‘No Exit’ Above Average Thriller

A movie like No Exit recently released on Hulu is your standard thriller about a group of people stuck in a particular place with fear that something isn’t quite right.

‘Copshop’ Sells The Best Of Tarantino Wannabe Merchandise

Copshop stars Gerard Butler and Frank Grillo as two criminals facing off against each other and other killers and cops in a movie that seems all to familiar to anyone who remembers the endless crime action thrillers that came out after Quentin Tarantino became a household name more than 25 years ago.

‘Falling Down’ Is About A Powder Keg That Erupts Before Our Eyes

One of the biggest misunderstood movies of the past few decades is Falling Down, released on Feb. 26, 1993. On the surface, this movie seems to be about a simple man, Bill Foster (Michael Douglas) who gets enough of people’s intimidation and pushes back. Except that’s not what the movie is really about. It’s aboutContinue reading “‘Falling Down’ Is About A Powder Keg That Erupts Before Our Eyes”

‘One False Move’ Was Bill Paxton’s Best Moment

Mention Bill Paxton and most people will think of his role in Aliens in which he was the outrageous Marine Private Hudson. His roles throughout the 1980s had him playing goofy or obnoxious characters in Weird Science and Predator 2. And that’s the way he was heading going into the 1990s until he was castContinue reading “‘One False Move’ Was Bill Paxton’s Best Moment”

‘The Green Knight’ Is A Royal Mess

The Green Knight is an awful movie. I’m not going to be easy. It’s distributed by A24, which should tell you before the credits roll what you’re in for. And I must admit, for a while, it did seem like it was going to be a nice Game of Thrones meets Excalibur type of movieContinue reading “‘The Green Knight’ Is A Royal Mess”

‘Marry Me’ Is A Nice RomCom Gem

Going into Marry Me, a nice throwback to the romcoms that Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson would’ve appeared in 15-20 years ago, you know what to expect. But sometimes, the element of surprise or freshness is not as good as the way it’s delivered. You don’t go to see a Shakespeare play to see HamletContinue reading “‘Marry Me’ Is A Nice RomCom Gem”

I Watched 10 Hours of ‘Inventing Anna’ So You Don’t Have To

Inventing Anna might have been a good little limited series if it wasn’t so outrageously bloated for about 10 hours of repetition and redundancy. As a matter of fact, I’m not really sure who is the central character of this based on a true story Netflix series. We’re led to believe it’s Anna Sorokin (JuliaContinue reading “I Watched 10 Hours of ‘Inventing Anna’ So You Don’t Have To”

‘Peacemaker’ One Big Middle Finger To MCU

Without a doubt, Peacemaker, which just concluded its first season on HBO, was a shot in the dark concept. James Gunn, who had been tapped by Warner Brothers to direct The Suicide Squad said that he wrote the Peacemaker series while stuck in lockdown from Covid-19 pandemic just to get his mind off things. WarnerContinue reading “‘Peacemaker’ One Big Middle Finger To MCU”

‘Tinder Swindler’ Exposes Predators On The Prowl

People tuning in to the Netflix true-crime documentary The Tinder Swindler will probably think how someone will be so easily duped. Easy. In the animal kingdom, predators don’t go after the toughest one of the pack. You don’t pick fights you know you’re going to lose. Simon Leviev, the center of the documentary and theContinue reading “‘Tinder Swindler’ Exposes Predators On The Prowl”
