CANDYMAN

August 30, 2021 By Leave a Comment

CANDYMAN

CANDYMAN wants to do more than creep you out with mere gore. To that end, this sequel to the original does more than ignore the three subsequent films in that previous franchise, though it does, like those other films, drench the screen in blood from time to time. Here, though, the true horror that it… Read More »

BLACK WIDOW

July 10, 2021 By Leave a Comment

BLACK WIDOW

Braids, French and other, loom large in the visuals of BLACK WIDOW, and it is an apt metaphor. The ultra-femininity of long, flowing hair rigorously trained into orderly rows of tightly disciplined tresses echoes the rigorous training given to ultra-feminine assassin-turned-Avenger Natasha Romanoff, the eponymous super-heroine in this her first spinoff from the Marvel Universe.… Read More »

F9: The Fast Saga

June 26, 2021 By Leave a Comment

F9: The Fast Saga

I get it. After eight installments of souped-up cars zooming (in the old sense) across the screen, the stakes are very high in F9: THE FAST SAGA, a franchise that is dedicated to finding new ways to crash, crumple, and otherwise decimate automobiles. And so including a Pontiac Fiero tooling around in space should not… Read More »

THE HITMAN’S WIFE’S BODYGUARD

June 15, 2021 By Leave a Comment

THE HITMAN’S WIFE’S BODYGUARD

When last we saw ex-Triple A rated bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds), he had succeeded in getting notorious hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson) to the Hague to testify against a genocidal dictator (Gary Oldman). He had also taken a bullet for Darius, which is part of a bodyguard’s job. It would have been better… Read More »

THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

June 4, 2021 By Leave a Comment

THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

It is the way of franchises that, with a few notable exceptions, they sequel themselves into diminished returns that eventually test even the most ardent fans. And so it is with THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, a pale reminder of what we loved about the original, with no actual reason to love… Read More »

A QUIET PLACE 2

May 30, 2021 By Leave a Comment

A QUIET PLACE 2

There is something wonderfully cathartic about spending an hour-and-a-half or so being kept on the edge of one’s seat in a state of suspenseful terror. And thus does John Krasinski’s A QUIET PLACE 2 deliver. As excellent as it would have been as an entertainment if it had enjoyed its original, pre-pandemic release date, the… Read More »

GODZILLA VS. KONG

March 31, 2021 By Leave a Comment

GODZILLA VS. KONG

If there were special awards for truth in advertising when it comes to movie titles, GODZILLA VS. KONG would sweep them. Essentially, that is all there is to this extravagant spree of special effects and occasional camp. The plot, and there is a great deal of it, is completely subservient to upping the ante when… Read More »

THE CROODS: A NEW AGE

December 29, 2020 By Leave a Comment

THE CROODS: A NEW AGE

The animation in THE CROODS: A NEW AGE is just as lovely as it was in the original. As we find our cave family going through some changes, though, the story, while lively, has a distinctly mid-century sit-com vibe, and not just because that Partridge Family anthem, “I Think I Love You”, is on repeat… Read More »

WONDER WOMAN 1984

WONDER WOMAN 1984

At one point in WONDER WOMAN 1984, it’s as if we are is dared to think of the phrase “cat fight” as Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) tangles with one of the two villains of the piece, played by Kristen Wiig. I don’t quite know what to make of that in this troubled film that is… Read More »

BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

October 23, 2020 By Leave a Comment

BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

Borat Sagdiyev, once the second-best journalist in Kazakhstan, makes a return trip to America in BORAT: SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM, and he finds a country not so much changed in its dynamics from his last visit, as one that is more extreme. The jokes are harsher, and in many cases funnier. And they need to be. Since… Read More »
