Movie Review: Mean Girls (2024)

3.75/5 Reviewed January 30, 2024 The movie adaptation of the stage musical adaptation of the 2004 movie adaptation of a book. It’s good but doesn’t have the full heart of the 2004 version (I watched them back to back). Cady is a homeschooled girl who moves from Kenya to the US and attends school for

Movie Review: The Iron Claw (2023)

4.5/5 Reviewed January 17, 2024 Haunting biopic about the Von Erich wrestling family and the tragedies they endured in the 80s and 90s. A family of 6 brothers (only 5 shown, as they cut one out, actually LESSENING the tragedy) and their demanding father take over the wrestling scene in the old territory days as

Movie Review: Anyone But You (2023)

3.75/5 Reviewed January 17, 2024 I secretly enjoy some romantic comedies. This is one of them. It uses the tried and true method of adapting a Shakespeare play, in this case Much Ado About Nothing. Here, two strangers meet, have a wonderful day together, and due to a misunderstanding separate and begin to hate each

Movie Review: Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

3.25/5 Reviewed January 15, 2024 The direct sequel to “The Muppets” with Amy Adams and Jason Segel (but not having either one in it), this one sees the group fall in with a shady promoter and start a world tour, which is actually a cover for the world’s most dangerous frog to impersonate Kermit and

Movie Review: Dracula (1931)

3/5 Reviewed January 15, 2023 The film that kicked off horror as a true staple of Hollywood films, this 1931 adaptation of the Dracula story is not actually based on the book, but on a stage play of the book and is different in a lot of ways from Bram Stoker’s original novel (which is

Movie Review: The Beekeeper (2023)

2.75/5 Reviewed January 13, 2024 David Ayer project (the guy hasn’t made a good movie since 2014’s Fury) about a rural beekeeper in MA who turns out to be an elite John Wick level operative that springs to action after scammers cause his only friend to kill herself. It’s Jason Statham playing his usual character,

Movie Review: The Boys in the Boat (2023)

3.75/5 Reviewed January 6, 2024 True story about the University of Washington JV rowing team, who went from a group of broke and desperate guys to competing in the Olympics against Germany in 1936 Berlin. So it’s a sports drama based on real events – written in a book by the neighbor of one of

Movie Review: Face/Off (1997)

4/5 Reviewed January 4, 2024 Well that was a hell of a ride from director John Woo, easily the best of his I’ve seen. An FBI Agent (John Travolta) with a personal vendetta against a terrorist (Nic Cage) takes him down…but ends up having to swap faces with the him to stop another disaster from

Movie Review: Ferrari (2023)

2.5/5 Reviewed January 3, 2024 I was staggeringly underwhelmed by this biographical drama, which focuses on a small part of famed Italian carmaker Enzo Ferrari’s life, specifically 1957. Adam Driver plays Enzo in a flat, boring performance that just bores. The general gist is that the company and Enzo’s marriage are falling apart at the
