I have written reviews about many sequels and franchises on my blog, and there is one theme I can’t help myself from repeating over and over. Why do studios find something successful and decide we need more of it, only to water everything about it down and ruin good ideas? Flint Lockwood (Bill Harder) gave … More Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was a unique story that really was a brilliant idea brought to life. We all have an inventor inside of us. Only a handful of us devotes the time and energy to actually bring those ideas to life. Flint Lockwood (Bill Harder) has had a billion visions with only … More Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009)
All good things have to come to an end. Now to say that the “Fallen” series was any good is up to your discretion. I loved the first one, Olympus, while the second failed to live up to expectations. You can tell in this third one, they threw some ideas around and tried to give … More Angel Has Fallen (2019)
I really wanted Hobbs and Shaw to be a non-stop comedy. I was hoping that the pent up aggression between Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) would lead to chaos. There is chaos, and there is some comedy, just not at the level I expected from the trailer. Sure, there are a lot of … More Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Crawl was released to a 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I can testify that those numbers are accurate. This intense thriller is man against beast, time against the storm, all the classic clinches that make for good stories. Kaya Scodelario carries the story from start to finish thanks to her ability to act brave … More Crawl (2019)
Stuber wanted to modernize the cop buddy comedy by combining a blind cop, fresh out of Lasik surgery, and a desperate Uber driver. You would think there wouldn’t be any chemistry between Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani, but the two kinda make it work. Bautista may always be famous for his role as Drax, which … More Stuber (2019)
At another time, Spider-Man: Far from Home would have probably been a huge success. Following up Endgame is a tough task to take on. Thankfully Jake Gyllenhaal saves the film as a fantastic bad guy. He steals the show with his illusions as Tom Holland fumbles and bumbles his way through another tour of duty … More Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)
At first, I thought I was going to hate the back and forth storytelling. The narrative switched from present to the past and then back to the present too many times for my liking. Everything eventually came together and I liked the way the story played out. The ending capped off an entertaining movie, which … More Anna (2019)
The Big Hit is one of Mark Wahlberg’s early film projects. I got to admit this movie was so over the top and funny that I couldn’t stop laughing from start to finish. Whether it was the buddy who was obsessed with masturbating or the girlfriend who was okay with dead body parts in the … More The Big Hit (1998)
3/10 If you are a Pokemon fan, I’d advise you to stop reading now. Halfway through the movie, I sat there and wondered what on Earth I was doing there. I didn’t see any point to this movie except to sell more Pokemon stuff. It was hard to listen to Ryan Reynolds talk and then … More Pokemon Detective Pikachu (2019)
