Action/Adventure

It might sound ridiculous to some, but so be it: VFW was one of my most anticipated films of the year. It started with the premise: a siege-style thriller with a group of aging veterans…

I wasn’t planning on seeing The Call of the Wild (2020) this year. Harrison Ford seemed out of place and the CG dog seemed like an abomination. Plus, I’d seen behind-the-scenes shots of Harrison Ford petting a…

Capitalizing off the CGI technology available to it during this age of digital filmmaking, Jeff Fowler’s Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) could have been a dream come true for younger fans of Sega as well as…

When I saw Disturbing the Peace on a list of upcoming movies, I thought it was going to be an adaptation of Richard Yates’ titular novel. The ending of the novel was particularly haunting. I always…

Guy Ritchie has had quite an interesting career. Making a name for himself in the late 90s and early 00s with the critical and financial success of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, movie-goers were…

Bad Boys 2 may be the best bad movie ever made. Not in the same sense as ironic classics The Room and Plan 9 from Outer Space, which offer nothing but laughs at pure incompetence and…

We should bar every critic from calling 1917 a “cinematic achievement”, a “technical achievement”, or any derivation of the two. It’s an overused phrase in film discourse as it is, but 1917 has only made…

I had no intention of seeing Charlie’s Angels. I’ve never seen a full episode of the original TV show nor have I seen any of the movies. It’s not the type of movie that appeals to me.…

Here’s the premise: a psychotic hitman goes on an ultra-violent odyssey to avenge his brother’s death. Does this sound intriguing to you? Not really? Well, that’s because I forgot to mention that this hitman is…

John Rambo has been a prime example of the muscle-bound eighties action hero for many years, even though the roots of the character were literary and his first on-screen outing had none of the typical…

Walking out of the theater in 2013, after watching Olympus Has Fallen, I couldn’t imagine thinking about that movie again. Or that I’d be sitting in a theater six years later for the third installment…

In Hobbs and Shaw, Big man and British man make big car go boom. The following review will be spoiler free. Synopsis Directed By: David Leitch Written By: Chris Morgan and Drew Pierce Starring: Dwayne ‘The…

I had a rollercoaster of emotions after watching Godzilla: King of the Monsters. As a huge Godzilla fan dating back to my childhood, I was extremely giddy and pumped that I was able to experience…

Aladdin is one of the better Disney live-action reboots. However, that isn’t saying much. Still, the film works fairly well. While it isn’t the masterpiece that it’s rebooted from, it is a very entertaining family…

We live in an entertainment climate full of polarity; for the most part, massive blockbusters with budgets over $100 million and tiny indies or genre films under $10 million are the most profitable — not…

I have a confession to make — I’m a closet Pokémon fan. I was obsessed with it after its 90’s debut. And while time and maturity has tempered that, that love never fully vanished. So…

Last week I reviewed Dragged Across Concrete, which co-starred Michael Jai White. Coincidentally, Triple Threat also co-stars Michael Jai White — he’s a lot nicer in DAC. Both films are also exceptionally violent. The similarities…

Every now and then, a film comes along whose title seems to make no sense whatsoever. It doesn’t fit the plot, the characters, and seems to have been pulled out of thin air. Then there…

10 years after the release of Taken, anytime you see Liam Neeson on a poster with a killer’s stare and the word ‘revenge’ in the tagline, you know what you’re in for: an over-the-top action…

The Transformers Franchise is one of Hollywood’s worst. For over a decade we have been subject to Michael Bay’s exploding and shooting versions of these famous robots. When Bumblebee was announced, I was hesitant. The…
