Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mediocre addition to “Ghostbusters” franchise, filled with lifeless new characters, and almost two hours worth of fan service, that occasionally hits its mark. The plot of the film is shockingly similar to the first “Ghostbusters,” albeit the narrative is pushed by characters that are learning about family secrets… Read More »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A fairly enjoyable movie that suffers from an overlong runtime and too many characters. This could have been a pretty solid film by trimming some of both. The plot is fine, but the multiple threats facing the heroes never properly flow together, and things slow down for some massive… Read More »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube I have never read the Dune novel, and haven’t seen the 1984 adaption since I was pretty young, so I don’t remember any details and went into this version with no expectations. A gorgeous looking film that seems to go on forever, just to put to the pieces in… Read More »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube While working great as a sendoff to Daniel Craig’s era of playing James Bond, a too vaguely-defined threat and a mediocre villain suck the urgency out of this film.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A fun superhero origin tale that delivers some great action and fleshed-out characters, all while putting Asian culture on display in a respectful manner.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A sequel that easily surpasses the original, this film fires a barrage of humor, gore, misfit characters, and action that just don’t quite payoff in the end. While the plot is a pretty straightforward tale of a ragtag group on a dangerous mission, most of the attempts to surprise… Read More »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A grounded tale about a man dealing with his traumatic past quickly devolves into an over the top movie that injects ninjas, mystical elements, and cartoony heroes and villains into the mix, and in the right hands that can be a lot of fun, here it just turns into… Read More »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A solid solo film for Marvel’s Black Widow that introduces some fun new characters, but wraps the story up in a bit of a mess. While this movie is hindered by the fact that it’s a prequel and we know Natasha will survive, the rest of the supporting cast’s… Read More »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mildly entertaining ride that alternates between ridiculous action and family drama, but rarely deviates from the formula established by the last 6 or so films in the franchise. If you’re not a fan of the previous “Fast” films, this latest entry isn’t going to change your mind. The… Read More »
