A moody drama about four criminals laying low in a house together, All the Devils Are Here is stylistically interesting but ultimately dull, never quite making the most of its talented cast. Sam Claflin is one of those actors who can factor into my choosing to watch a movie. He is consistently likable, even when…
A true-crime dramatization of the infamous murder case, Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story leans so heavily into melodrama that it becomes difficult to take seriously. I don’t watch many Lifetime movies, but I am a huge true crime lover. If you are willing to share your story, I’m here to watch it, and lots…
A painfully awkward film about selfish humans who keep androids of themselves to do everything they don’t want to do, Robots purports to be a romantic comedy, but it’s just not funny. Every once in a while, you come across a movie that could be cute. You have a gut feeling that it might not…
An odd documentary about the serial murders and attempted murders of over a dozen babies after birth, The Investigation Of Lucy Letby is heavy on the AI and light on participants. I have mentioned before that I am a huge true crime watcher. Documentaries like Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart, The Perfect Neighbor, and Memories Of A…
A movie that purports to be a romantic comedy, The Best You Can, about a woman married to an older man who develops a relationship with a local security officer, is empty and disappointing. I am old enough to clearly remember when Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon got married. She was one of the most…
A tedious romantic drama about various people in various relationships, Regretting You is long, drawn out, and the definition of its title. Between Once Upon A Time, Gifted, and Young Sheldon, I feel like I’ve watched McKenna Grace grow up on screen. Most of us have seen her in something – she has already had…
An inane film about a shallow modern matchmaker who is looking for the perfect rich guy, Materialists is not one to waste your time with. Looking at the movie poster, I was already wary. Not knowing anything about the film other than it appears that Dakota Johnson is choosing between Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans,…
Based on a Tony winning play, The History Boys, about a group of teenage boys trying to achieve entrance into university, is different than it seems to be. Being the theatre nerd that I am, I had heard about The History Boys and added it to my watchlist years ago. The film is based on…
An odd film that never clicks, Honey Don’t!, about a private investigator in a small town, has no sensible storyline or entertainment value. Seriously, just don’t. There are some movies where, when you hit play, you watch a few minutes and go, “OH NO.” I am someone who always finishes a movie no matter what,…
A lifeless third installment of the series, Magic Mike’s Last Dance has a few entertaining dance numbers, but minimal anything else. I remember when the first Magic Mike movie was released, and it was all the rage. Women flocked to the theaters and it was all anyone was talking about for a short time. I…
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 film that is a great definition of “fine,” Riff Raff has an excellent cast that is underutilized and a story that is unsure where it’s going. Occasionally you find a movie that has such an excellent cast on the poster that you have to watch it. There is no reason that it shouldn’t be…
