Movie Review: Boy Kills World (2024)

4.25/5 Reviewed April 28, 2024 I have a soft spot for manic ultraviolent films with creative wackiness. This is one of those. Bill Skarsgård plays “Boy”, a kid whose family is brutally killed by the rulers of a decaying metro in a Hunger Games style event. He is trained by a wiry shaman to become

Movie Review: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)

4.5/5 Reviewed April 25, 2024 It’s a Guy Ritchie spy thriller with Tarantino action of “Inglorious Basterds but if it was the trailer and not what we actually got” levels. So I loved it. Great cast, led by Henry Cavill, Cary Elwes, Alan Ritchson, and Eiza Gonzalez as British spies sailing to a remote neutral

Movie Review: Monkey Man (2024)

3.75/5 Reviewed April 23, 2024 It’s being touted as the “Indian John Wick”, but it’s not. It’s more like the Punisher with visual styles and some fight sequences akin to John Wick, but a story riiiiight out of the 2004 Punisher film (among so many other revenge flicks). Dev Patel wrote, directs, and stars in

Movie Review: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)

3.75/5 Reviewed April 19, 2024 This is the first movie ever directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and it’s a great one. It’s an original story set in the famous Lupin III franchise, and was my first time with the character and his friends. It’s basically an animated comedy/action/adventure flick where master thief Lupin and friends decide

Movie Review: And Then There Were None (1945)

4/5 Reviewed April 14, 2024 The most famous adaptation of Agatha Christie’s story Ten Little Indians, it’s a mystery where ten unrelated guests are brought to a remote island for a weekend getaway, only to discover a recording alleging that they’re all murderers, along with copies of the nursery rhyme Ten Little Indians. The rhyme

Movie Review: Hotel Transylvania 3 (2018)

3.5/5 Reviewed April 14, 2024 I’m shocked at how entertaining this movie was, given it’s the third in a series by Adam Sandler that’s family-friendly comedy. Drac and the entire monster gang are back, this time taking a vacation from the hotel by…going on a cruise, aka a floating hotel. The cruise is catered to

Movie Review: Knock Off (1998)

2.25/5 Reviewed April 12, 2024 Late 90s Jean-Claude Van Damme stuff can be pretty brutal, and this is one example. His character (name isn’t important, he’s JCVD) is a king of knock-off merch in Hong Kong who’s tried to go legit by partnering with goofy pal Rob Schneider (who was still in action movies around
