movie review - Page 2

Road horror takes place on the road, with our protagonists always on the move. Here are nine of my favorite movies that meet that criterion.

Director David Gordon Green plays bait-and-switch with Halloween Ends. Instead of delivering what was promised, an obsessed and intense Laurie Strode hunting down Michael Myers, we’re served a dull character piece focused on some guy named Corey.  

Writer and director Andrew Dominik’s Blonde is an ambitious failure.

The Daily Beast — a far-left propaganda site that doxes private citizens and spreads conspiracy theories — and its unnatural obsession with “My Son Hunter” continued this week with yet another lengthy screed.

Wolfgang Petersen, the German director who died this week at age 81, is a good example of not knowing how good you have it until it’s gone.

The people who brought us John Wick and Nobody have just delivered Day Shift to Netflix—another flat-out crowd pleaser.

They/Them, a gay empowerment/anti-conversion therapy horror film, was supposed to help put the Peacock streaming network on the map.

Jordan Peele continues to prove himself as a real-deal filmmaker. His third feature, “Nope,” is another highly-original crowd-pleaser.

Netflix’s $200 million “Gray Man” is the Muzak of action films: pure background noise as you catch up on emails.

Co-writer and director Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder waits until the last half hour to show its woke cards, which is okay. You can’t ruin an already bad movie.

Three weekends after its release, “Top Gun: Maverick” — a woke-free, patriotic ode to excellence, masculinity, the racial melting pot, and smug-free blockbuster entertainment — continues to over-perform.

Had “Star Wars” gone the “Top Gun: Maverick” route, the greatest film franchise in history wouldn’t have been demoted to a TV show. 

In an interview with the far-left Daily Beast, director David Cronenberg blamed political correctness for the lack of sex scenes in modern movies.

With “The Northman,” director and co-writer Robert Eggers delivers might best be described as “Death Wish with Vikings.”

The one true pleasure of Everything Everywhere All at Once is not only watching the great Michelle Yeoh on the big screen.

Michael Bay’s “Ambulance” is 129 minutes long and never stops to take a breath. The movie has its moments, but also countless plot holes and a pace that leaves you exhausted rather than exhilarated.

The Lost City, a romantic-adventure-comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, is a good, old-fashioned charmer that’s all too rare these days.

Netflix’s new six-part documentary, “The Diaries of Andy Warhol,” is a grotesque thing that reduces a complex genius to his sex organs. 

Here are my five favorite William Hurt movies in date order…

The Batman is competently made, no question, and out of its 176 minutes, there is a terrific five-minute car chase. But other than Zoë Kravitz in her underwear, that was the only time THE Batman felt like a good use of my time.

Overall, this entry is more than worth your time. The social commentary is courageous, dead-on, and refreshing. The kills are hilariously over the top.

Director Ruben Fleischer’s film adaption of the popular Uncharted videogame starts atrociously before finally winning you over.

How did we move so quickly from the Golden Age of Television to being awash in an ocean of mediocrity and garbage?

Watching Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster epic “Moonfall” is like entering an alternate universe where Jerry Falwell Sr. and the Moral Majority won the culture wars.

In part two of this series, here are seven underrated movies you might have missed…

All the men in the movie are either villains or quiche-eating, stay-at-home cucks who take care of the kids, cook, and wait diligently for the little women to come home after a hard day of saving the world.

“Scream” (2022) is a tired and unimaginative “prequel,” or a sequel/reboot/remake of the original Scream (1996). Unfortunately, the scariest thing about it is what Courtney Cox has done to her face.  

Co-writer, director Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up” will accidentally please establishment-hating Trump fans.

“Kingsman” fans have been sold out and betrayed by a first-rate director, a third-rate script, and a flurry of politically correct sucker punches.  

The franchise does not recover with “Matrix Resurrections,” which is still in nerd mode, still confusing and almost always tedious.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is about to make fools out of every fake entertainment “journalist” who’s blamed all these woketard flops on the China Flu pandemic.

Sandra Bullock’s latest Netflix entry is pure melodrama, a total women’s picture, and as overwrought as its title — The Unforgivable…

When left-wing critics slam Don’t Look Up, a piece of Global Warming propaganda starring Leonardo DiCaprio, you know it must really stink.  

Rarely does a movie sequel turn out better than the original film that spawned it. Here are five of the best movies that pulled off this feat.

Everything about ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales,’ Clint Eastwood’s 1976 Western masterpiece, would offend today’s Woke Hitler Youth.

In a performance likely to win him a Best Actor Oscar, Will Smith plays Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams.
