Movie Review – Challengers
This is a hard movie for me to grade. I didn’t particularly enjoy it because of the subject matter—drama/romance. Also the story is told in a non-linear fashion, which makes finding Peetimes particularly challenging and makes it harder for me to enjoy watching the movie while working. However, I recognize that it was expertly crafted…

Movie Review – The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
—
Going into the theater, I expected a movie that leaned into over-the-top action at the expense of plot and character development. I got the opposite. For the most part, the action was kept to a minimum, except for watching Anders go berserker mode. His action scenes were done as much for humor as action. True…

Movie Review – Abigail
—
Abigail is a thrilling experience. It blends elements of humor, blood, and guts in all the right ways. The film excels in balancing the darker aspects of its story with moments of humor, providing much-needed relief from the intense action sequences and dramatic developments. The characters’ witty dialogue and comedic timing add layers of depth…

Movie Review – The First Omen
—
In all honesty, this move bored me to death. I took my granddaughter with me and she was even bored. She was hopeful for some great scary moments but it never happened. It dragged terribly and I could barely understand a word they said. They mumbled terribly and they overdid the accents. In the last…

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…
