Movie Review: Zombieland: Double Tap

Overall enjoyable, the long-delayed sequel to “Zombieland” doesn’t bring much new to the table. The basic story is nothing special, just an excuse to get our characters from point A to point B. The plot would’ve benefited from more defined threats to give the whole thing a bit of urgency. The humor is much the… Read More »

Movie Review: Incredibles 2

With awesome action sequences and likable characters, “Incredibles 2” is still plenty of fun, despite the recycled plot and cliché role reversal. Just like the first film, the Parr family is the heart of the story. Like last time, they are relatable, and are brought to life with strong voice acting. It’s cartoony when it… Read More »

Movie Review: Deadpool 2

Still funny and outrageous, “Deadpool 2” somehow manages to feel like the standard superhero adventure. This film doesn’t follow the path you would expect. Although we do get another opening sequence that leads to a flashback, the story takes a shocking turn early on. After that, we settle in for the jokes and fourth wall… Read More »

Movie Review: Blockers

A slightly new twist on an old concept, the film unofficially known as “Cock Blockers” is amusing, occasionally very funny, and surprisingly full of heart. What works the most here as far as the comedy is the interaction between the three adults leads. There is some funny dialog between these increasingly desperate characters, nothing particularly… Read More »

Movie Review: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

A fun movie that shows potential at times to be great, but never rises to the occasion. The premise/plot is solid and a nice modern twist on the first “Jumanji” film. The execution falters pretty early on as it doesn’t really feel like the characters are advancing through a video game. It’s more like they… Read More »

Movie Review: Thor: Ragnarok

A fun ride full of humor and action, but lacking a bit with depth. It’s clear from the opening moments that this film will be full of comedy, including some slapstick moments. Not only is the humor more prominent here than in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, but the bright colors and characters also… Read More »

Movie Review: Baby Driver

An entertaining, if at times shallow, film that moves with nonstop energy. There are some amazing action moments. Most comes from the car chases, but there are also shootouts and foot chase sequences that feature great stunt work. While the action scenes are fantastic, even some of the more mundane moments have a lot of… Read More »

Movie Review: Sausage Party

Boring characters and a weak story undo a clever concept. This film is essentially “Toy Story,” but with food replacing the toys and constant R-rated humor. However, the characters her are more characterizations and stereotypes as opposed to anything original or interesting. There’s a whiney Jewish bagel and a Spanish taco in the main cast.… Read More »

Movie Review: Ghostbusters (2016)

Despite all of the negative fan backlash, this is an enjoyable film. While it is not even close to the train wreck that was predicted, this still can’t fill the shoes of the original “Ghostbusters.” The cast is what holds the movie together. The leads are all likable and have good chemistry. There’s even some… Read More »
