2023 Reviews – Peter Pan & Wendy
Oh, Disney and their live-action remakes. I’ve been at odds with the general critic consensus that say these remakes offer nothing new, or that they change details superficially, or that they screw around with important minor details that ruin the … Continued
2023 Reviews – Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Alright, so I’ve heard this movie is nothing short of amazing. I love the original Shrek, but I’ve struggled to get into the resulting sequels, where this Puss in Boots was originally conjured. He’s a bit of a nothing character … Continued
2023 Reviews – They Cloned Tyrone
Oh snap, They Cloned Tyrone! There’s something fishy going on around here, when cowardly pimp, Slick Charles (Jamie Foxx), witnesses grumpy drug slinger, Fontaine (John Boyega), get shot and killed in a parking lot outside, only to come back to … Continued
2023 Reviews – Oppenheimer

2023 Reviews – Knock at the Cabin
I was disappointed I couldn’t see Knock at the Cabin in theatres, but then, remember how Old looked great and then sucked harder than a vacuum with a lollipop? M. Night Shyamalan has got to be the most sporadic of … Continued
2023 Reviews – Shazam! Fury of the Gods

2023 Reviews – Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical

2023 Reviews – A Good Person
A new film directed by Zach Braff – okay. A new film where Zach Braff directs his then-girlfriend, and fledgling superstar, Florence Pugh – hell, yeah! Allison (Florence Pugh) is addicted to oxycontin. Her whole life fell apart when she … Continued
