Movie Review: Scary Movie (2026)

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite a few good laughs and the return of most of the cast from the first two films in the series, the sixth “Scary Movie” falls flat mostly by being too referential to that cast and elements of those films while massively overdeveloping the new cast and the story.… Read More: Movie Review: Scary Movie (2026) »

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: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A gorgeous looking film that promises epic adventure but ultimately falls flat due to pacing issues and a bland story. The Mario games aren’t really known for their storylines, with there being a handful of exceptions: “Super Mario Sunshine,” and the game the film is mostly based on, “Super… Read More: Movie Review: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie »

Movie Review: 28 Years Later

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A post-apocalyptic film that attempts to walk the line between being a sequel the previous films and laying the groundwork for a least one more film that works best when it tells its own story but falls flat when it ends up being more setup than payoff. While the… Read More: Movie Review: 28 Years Later »

Movie Review: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mildly entertaining sequel that suffers from feeling like there’s three different sequels happening at once. I enjoyed the original “Beetlejuice” when it came out, but I’ve mostly forgotten about it over time and never had a desire to see any type of follow-up. And it feels like the… Read More: Movie Review: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice »

Movie Review: Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mildly entertaining but forgettable chapter to a franchise that has lost all its relevance a long time ago. The basic plot was decent enough, and Will Smith and Martin Lawrence still have good chemistry, but there was very little to make any of it stand out. There are… Read More: Movie Review: Bad Boys: Ride or Die »

Movie Review: The Fall Guy

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 »

Movie Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

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 »

Movie Review: Ghostbusters: Frozen 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 »

Movie Review: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A buddy superhero comedy that never quite lands to due to weak jokes, wooden characters and minimal chemistry between the leads. The basic plot itself is fine, but it takes too long to lay out the stakes, and even then, there’s not a great indication on how bad things… Read More: Movie Review: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom »
