Bright was released in 2017 and was a film that Netflix publicized heavily to attract viewers to their platform. With Will Smith and Joel Edgerton as headliners, it seemed like a golden opportunity for the streaming service to make a name in the action genre. Honestly, they failed. Miserably. If you need a good laugh, … More Bright (2017)
The Descendants’ movies had never been on my viewing radar. That was until my wife told me they were on Disney+, and I should give them a try. So as skeptical as I may have been and as cheesy as the dance moves are, these Descendants movies are not the worse thing ever. They are … More Descendants (2015)
Meet Joe Black is a reimagined movie based on Death Takes a Holiday (1934). Brad Pitt is Joe Black, Death in human form after a freak accident takes his life. He meets up with Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins), who is experiencing some health concerns but continues to live his life with no regrets. Joe falls … More Meet Joe Black (1998)
As avid readers of this blog probably know, we rarely dip into the vault of Hollywood classic movies. When talking about Meet Joe Black about a week ago, I remembered buying a special edition of MJB that had the original film, Death Takes a Holiday in the bonus features.

It has been over 20 years since City of Angels graced the big screen, and the only thing really worth remembering is Iris from the Goo Goo Dolls. Now I don’t want to take anything away from the movie, story, or characters, but face it, you feel like you’ve seen this movie before. The impossible … More City of Angels (1998)
Fallen would probably not pop up on anyone’s radar unless you read the books. I was skeptical about a movie that has spawned several sequel books, yet only one film to date. These thoughts made me wonder how good the source material really was. Now having said that and after watching the movie, I am … More Fallen (2016)
When Left Behind II ended, I was excited to see how the next chapter would play out. Sadly that joy was crushed along with my interest in whatever happens next with this film series. Although Kirk Cameron is the star of the series, as Buck Williams, the third installment gives all the spotlight to American … More Left Behind III: World at War (2005)
As mentioned in a previous review for the first installment, Left Behind, this movie was super cheap on effects but abundant with performances. People will mock the entire series for its overzealous performances while trying to find a reason to stay invested in the program. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first one, but … More Left Behind II: Tribulation Force (2002)
The Left Behind series is a 16 book collection about the fictional end of the world, based on the scripture in the book of Revelations. Several years after it’s release and best selling status, Cloud Ten made a handful of movies starring Kirk Cameron. Given that the production quality was the early 2000s and by … More Left Behind (2000)
Underworld: Blood Wars was the latest and last entry into the Underworld saga. It was released in 2016 and was the second film I caught at the theatre.

After watching the first four installments recently, I can now fully understood … More Underworld: Blood Wars (2016)
