MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU

July 2, 2022 By Leave a Comment

MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU

There is a great deal of mileage to be had with characters as intrinsically adorable the Minions. And MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU takes it as far as it can go with a script that wobbles as uncertainly as Otto, the most loyal and least competent of little yellow creatures, does on the steep streets… Read More »

JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION

June 9, 2022 By Leave a Comment

JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION

At two hours and twenty-six minutes, JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION is as hefty as the ginormous terrestrial behemoths that feature prominently in it, and it is just as ungainly. It lumbers along using the intertia of its sheer mass to propel along a story that is as dedicated to calling out classics as it is to… Read More »

TOP GUN : MAVERICK

May 27, 2022 By Leave a Comment

TOP GUN : MAVERICK

I don’t know if TOP GUN:MAVERICK holds the record for the time elapsed between the original and the sequel, but if waiting over three decades results in a film as terrific as this, I hope filmmakers everywhere will at least consider taking their own sweet time when making sequels. This is an adrenalin-junkie’s fantasy, tightly… Read More »

DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

May 22, 2022 By Leave a Comment

DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

With DR. STRANGE IN THE MULITVERSE OF MADNESS, we are gifted with a thimbleful of plot in a vast expanse of cinematic ocean. This being yet another piece of the equally vast Marvel Universe, the story is obliged to take its hero, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), from Point A to Point B in order to… Read More »

SCREAM

January 22, 2022 By Leave a Comment

SCREAM

In a film that is dedicated to self-reference and meta self-awareness, my favorite snippet of SCREAM is a throwaway reference to “that guy who directed KNIVES OUT”. That, of course, is Rian Johnson, who had previously worked on THE LAST JEDI, thereby drawing the wrath of a section of Star Wars fans of all persuasions,… Read More »

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA

January 19, 2022 By Leave a Comment

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA is a relentlessly obvious and overplayed exercise in draining the last dregs from a moribund franchise. Let me put it this way. Adam Sandler, not known for discriminating taste in projects, took a pass on this material that continues the saga of Drac, the vampiric proprietor of the titular establishment that caters… Read More »

THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS

December 23, 2021 By Leave a Comment

THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS

THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS balances a vibrant cacophony of action with a criminally flabby script that takes far too long to get where it needs to go. It is a triumph of forthright, even giddy, self-awareness and nostalgia as Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) once again enters the Matrix as a neophyte taking us along for the… Read More »

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

December 17, 2021 By Leave a Comment

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

There is such a delicious and perfectly logical, surprise in SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME, that it alone would be worth the investment of your time and your money to see it in a theater.  Fortunately, there is so much more to enjoy as Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and those in his orbit face a future… Read More »

HALLOWEEN KILLS

October 15, 2021 By Leave a Comment

HALLOWEEN KILLS

We learn many things in HALLOWEEN KILLS, few of them surprises. One is that Jamie Lee Curtis is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to chewing up scenery with satisfying aplomb. Another is that the franchise is every bit as unkillable as its bogyman, Michael Myers, because it recognizes a formula that… Read More »

VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE

October 2, 2021 By 1 Comment

VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE

Just as I was thinking what a waste Tom Hardy was in VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE, I remembered that Mr. Hardy, who was so impressive in INCEPTION, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and a slew of other films, co-produced this sequel to VENOM, and also came up with the story. The… Read More »
