Movie Review: The Suicide Squad (2021)

4.25/5 Reviewed August 7, 2021 The not actually a sequel, not actually a reboot to the 2016 disaster of a film, this one has a few returning favorites and a whole slew of new B-list villains on a mission to destroy an evil government project. It’s certainly a treat. Written and directed by James Gunn

Movie Review: Jungle Cruise (2021)

3.25/5 Reviewed July 29, 2021 Disney took a shot on making another film based on one of their rides, this time an adventure about a jungle cruise to find a magical plant mcguffin, starring the Rock and Emily Blunt. It’s passable fun, entertaining at the very least but incredibly shallow and pretty forgettable. Good summer

Movie Review: Black Widow (2021)

4.25/5 Reviewed July 11, 2021 Disney finally makes the solo Black Widow movie people were asking for (the reason it took so long is actually related to the former head of the studio, who was apparently a reclusive sexist turd that didn’t want women or minority led movies). It’s quite good, with a Bourne feel

Movie Review: Cruella (2021)

4.5/5 Reviewed July 1, 2021 Disney’s been making live-action films of origin stories for some of their most devious villains (see Maleficent series). Cruella is in that strain, and dang does it deliver. If you’re a fan of, say, Wicked, this is absolutely in the same vein and is to be thoroughly enjoyed, although I

Movie Review: F9: The Fast Saga (2021)

3.25/5 Reviewed June 27, 2021 The 10th film in the franchise due to a spinoff, Fast 9 features all your favorite characters coming together to fight off John Cena and friends as they go after a super mcguffin. Look, the plot is not why you see this franchise this far in. There’s explosions, incredible car

Movie Review: The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard (2021)

Reviewed June 19, 2021 Sequel to the fantastic Hitman’s Bodyguard, this one sees the Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson picking up their insane characters again, joined by a much larger role for Salma Hayek as well. The plot is…pretty bad, honestly, compared to the original, and the film is significantly weaker in a number of

Movie Review: Wrath of Man (2021)

Reviewed June 3, 2021 Guy Ritchie directed action thriller starring Jason Statham as a “clearly has a dark secret” security guard at an armored car company who gains the spotlight after single-handedly taking out an entire gang trying to rob his truck. Things escalate from there and it gets really dark and gritty. Absolutely phenomenal

Movie Review: Mortal Kombat (2021)

2.25/5 Reviewed April 27, 2021 The reboot of the campy 90s films based on the long-running brutal fighting franchise, this one follows an original character, Cole Young, as he’s sucked into the world and characters of Mortal Kombat. It’s…hard to describe for me. The word I’m using right now is underwhelming. I’m a huge fan

Movie Review: Nobody (2021)

Reviewed April 17, 2021 This was my first movie in a theater since Onward, at the start of the Pandemic. Bob Odenkirk, one of the stars of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, plays a mundane family man that gets thrust into violent confrontation after some people rob his home. It goes from a bit

Movie Review: Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)

3.75/5 Reviewed April 6, 2021 Throw the 2017 version in the trash, this is so much better than the Frankenstein’s monster of a film we got thanks to Joss Whedon. At four hours and two minutes, it’s certainly an event. In my opinion, this really should have been split up into multiple movies. The lore
