Movie Review: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube An enjoyable return to the Star Wars universe that offers few surprises and doesn’t do much to justify bringing these characters from the small screen to the big screen.

Movie Review: Mortal Kombat II

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite fairly accurately recreating the story-mode of the modern Mortal Kombat games, this latest attempt at a film adaption feels too much like a video game and only stays afloat by a couple of entertaining performances. On paper, the plot is pretty solid, and it continues on from the… Read More: Movie Review: Mortal Kombat II »

Movie Review: Michael

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A somewhat flat biopic that still shines thanks to incredible music and strong performances by the leads.

Movie Review: Return to Silent Hill

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Director Christophe Gans attempts to adapt one of the greatest video games off all time, and despite his previous bloated but serviceable take on the first “Silent Hill” game, his stripped-down follow-up comes up short on almost every level. While the plot on its core does sound like the… Read More: Movie Review: Return to Silent Hill »

Movie Review: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Following up the unevenly produced “28 Years Later,” the sequel gets off to a slow start before wrapping up in an intriguing fashion. The directing is good but employs a few too many jump scares and doesn’t try to be experimental like the last movie did. The film struggles early, as it initially feels like… Read More: Movie Review: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple »

Movie Review: Avatar: Fire and Ash (3D)

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A gorgeous looking film with a handful of strong character moments that is derailed by its long runtime and a plot that mostly repeats story beats and action sequences from the previous “Avatar” film.
