Film Review - The Pope’s Exorcist
While The Pope's Exorcist won't be everyone's cup of tea, for horror fans willing to drop their guard a little bit and embrace a film that's more silly than scary, it's just good, dumb fun.
Film Review - Missing
As the feature debut from directors Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick - the editors of Searching, the film goes to town on inventive editing techniques and uses all the comforts of technology that we take for granted, twisting them into complete discomfort for a layer of tension that stays through almost the whole film.
Film Review - Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile
What are you expecting from a Sony rendition of a decades old kid’s cartoon strip about a singing crocodile, adapted for the big screens for 2022 with Shawn Mendes taking the lead as the titular Lyle, the crocodile?
Film Review - The Woman King
The real achievement of this ripping action flick, bless its existence, is its characters and themes: there’s a full meal here, and all of it is delicious.
Film Review - Bullet Train
Looking at the poster for Bullet Train is a testament to the sheer amount of content and attention to detail that you’re going to find when you sit down for this one, which you should do at your earliest convenience.
Film Review - Where the Crawdads Sing
Where the Crawdads Sing is a unique take on the who-dunnit genre, and though it lacks the punch of a satisfying conclusion, it still leaves a lasting impression.
Film Review: Morbius
The new trend is “villain” films, and like most of its contemporaries, Morbius can’t commit to that promise, nor does it really commit to much else.
Film Review: Uncharted
The latest gaming entry in the Uncharted franchise is six years old, the movie itself having been caught in development hell since 2008. The finished product is another addition to the library of OK movies based on better games.
