3 out of 5 stars (average) The Saw franchise is one of Hollywood’s strangest phenmena. From 2004-2011, audiences went in droves to see what devious devices the Jigsaw Killer would drop upon morally dubious degenerates. Ignoring an attempted revamp/continuation with 2017’s Jigsaw, Chris Rock has entered the kill ring with Spiral: From the Book of… Continue Reading
Godzilla Vs Kong: A Monumental Monster Basher
3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) Note: If you have epilepsy and/or issues with prolonged loud noises, do not see Godzilla Vs Kong. Godzilla Vs Kong knows exactly what it is, what audiences want from it, and gives them just that. If you enjoyed the human focus in Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla:… Continue Reading
Zack Snyder’s Justice League: A Flawed, Fun Superhero Epic
3.5 out of 5 stars (Above Average) Zack Snyder’s Justice League is an extended cut of the largely unmemorable DC team-up film from 2017. Split into parts, this version restores director Zack Snyder’s original vision and ends the story in stirring fashion. Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a flawed but surprisingly enjoyable finale that should… Continue Reading

Premiering on Hulu in the US, the new suspense-thriller packs plenty of shocks into its briskly-paced… Continue Reading
Freaky: Forgettable Slasher Doesn’t Make The Cut
2 out of 5 stars (has some good moments, but is overall bad) I wanted to love Freaky. Released by Blumhouse Pictures and helmed by the director of the enormously fun Happy Death Day franchise, it’s being pitched as a slasher film mixed with a wacky body-swap comedy a la Freaky Friday (likely the origin… Continue Reading
Tenet: Good Acting Can’t Save Nonsensical Thriller
2.5 out of 5 stars (decent) There’s a lot riding on the success of Tenet. After multiple pushbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic and writer-director Christopher Nolan’s insistence that it be seen in theaters, many were proclaiming Tenet would bring everyone back to the movies again. I’m sad to say that not only does Tenet… Continue Reading
