The advances made in artificial intelligence (AI) in our present have generated probably as many questions for its use as it has created workable solutions. As of this writing, the Writer’s Guild Strike of 2023 is coming to an end, with the SAG-AFTRA strike hopefully ending soon as well – strikes motivated by the encroaching […]

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie – Review

As the father of two children, I am somewhat familiar with Nickelodeon’s “PAW Patrol” series. Both my daughters have progressed past the age range intended for the series, but my youngest, Ari (who turns 11 a day or two after this goes live), asked to join me for a screening of the new film, PAW […]

No One Will Save You : Movie Review

September 22, 2023 / 0 Comments

Interesting. My last review (Nightsiren) was about a woman returning to her remote village where the citizens treat her with disdain. Similarly, Brian Duffield’s No One Will Save You also features a woman living in a town where the inhabitants don’t seem to care for her presence. At all. And like Nightsiren, the reasons are […]

Nightsiren : Movie Review

Where does the horror lie in Tereza Nvotová’s Nightsiren? Is it in the supposed curse that has followed Šarlota (Natalia Germani) from her childhood to the present day? Or is it embodied in the inhabitants of her secluded town to which she’s returned after a twenty-year absence? Is it the witch rumored to live in […]

A Haunting in Venice – Movie Review

The reason Sir Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot series succeeds is through his portrayal of a man obsessed with the corporeal and his belief in human nature and its folly; no room can be made in his world for the supernatural or the impossible. He is the essence of what writer Christopher McQuarrie describes in his […]

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 – Movie Review

September 7, 2023 / 0 Comments

Everything’s dark, bleak, and gritty these days. Superhero origin stories, James Bond films, even the color grading on streaming network shows and movies – everything has a sheen of gloom over it. This must be why My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 exists, as a counterpoint to the darkness and drudgery wrought by today’s media. […]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem – Movie Review

July 31, 2023 / 0 Comments
Posted in

As someone who lived through the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles surge of the late 1980s, three theatrically-released live-action films, numerous video games (at home and in the arcade), multiple animated iterations, and a series of Michael Bay-produced films, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is everything I could possibly have hoped it would be. Loose, […]

Haunted Mansion : Movie Review

Fans of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland or Disney World will be well-satisfied with this new cinematic iteration of the famed theme park staple brought to life. Haunted Mansion is a charmer, with easily-digestible and smooth characters and characterizations propelling us through this ride. The other side of it is that it’s entirely formulaic, its machinations […]

Talk to Me : Movie Review

July 27, 2023 / 0 Comments

There’s an unheralded classic horror movie somewhere in Talk to Me, although it doesn’t quite reach the heights it aspires to. It occasionally brushes against greatness through its performances and its nonstop dread, but it too often falls back on the “cursed object we shouldn’t play with” formula, complete with all the predictable pitfalls and […]

Oppenheimer : Movie Review

Acclaimed director Christopher Nolan has come so far from Following and Memento in every way possible as a filmmaker. He’s handled adaptations, a revered comic book superhero, and his own original material, not to mention having two riveting WWII-era movies under his belt. Most of his films carry the theme of putting ideas into someone […]
