Movie Review: Strange World (2022)

3.25/5 Reviewed November 27, 2022 Disney’s latest animated feature is the tale of a family of adventurers who set out to save the world they know, discovering an entirely new and very strange world below their own. It’s…ok? There are a ton of right-wing people bashing it for having a main character that’s gay, butContinue reading “Movie Review: Strange World (2022)”

Movie Review: Glass Onion (2022)

3.75/5 Reviewed November 26, 2022 The highly-anticipated sequel to the breakout hit Knives Out, this one sees Benoit Blanc invited to the private island retreat of a billionaire, where he and the guests will be tasked with solving the mystery of the billionaire’s death. It’s got plenty of similarities, but overall feels like a muchContinue reading “Movie Review: Glass Onion (2022)”

Movie Review: Tower Heist (2011)

2.75/5 Reviewed November 21, 2022 Heist comedy about a group of luxury condo workers planning to rob the apartment of the rich wall street trader that defrauded them. It’s…OK. Ensemble cast featuring Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Téa Leoni, and others, and it tries to go hard on the comedyContinue reading “Movie Review: Tower Heist (2011)”

Movie Review: Sherlock, Jr (1924)

4.25/5 Buster Keaton short film about a projectionist trying to solve a mystery he’s been framed for a rival. It devolves into some incredible stunt and physical comedy sequences as he dreams his way into a movie. It’s…a bit hard to explain, but really, really cool, especially for a 1924 silent film. Keaton was knownContinue reading “Movie Review: Sherlock, Jr (1924)”

Movie Review: Legion (2010)

2.75/5 Reviewed November 13, 2022 Horror film where a group of people at a remote rest stop team up with the angel Michael to protect a pregnant woman whose baby may prevent the apocalypse. It certainly has some cool moments, but otherwise is pretty much like a formulaic zombie film, without the zombies. Paul BettanyContinue reading “Movie Review: Legion (2010)”

Movie Review: Murder at 1600 (1997)

3.5/5 Reviewed November 12, 2022 Wesley Snipes action thriller about a woman murdered at the White House, and one detective’s dogged pursuit of the truth. Tons of twists and turns, some decent drama, and a fun premise for one of these kinds of films; sadly, it was a box office bomb. Snipes is the aforementionedContinue reading “Movie Review: Murder at 1600 (1997)”

Movie Review: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

4.5/5 Reviewed November 12, 2022 The sequel to the groundbreaking Black Panther is a heartfelt tribute to Chadwick Boseman as well as your standard MCU action romp with tons of moving pieces and future project setups. It introduces a few new characters, most notably Namor (played brilliantly by Tenoch Huerta) and Ironheart (Dominique Thorne), whileContinue reading “Movie Review: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)”

Movie Review: Ford v Ferrari (2019)

4.5/5 Reviewed November 11, 2022 The ultimate dad-style sports movie, this is the story of Ford and Carroll Shelby creating the GT40 and trying to break Ferrari’s dominance at the 24 hour Le Mans race in 1966. It’s trope-heavy, dramatized, full of moments that didn’t happen that way…and yet…it’s just a hell of a ride.Continue reading “Movie Review: Ford v Ferrari (2019)”

Movie Review: Enola Holmes 2 (2022)

3.5/5 Reviewed November 10, 2022 The sequel to the delightfully fun Enola Holmes sees Enola struggling to run her own detective agency before taking on the case of a missing young woman working at a match factory. It’s a bit darker tone than the first IMO, but continues the story quite well. Millie Bobby BrownContinue reading “Movie Review: Enola Holmes 2 (2022)”

Movie Review: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)

5/5 Reviewed November 4, 2022 This film is the peak of human civilization. Watching it cured all of my bodily ills. This movie is a parody biopic of Weird Al’s life, nearly entirely fictitious, that takes every well-known music biopic trope – such as drug use, alcohol, affairs, family issues, coming up with music –Continue reading “Movie Review: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)”
