A rough thriller about a kidnapped and drugged woman that has no palpable tension, Don’t Move wastes the potential that it had. Remember last week when I was saying that Netflix pumps out movies? Some are better than others and you can never be quite sure until you get into them how it’s going to…
An intense thriller about candidates who walk until there is only one winner, The Long Walk is a story of deep-rooted desires, nefarious ideas, and lifelong brotherhood. I really enjoyed this. I have to admit, I have only ever read part of one Stephen King book. I got about 200 pages into The Stand and…
A wonky film that feels like a combination of Men In Black and Everything Everywhere All At Once, John Dies At The End is an interdimensional dark comedy that has two college dropouts fighting to save the world. I have mentioned many times now that I’m not into horror films, but occasionally I’ll try a…
An riveting sci-fi thriller about astronauts trying to save the sun before the extinction of humanity, Sunshine has an incredible ensemble and a tension that never lets go. There are some excellent films out there with wonderful ensembles. The Big Chill and Steel Magnolias are the first two that pop into my head because no…
John Wick in Korean, but 4 years before John Wick ever came out? I am SO here for The Man From Nowhere and it is FANTASTIC! I’ll admit that, as usual, I went into this movie completely blind. I had added it to my list long ago and clicked play without reading anything further. Honestly,…
With a focus on audio just as much as visual, Blow Out is a spectacular film about a sound engineer who accidentally witnesses and records a murder. A work way ahead of its time. I have to admit that when I see that John Travolta is in a film, a little voice inside me says,…
A gritty and wild thriller with a hint of comedy, Love Lies Bleeding is about a female bodybuilder and the woman who loves her, who affect each other’s worlds in unforeseeable ways. There are some movies that you have to marinate on after you’ve watched them. While the movie was on, there was so much…
A film about machines arriving on earth to attack the world, War Of The Worlds 2025 is so incredibly bad that it’s literally laughable. I will admit, I gave into peer pressure here. I keep hearing rumblings about how bad this movie is, so I had to see for myself. Well, I’m here to tell…
A solid thriller about political activists and conspiracy theories within the British government in Ireland, Hidden Agenda allows both Brian Cox and Frances McDormand to shine. I’ll admit that there are movies where I get a little lost in the intricacies. This typically happens to me when governments and the military in other countries are…
A slow building sports movie that ultimately explodes, The Novice is an intense pressure cooker that only gets better the longer you watch. You’ve never seen a movie about rowing quite like this before. There are some excellent sports films out there and some that are less than fantastic (I’m looking at you, Vision Quest)….
A dynamic superhero movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like The Jetsons meets comic books, even if the CGI baby misses the mark. I have never watched a Fantastic Four movie before. They were never really on my radar, and since my son is an encyclopedia of comics and lore, I never felt like…
A silly and zany comedy full of gags, The Naked Gun 2025 is a light and funny film that shows off Liam Neeson’s slapstick chops. I remember watching the first The Naked Gun movie when it came out in 1988 starring Leslie Neilson. I was in 7th grade and I went to see it on…
