Movie Review – Killers of the Flower Moon
—
If you don’t want to read any spoilers before seeing this movie then I can just say that I found the movie to be shallow and unnecessarily long. These characters were real-life people. I can’t write a proper movie review without getting into the characters and their actions so there will be spoilers ahead. You’ve…

Movie Review – The Exorcist: Believer
—
The Exorcist: Believer, the highly anticipated sequel to the horror classic, unleashes a terrifying tale that will leave audiences trembling. Directed by a master of suspense, this movie brings a fresh twist to the possessed genre. One standout element is the stellar performance by Ellen Burstyn, who not only delivers a convincing portrayal of a…

Movie Review – Dumb Money
—
I think the obvious comparison is to liken this movie to others such as The Big Short, Margin Call, et al. If you’re familiar with those movies then I’d say that this one isn’t nearly as dark. The events around Game Stop in 2020/21 are tragic to a few, rewarding for more than a few, and game-changing for an…

Movie Review – Saw X
—
Saw X is by far the most sedate of the entire franchise. My 10-year-old granddaughter begged me to take her and I finally caved. I had really tried to talk her out of it because if there was one thing I was sure of, his torture devices would scar her for life. Let’s fast forward halfway…

Movie Review – The Creator
—
This is a tough movie to review because there’s so much to unpack. Sad by probably true With all of the recent advancements in AI/Machine Learning (ML) it really feels that stories like this are moving from science fiction to this shit is about to get real. Robots and AI aren’t something that are over the horizon anymore.…

Movie Review – It Lives Inside
—
It Lives Inside was better than I thought it would be. I honestly didn’t know much about it going in, that worked out well for me because I had no expectations. So when I left, I left happy. One of the things I really enjoyed is the movie makers are giving us more movies that…

Movie Review – Expend4bles
—
Where to start? I guess with the script, that displayed zero creativity. And that’s a little surprising because the writers—Kurt Wimmer, Tad Daggerhart, and Max Adams—have collectively done some nice work in the past, such as Law Abiding Citizen, Equilibrium, The Terminal List, and Bumblebee. So they’re not exactly hacks, but if I were them,…

Movie Review – The Retirement Plan
—
If you’re looking for a fun movie with a huge cast of really great performances, then The Retirement Plan is what you need to watch. I had so much fun watching this movie. So many things are happening simultaneously that it makes for a fun night. I loved the variety of characters in this flick.…

Movie Review – A Haunting in Venice
—
It doesn’t do anything to move the needle in the mystery genre, but if you’re a fan of the Hercule Poirot movies then you’ll probably feel right at home. This story did do an interesting job intertwining the aspect of the supernatural in a way that fits with a Hercule move. I checked IMDb and…

Movie Review – My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3
This isn’t the sort of movie that needs a review. I can’t imagine why anyone would see My Big Fat Greek III movie unless they have seen the previous two My Big Fat Greek Weddings. Going to see this movie feels a bit like a reunion with the cast. Before the movie began, there was a brief synopsis…
