Back in Action had become more famous for the behind the scenes real-life drama that probably had the rest of the cast and crew worried if it could be finished at all. Jamie Foxx had been hospitalized in April 2023 while working on the movie in Atlanta. His family and close friends did a greatContinue reading “‘Back In Action’ Lacking In Much Action And Originality”

‘Carry-On’ Is One Good ‘Die Hard/Mission: Impossible’ Imitator
Carry-On might be the best Die Hard or Mission: Impossible Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise never made. Set mostly in the vast terminal that is Los Angeles International Airport, it feels more suited for streaming than it does for the big screen. This is one of those movies that uses tension rather than wham-bam action,Continue reading “‘Carry-On’ Is One Good ‘Die Hard/Mission: Impossible’ Imitator”
‘Hot Frosty’ Dunks Holiday RomComs In Subtle Silly Satire
Hot Frosty is one of those movies where you can’t fathom if it’s intended to be taken seriously or meant as a parody of the Hallmark Christmas holiday movie genre.

The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World
Maybe if the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight had occurred over the summer like it was originally scheduled, it might have seem more thrilling. But I felt like it was a dud. Also, coming as it does about 10 days after the election of Donald Trump, it seems to be really anti-climatic. There seems to beContinue reading “The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World”

It’s the type of movie that could’ve benefitted from another set of eyes on it in post-production. Jeremy Saulnier is credited as the writer and director…as well as the editor. And at 131 minutes,Continue reading “‘Rebel Ridge’ Good But Falls Short Of Spectacular Action Thriller”
