    Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Zombieland: Double Tap

    Double sequel week! Both “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”  and “Zombieland: Double Tap” are inferior to their predecessors. This all begs the question: Can we not just stop with the unnecessary sequels please?!  More about Maleficent: Mistress of Evil “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” is about on par with the first, meaning mediocre when it’s at its…

  • Review: Gemini Man and Pain and Glory

    Alas “Gemini Man” has two times the Will Smith, and yet zero quality. Meanwhile “Pain and Glory” is for Artists with a capital A and Antonio Banderas gives an amazing performance in it. It’s really too bad given that “Gemini Man” is directed by Ang Lee (one of my favorite directors). The film is as…

  • Review: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

    This week brings Quentin Tarantino’s latest self indulgence, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” ​In spite of an A-list cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Emile Hirsch, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, Al Pacino, Luke Perry, and Kurt Russell, this 2 hour 45 minute bloated film belongs in a time of old,…

  • Review: Holmes & Watson

    Doing another bit of backtracking and ruining my love of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as a comedic duo. “Holmes and Watson” WAS going to be my family’s Christmas movie, and it’s a miracle it wasn’t because this is a low for the duo. Somehow Rebecca Hall, Rob Brydon, Steve Coogan, Ralph Fiennes, Lauren…

  • Review: Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse and Mortal Engines

    This week brings one of the best superhero films of the year, “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse” and the catastrophic “Mortal Engines” from Peter Jackson. Spiderverse just might be my favorite Spider-Man film of all time. The animated film from Sony brings us Miles Morales’ story in a refreshing update to an origins story. Shameik Moore,…

  • Spider-Man: Homecoming

    ​What happens when two major movie studios finally decide to team up? We get our 6th Spider-Man film in 15 years! Tom Holland dons the Spidey-Suit for his first solo foray as the web-slinger, with a little help from Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. People are calling this the best film in the MCU…
