The Running Man
Fasten your seatbelts; The Running Man is an Edgar Wright film. Remember Baby Driver? The stakes are high; the pace is frenetic; the story is preposterous yet still feels accessible.…
One Battle After Another
Very loosely based on Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel "Vineland," Paul Thomas Anderson's (Licorice Pizza, The Master) latest film is a seriously entertaining action dramedy perfectly timed to our current political…
F1: The Movie
It's interesting how the order in which we see films can impact our perspective/review. I suspect I would have been more blown away by F1: The Movie if I had…
Superman
Christopher Reeve will always be the OG, but this latest iteration of Superman is definitely well-suited to carry the mantle forward. David Corenswet's name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue,…
Jurassic World Rebirth
It may be time to let sleeping dinosaurs lie. Despite a strong cast and a pedigree of prehistoric proportions, Jurassic World Rebirth is surprisingly weak, with a story more fractured…
Mission: Impossible —The Final Reckoning
[This review will self-destruct in five seconds...unless you choose to read it.] When the fate of the world hangs in the balance, nobody goes to greater heights-- or depths-- to…
The Accountant 2
The Accountant 2 is very much like The Accountant (2016). That’s not necessarily a bad thing. A good sequel beats an awful original any day — especially when we’re in…
The Legend of Ochi
E.T. set a really high bar for children's fantasy films in my youth. And I've pretty much aged out of the genre. So The Legend of Ochi didn't do much…
The Gorge
I’m always a bit skeptical when a movie with a pair of talented leads opens on a streaming service without a theatrical release. So I was pleasantly surprised by The…
Thelma
I’m late to the party on this nonagenarian action-comedy, but better late than never! June Squibb (Nebraska) is an absolute gem as Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who falls…
Deadpool & Wolverine
This one's easy. Have you seen Deadpool, Deadpool 2, Wolverine, Logan and various other X-Men flicks, the Avengers movies, "Loki" (on Disney+), etc.? Did you know that studio buyouts made…
Twisters
Is it a sequel? Is it a remake? Does it even matter? Twisters is a wild, entertaining and periodically intense ride that needs to be seen on the big screen…
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
As a sequel, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is serviceable, but nothing special. It picks up where Ghostbusters: Afterlife left off, with the next generation of ghostbusters-- including Callie (Carrie Coon), Trevor…
Arthur the King
Arthur the King is an adventure movie and meet-cute about a man and a dog. It's based on the true story of professional adventure racer Mikael Lindnord and a scrappy…
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
I often gripe about running times, especially when a movie is (needlessly) longer than two hours. There's no griping with Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. At 160 minutes,…
