OVER THE MOON

December 31, 2020 By Leave a Comment

OVER THE MOON

OVER THE MOON sensitively takes on a difficult subject, the loss of a mother with the subsequent prospect of a blended family. It becomes a film that is respectful of the issue, yet triumphantly uplifting in it message of moving on while still honoring the past. Along the way, we learn about the importance of… Read More »

RADIOACTIVE

July 24, 2020 By Leave a Comment

RADIOACTIVE

RADIOACTIVE tells a story of scientific curiosity in a world where personality skews the perception of the work itself, and politics are never far from the equation. It lays bare not just the injustice of that, but also its stupidity

BLOODSHOT

March 22, 2020 By Leave a Comment

BLOODSHOT

Where to begin with BLOODSHOT, a derivative lump of lethargy that taints the thrill of the plot twist, and renders an action sequence in plummeting elevators dully predictable? Right down to the quips. Powered solely by Vin Diesel’s star power, it is overwritten and under cogitated, with special effects that aren’t. Diesel is still a… Read More »

GEMINI MAN

GEMINI MAN

It is the age old question, just because we >can< so something, does that automatically mean that we should?  In the case of pitting an older Will Smith against a younger Will Smith courtesy of the slick visual effects in GEMINI MAN, the answer is a resounding no.  Make that NO. The visual trickery that… Read More »

ABOMINABLE

September 29, 2019 By Leave a Comment

ABOMINABLE

ABOMINABLE is a sweet, if unremarkable, movie. With a plot that offers little in the way of novelty and characters who are as familiar to fans of contemporary animated films aimed at kiddies as Harlequin was to fans of the commedia dell’arte, it does boast some fine animation and a mythical creature that is undeniably… Read More »

ONCE UPON A TIME . . . IN HOLLYWOOD

July 26, 2019 By Leave a Comment

ONCE UPON A TIME . . . IN HOLLYWOOD

The 9th film from Quentin Tarantino, aka ONCE UPON A TIME . . . IN HOLLYWOOD, takes us back to 1969, and a land of fragile dreams, transactional relationships, and the manifestation of the dark side of it all in the form of Charles Manson (Damon Herriman). Manson himself has but a cameo in the… Read More »

HUNTER KILLER

October 26, 2018 By Leave a Comment

HUNTER KILLER

The best thing I can say about HUNTER KILLER is that is it forgettable. This putative thriller of geopolitics and military bonding blows things up, sinks submarines, parachutes stoic guys through a thunderstorm, and fires endless automatic weapons, but when it’s all over, not much sticks beyond a nicely timed wrench catch, and the fortuitous… Read More »

I FEEL PRETTY

I FEEL PRETTY

Amy Schumer.  What the hell happened?  Blazing into theaters with TRAINWRECK, a film that gleefully subverted rom-coms with extreme prejudice, she is now flailing through I FEEL PRETTY, her second disaster in a row. That both of them (the other was SNATCHED) were the very genre she set on fire is an irony that, perhaps,… Read More »

THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD

August 17, 2017 By Leave a Comment

THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD

In a way, it would be a shame to saddle Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds with too much plot in THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD. The snark fest that they provide as adversaries forced to endure one another’s company is its own reward as they travel from Manchester to The Hague while fending off some very… Read More »

THE GREAT WALL

February 21, 2017 By 1 Comment

THE GREAT WALL

THE GREAT WALL is a big, blustery action-adventure flick in the classic mold, but with one exception.  There’s no damsel in distress here. Instead, the winsome lady of the piece is a warrior with nerves of steel and no fear of heights. Kudos there. Not everywhere, but definitely there. Set somewhere in the 11th century,… Read More »
