movie reviews

The list of terrible remakes is endless, so let’s focus on the positive, on the seven greatest horror remakes of all time… 

If you thought the previous decade sucked, wait till you get a load of this one. There are usually a few pretty great titles every year, but the number of worthwhile movies just hits the skids.

The millennium started out well enough with Gladiator, but with a few exceptions, it was all downhill from there.

In part seven of this series we look at the movies that should have won the Best Picture Oscar between 1980 and 1989.

In part five of this series we look at the movies that should have won the Best Picture Oscar between 1960 and 1969.

Here are the movies that should have won the Best Picture Oscar between 1950 and 1959.

We’re all looking to escape the Woke Gestapo’s idea of “entertainment” in any way we can. Here are some movie suggestions.

Your only hope is that there is something to your death dream, that your father has built a fire and really is somewhere out there waiting for you.

Dark Phoenix has forever ended the argument over which X-Men sucks the hardest.  

Unplanned’s success is yet more proof that the fascist establishment no longer has the ability to control the flow of information or shape public opinion.

Soldado’s heart is in the right place. This is, without question, a two-hour commercial for Trump’s border wall. As with Sicario, we are watching a Hollywood product with the moral courage to tell the truth about just how deadly our southern border is,

About 40-minutes into Ocean’s 8, after it struck me that the movie was nowhere near as much fun as heist movies are supposed to be, my attention wandered towards ideas that might have made the experience a bit more lively. And because I’m a child, an image popped into my head…

Alden Ehrenreich has been given the unenviable task of stepping into the shoes of Harrison Ford, and please forgive my manners as I make an issue of the fact that Ehrenreich is noticeably too short, way too short to step in the shoes of anyone who is not a member of the Lollipop Guild.

A whole lot of superheroes added up to a whole lot of ticket sales. The superhero smorgasbord “Avengers: Infinity Wars” opened with predictable shock-and-awe, earning $250 million in box office over the weekend and edging past “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” to set the highest opening weekend of all-time.

Marvel has certainly delivered better movies than Infinity War. What is more real this time, though, are the stakes. People die. Knowing this is Marvel, we cannot be sure if they die-die.  Nevertheless, Infinity War leaves you in a dark and anxious place. It is going to be a long year.

So how bad is I Feel Pretty? Not having seen it (yeah, right — you first), I can only put the following pieces of information together and assume it is freakin’ hideous, because  1) when a left-wing sacred cow like Schumer gets 2) terrible reviews, the movie’s 3)  gotta suck so hard.

Spielberg’s only achievement is making a sci-fi movie dumber than Elysium, but that Matt Damon dud at least offered some real stakes and decent world building. Ready Player One is a morally bankrupt pile of CGI.

Those critics who bothered, or who were given an opportunity to review the latest faith-based movie Paul, Apostle of Christ, dumped all over it at a 75 percent rate; the audience score, however, is a healthy 93 percent approval, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

My favorite flick of the 1990s is Oliver Stone’s JFK, so it is not as though the movie fan in me cares all that much about being told the truth. In the case of director Doug Liman’s American Made, though, the truth might have been a whole lot more interesting.

For those of us who like our James Bonds spicy not sullen, for those of us who sometimes desire a couple hours in the dark so we can eat crap and forget about everything else, let us now join hands and thank the movie gods for Matthew Vaughn.

Director and writer M. Night Shyamalan’s 11th film is possibly his best work since 2004’s The Village. In The Visit, Shyamalan blends classic horror and comedy together to make a film ideal for a fall season release and to show he still has what it takes to be a fine filmmaker in the horror and suspense genres.

It’s been five years since we were first introduced to super villain Gru (Steve Carell), the lovely three girls he adopted, and his adorable yellow Minions who can only speak in Minion talk, yet have assisted Gru in stealing the moon and capturing other villains for the Anti-Villain League. But how did these little yellow guys come to find Gru, and what was their life like before they met him? Minions is a sweet prequel highlighting these little yellow supporting characters of the Despicable Me films and their journey in finding their new villain mastermind.

When one of HBO’s most beloved TV shows came to an end in September 2011, the fans longed for a film to extend the story of the four guys from Queens, especially after that end credits scene in the finale.

Two things are certain after watching Pitch Perfect 2, the sequel to the 2012 surprise cult classic Pitch Perfect: 1) It’s not as smart or as good as the first and 2) Rebel Wilson is a fantastic comedic actress that makes any movie better.

If you could live forever, what would you do? How would you have a family? Would you live your life in secret, changing homes and aliases every decade? Or would you try to live a normal life? That is exactly what Adaline Bowman must decide in The Age of Adaline.

Based on the book of the same name written by Michael Finkel,True Story is a film about consequences, relationships, journalism and betrayal.

Furious 7 has been one of the most anticipated films of 2015. With the Fast & Furious franchise earning over $2.3 billion worldwide at the box office since the original film was released in 2001, the franchise has proven to grow even stronger and gain even more fans in these last few years.

First-time feature filmmaker Dean Israelite pairs found-footage with time travel and what we get is a story about a lot of dumb teenagers that’s not completely original in its first half but does pick up the pace in the last 30 minutes or so.

A story about tremendous loss, heartbreak, addiction, forgiveness, and recovery, Cake is a beautiful and inspiring film driven by a note-worthy performance by Jennifer Aniston.
