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 »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Bill & Ted are back with a new adventure that pulls from their previous journeys, and also adds a new wrinkle, but ultimately the entire thing falls flat. The plot itself is fine: Bill & Ted work against a ticking clock to finally make the world-saving song they were… Read More »
Overall enjoyable, the long-delayed sequel to “Zombieland” doesn’t bring much new to the table. The basic story is nothing special, just an excuse to get our characters from point A to point B. The plot would’ve benefited from more defined threats to give the whole thing a bit of urgency. The humor is much the… Read More »
With awesome action sequences and likable characters, “Incredibles 2” is still plenty of fun, despite the recycled plot and cliché role reversal. Just like the first film, the Parr family is the heart of the story. Like last time, they are relatable, and are brought to life with strong voice acting. It’s cartoony when it… Read More »
Still funny and outrageous, “Deadpool 2” somehow manages to feel like the standard superhero adventure. This film doesn’t follow the path you would expect. Although we do get another opening sequence that leads to a flashback, the story takes a shocking turn early on. After that, we settle in for the jokes and fourth wall… Read More »
A slightly new twist on an old concept, the film unofficially known as “Cock Blockers” is amusing, occasionally very funny, and surprisingly full of heart. What works the most here as far as the comedy is the interaction between the three adults leads. There is some funny dialog between these increasingly desperate characters, nothing particularly… Read More »
A fun movie that shows potential at times to be great, but never rises to the occasion. The premise/plot is solid and a nice modern twist on the first “Jumanji” film. The execution falters pretty early on as it doesn’t really feel like the characters are advancing through a video game. It’s more like they… Read More »
A fun ride full of humor and action, but lacking a bit with depth. It’s clear from the opening moments that this film will be full of comedy, including some slapstick moments. Not only is the humor more prominent here than in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, but the bright colors and characters also… Read More »
An entertaining, if at times shallow, film that moves with nonstop energy. There are some amazing action moments. Most comes from the car chases, but there are also shootouts and foot chase sequences that feature great stunt work. While the action scenes are fantastic, even some of the more mundane moments have a lot of… Read More »
Boring characters and a weak story undo a clever concept. This film is essentially “Toy Story,” but with food replacing the toys and constant R-rated humor. However, the characters her are more characterizations and stereotypes as opposed to anything original or interesting. There’s a whiney Jewish bagel and a Spanish taco in the main cast.… Read More »
