Category: MOVIE REVIEWS

Ready Player One, 2018

This review may contain spoilers. Weak story and characters but the non-stop pop culture barrage was mostly fun (The Shining, Buckaroo Banzai, Chucky). I’m kind of glad there were no Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm characters, we get enough of them everywhere else.

The Titan, 2018

I was on board with movie until it hit a point near the end and it got ridiculous. It became so overly dramatic that it became silly.

Mohawk, 2017

A little slow in the beginning but finds its stride by the middle. Geoghegan is 2 for 2 in my book. I can’t wait for his next movie.

Johnny Mnemonic, 1995

Peak dude-bro Keanu. This movie is so cheap looking and incoherent plot wise. Kind of interesting if you look at this movie as a first draft of The Matrix tho.

1922, 2017

A very slow and plodding retelling of The Tell-Tale Heart.

Annihilation, 2018

I really liked the body horror elements. I don’t feel like they explained what was going on clearly enough. I do give the movie props for going full-on hard sci-fi.

78/52, 2017

A fascinating look into the nitty-gritty details of how Hitchcock worked and the one scene that changed movies forever.

Mute, 2018

I really was ready to like this but I had to force myself to keep watching until the end.

Call Me by Your Name, 2017

A beautifully made movie. After this and The Shape of Water, Michael Stuhlbarg is becoming one of my new favorite actors.

Wind River, 2017

A well crafted mystery with good performances all around.

The Ritual, 2017

A better Blair Witch sequel than the one that came out in 2016. One of the creepiest creature designs in a long, long time.

Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD, 2014

I never read these comics before so this was a pretty informative documentary. I was surprised how many talented writers and artists came out of this one comic series.

Justice League, 2017

A real rush job from start to finish. Barely anything had time to sink in before running off to the next scene. On a positive note, it was nice to finally see Cavill having some fun playing Superman after 2 movies of doom and gloom.

The Cloverfield Paradox, 2018

If you take out the Cloverfield universe connections all you are left with is a run of the mill sci-fi movie. Star Trek: Discovery is handling multiverses so much better right now.
