Movie Review – Monkey Man
—
I think the first John Wick represents the very best this genre has to offer. Monkey Man follows the path of revenge storyline of John Wick fairly closely. Acting Unsurprisingly, the acting in Monkey Man is top-notch. Dev Patel is excellent, and the supporting cast all the way around is pretty good. The villains are properly despicable in their…

Movie Review – Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is world’s better than the first one. The improvements that they made shined, the monsters actually looked like monsters. I’m really excited, there is going to be a third one coming out soon-ish. The universe that they’re working on sounds like a really good time. I love their idea of…

Movie Review – Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
—
I’m a big fan of the Monsterverse. I have enjoyed all of them, usually more than I expected. But this is probably the worst of all of the Monsterverse movies so far. I’m not saying it was bad. But I just didn’t feel the awesome that all of the other movies somehow managed to capture here…

Movie Review – Immaculate
—
Immaculate blew me away. I did not prepare myself adequately. I want to first address the graphic nature of this movie. It’s rated R for a reason. You will see things that you won’t ever forget. In order to not ruin your viewing experience, I’m not going to give you the ending, just a fair…

Movie Review – Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
—
I didn’t have high hopes, but this was better than I expected. That isn’t a surprise because Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was co-written and directed by Jason Reitman—the son of Ivan Reitman who directed the first Ghostbusters. Jason has missed the mark with a few of his movies. What writer/director hasn’t? But he’s hit it out of…

Movie Review – The American Society of Magical Negroes
—
“Welcome to the American Society of Magical Negroes!” is said to Aren (Justice Smith) as his world has now completely shifted from the mundane to now possessing magical powers, a la “Men in Black”. (In fact, both films use “erasing your memory” as the ultimate punishment when banished from their respective societies). Anyway, Aren now…

Movie Review – Love Lies Bleeding
—
Love Lies and Bleeding was bloody awful. I’ve become quite the fan of A24 Productions and they really let me down. Man, it was bad. I was very curious to see Kristin Stewart in a role like this. I feel she’s better off with Edward in his glittery world than in a movie like this.…

Movie Review – One Life
—
The first thing that struck me is the magnificent job Johnny Flynn does as a young Anthony Hopkins. From his first scene you can see how he studied the head movements and manner of speaking that personifies Anthony Hopkins. It’s a little strange that the actor is working to imitate another actor who is playing…

Movie Review – Imaginary
—
Imaginary is an aptly named movie. It’s a storyline we haven’t seen much of in years past, so it hasn’t been played out yet. That said, it’s difficult to make a teddy bear scary. However, Jason Blum gave it a pretty good shot. The acting was on par with a movie of this type, with…

Movie Review – Cabrini
—
I was proven wrong yet again; another movie I dreaded that I absolutely loved. It was totally captivating. I must admit, I had never heard of Mother Cabrini until last night. What an amazing woman. She was single-handedly responsible for such greatness that she inspires women around the world. I suppose that’s why she was…
