A movie like The Killer’s Game seems too be like someone took elements of movies like John Woo’s The Killer, the John Wick movies, and Boss Level and decided to make your standard one-hour and 45-minute action comedy. It’s one of those movies that seems to exist in a world where hired hitmen get paidContinue reading “‘Killer’s Game’ Is A Cheat”

‘The Apprentice’ Is A Wall Street Version Of Frankenstein
With a lot of biopics, you have to take them with a grain of salt. Characters and events are often changed or created for the purpose of a good storyline that can be squeezed into two hours of a movie. The Apprentice is an appropriate title for a movie like this as it examines DonaldContinue reading “‘The Apprentice’ Is A Wall Street Version Of Frankenstein”
‘Monty Python And The Holy Grail’ Celebrates Golden Anniversary At 50
In the two years and three months since Monty Python and the Holy Grail was released in America and the time Elvis Presley died, The King loved the movie so much he reportedly would watch it dozens of time. And people in his inner circle say Presley would walk around Graceland and on tour recitingContinue reading “‘Monty Python And The Holy Grail’ Celebrates Golden Anniversary At 50”

‘Flight Risk’ Crashes After Take-Off
The big twist in Flight Risk is that Mark Wahlberg is a balding bad guy pretending to be a regular joe pilot. Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort since Hacksaw Ridge is smaller on scale. Every now and again, a filmmaker does a movie like this. I’ve always thought big-name directors sometimes work better with smaller-scaleContinue reading “‘Flight Risk’ Crashes After Take-Off”
‘Greedy People’ Suffers From Its Own Abundance Of Arrogance
A movie like Greedy People is a few script revisions away from being a great black comedy thriller. It’s the type of movie Quentin Tarantino or The Coen Brothers would’ve written and then stuck in a drawer because they couldn’t give it the panache to make at least a few characters likeable. I’m reminded ofContinue reading “‘Greedy People’ Suffers From Its Own Abundance Of Arrogance”
‘Capricorn One’ A Thrill Ride For Conspiracy Theorists
Did we really go to the Moon? That has been the question since 1969 as skeptics believe that NASA used the same set that Stanley Kubrick used for 2001: A Space Odyssey. This was also enhanced by skeptics believing the Apollo 13 mission disaster was faked to keep public interest in the space program. AndContinue reading “‘Capricorn One’ A Thrill Ride For Conspiracy Theorists”

‘Wolf Man’ Lacks Much Bite
It’s been over 20 years since a filmmaker did anything remotely original with the whole werewolf genre with Dog Soldiers. Since then, we’ve been subjected to the Twilight series and whatever the hell The Wolf of Snow Hollow was supposed to be. Don’t be fooled by the reviews on that latter one, you’ll be rootingContinue reading “‘Wolf Man’ Lacks Much Bite”
