Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube After taking too long to get to its point while trying too hard to be interesting by being overly quirky, “The Fall Guy” mostly gels into something worth watching for the final act. This film was advertised as an action-comedy with a mystery and a love story. In reality,… Read More: Movie Review: The Fall Guy »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite having Godzilla prominently in the title and the film heavily marketing a team-up between him and Kong, this film is more “Kong: Planet of the Apes featuring a guest appearance by Godzilla.” The Kong stuff mostly works. He’s given more of a personality here than ever before and… Read More: Movie Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A fairly dull comedy with minimal laughs, that is also sorely lacking in the franchise’s trademark supernatural excitement. The plot moves pretty slowly as it sporadically drop pieces to the puzzle, only for things to move a warp speed once it gets to the third act. (It doesn’t help… Read More: Movie Review: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire »

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Advertised as an action-packed prequel to “The Kingsman” featuring colorful characters and cool-spy tech, this film is kind of a slow-moving World War 1 period piece that lacks direction or much of the fun stuff that was expected.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube After a nearly twenty-year absence, “The Matrix” franchise returns and the film doesn’t just struggle to get out of the trilogy’s shadow, it intentionally spends a lot of time in it.
