Going into this movie, I was worried that it would simply retread so much familiar material that often comes with similar movies of this subgenre. If one has already watched K9 or Turner and Hooch, then they know exactly what I mean. A troublesome dog gets mismatched with a human who previously has had no… Continue reading DOG

Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter, Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg), to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan, and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada (IMDB). It was good to see Holland portraying another character other than Spiderman and I would guess he is happy also.… Continue reading UNCHARTED

While on vacation on the Nile, Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) must investigate the murder of heiress Linnet Ridgeway (Gal Gadot) (IMDB). Branagh has made another great film. He has become a master of the visual aspects of film making but also of directing actors to give their best performance. Everything from the music, sets, and… Continue reading DEATH ON THE NILE

As I state in my review for Marry Me, two romantic comedies are available beginning the weekend before Valentine’s Day. While I moderately like that movie, the better, more realistic and thoroughly entertaining movie is I Want You Back, an unorthodox, but solidly written and directed comedy starring Charlie Day and Jenny Slate. I had… Continue reading I WANT YOU BACK

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I am not at all surprised that Hollywood has a couple of romantic-comedies planned to open this weekend. Well, good ole lucky me gets to review them both! All snark aside, I actually found something to enjoy from both of these movies. The, first of which is the new… Continue reading MARRY ME

After multiple delays, courtesy of COVID-19, Kenneth Branagh’s sequel to his Murder on the Orient Express adaptation is finally available in theaters. Recently, I finally watched the first installment which, for some reason, I never got around to watching when it was first released five years ago. While I enjoyed the film and found it… Continue reading DEATH ON THE NILE

You either like it or you loathe it, but Jackass is what it is. And this new installment is exactly what one would expect from the franchise. That said; I had a great time watching this crazy/stupid rag-tag group of, obviously aged, jackasses doing what they obviously seem to love doing. They love to shock,… Continue reading JACKASS FOREVER

When it comes to science-fiction disaster, Roland Emmerich definitely comes to mind. I don’t mean his movies are always total disasters, because some of them have been actually entertaining, but the filmmaker is best known for sci-fi movies that involve global disasters that either involve space aliens or natural phenomena threatening our beloved planet. With… Continue reading MOONFALL

I just recently wrote a review addressing how studios often squeeze and milk movie franchises for more dollars. And on the surface, the idea of releasing another Scream movie would seem to be just that–another attempt at pressing money out of a dedicated fan base that wants more of what entertains and amuses them. Now,… Continue reading SCREAM (2022)

There are some movie franchises that deliver something great with every installment, and there are those that lose some steam with each entry. Unfortunately, such is the case with the Hotel Transylvania saga. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first two movies, I can honestly say, at this point in my movie-watching experience, that the third… Continue reading HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA
