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: Star Trek: Section 31

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Originally planned as a streaming series before morphing into a streaming film, terrible pacing, over-the-top characters, weak production values, questionable directing choices, and twists that can be seen a mile away completely crush the kernel of a good idea that this film was based around.

Movie Review: Kraven the Hunter

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A bland film that stars with potential until it quickly gets bogged down by a silly origin story, which is followed by the main plot which is full of characters you struggle to care about, cheesy villains, and so-so action sequences.

Movie Review: Morbius

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A boring film with pacing issues, weak acting, bland characters and no sense of urgency or peril. The overall plot is weak and introduces the science-based vampire angle only to quickly disregard any form of science. The pacing is all over, and never allows time to connect with the… Read More »

Movie Review: Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins

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 »
