Before we get into the review, my apologies to the AMC employee that had to mop up the pool of nerd sweat I secreted. There was too much cinematic goodness to behold. Spider-Man: No Way Home is the best entry to date. It is the culmination of storytelling for the wise cracking web-slinger going back nearly 20 years. Underage viewers won’t appreciate the nostalgia this … Continue reading Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Review
I saw the trailer for this film over a year ago. It showed such promise as a parody of video game culture. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds as an NPC (non-playable character) that becomes self-aware. It’s one of the most original ideas I’ve seen in a while. Sadly, it turned out to be a convoluted mess with no real message. At one point, I found … Continue reading Free Guy (2021) Review
I have to say this is one of the worst vampire movies I’ve ever seen. I know it came out in the late 90s but damn. The protagonists were one-dimensional middle-aged men with no clear motivation. Sure, evil bloodsuckers are bad but you have to have a reason to hunt them. I’m certainly not putting my neck on the line for a big payday. Jack … Continue reading Vampires (1998) Review
Any film centered around Vietnam is bound to have a horrible backstory attached. Dead Presidents is no different. It may not be considered a scary movie but it’s a not-too-distant cousin. The story is about a veteran struggling to provide for his family. Anthony (Larenz Tate) delivered a captivating performance in this cult classic. Its one hell of a crime drama and an even better … Continue reading Dead Presidents (1995) Review
My expectations were low for this movie. I’m a Chris Pratt fan and watched it off his star power alone. I saw no trailers and went in blind. After viewing it this Fourth of July weekend, I can say The Tomorrow War is worth seeing. It is a pleasant surprise with heart, humor, and a great special effects budget. Seriously, the monsters are a fucking … Continue reading The Tomorrow War (2021) Review
For the past four years, Castlevania has inspired me. The animation in the show is of the highest caliber. Even when my eyes were tired, I couldn’t turn off the TV. That is how spectacular the storytelling is. It has no equal or rival to compare, its simply in a class of its own. The voice talent really brought these characters to life with their … Continue reading Castlevania Season 4 (2021) Review
My best friend recommended I watch this show. After the finale last night, I was highly upset with him. The Promised Neverland is good as grandma’s cooking. The story revolves around orphaned children raised to be “adopted” once they reach a certain age. It is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Emma, Norman, and Ray are the main protagonists in this epic tale of … Continue reading The Promised Neverland (2019) Review
We’re keeping with the demonic possession theme. This time we’re exploring a Marvel property in the mature Hulu universe. Helstrom is rated R and all about that violence. It’s a breath of fresh air to see the more occult characters. Daimon and Ana Helstrom are siblings and the offspring of an extremely powerful entity. One that has the human and demon world shooketh. These two … Continue reading Helstrom (2020) Review
What the hell did I watch? The trailer sold me one thing and I got a bag of flaming poop. Archenemy is a movie about a homeless man, Max Fist (Joe Manganiello), that claims to be a god-like being from another world. He says he is so powerful; he could punch a hole in reality. As a viewer, I thought I’d get to see him … Continue reading Archenemy (2020) Review
Zack Snyder is at it again! He’s left the world of men in tights for an Army of The Dead and it is glorious. When it comes to zombies, there’s not much you can do that people haven’t seen. Yet somehow, he managed to create a world where the undead horde possess a bit more nuance. A lot of thought was put into each frame … Continue reading Army of The Dead (2021) Review
