When Walt Disney created Disney+, they were not playing because they not only began with an initial investment somewhere in the ballpark of a billion dollars, but they’re projected to increase that to $14-16 billion over the next few years. What they also did was pull their content from everywhere else, including Netflix, which means […]
To be honest the only reason I rented Girl (2020) was because it turned up on iTunes for 99 cents (though the actress on the poster – Bella Thorne – with a hatchet certainly didn’t hurt it’s chances). I’m not entirely sure what I expected from the movie though being unfamiliar with Thorne – I’m […]
“Neil Armstrong, Eat Your Heart Out” is interesting because – compared to the three earlier episodes of Amazon’s Invincible – it’s the weakest yet. And keep in mind: This series releases a new episode each week. There’s no excuse I can find for the animation to take such a nose dive though I have a […]
If you’ve never seen a martial arts movie – or anything starring either Arnold Schwarzenegger or Danny Glover – Jiu Jitsu might blow your mind. If you have – and that likely includes most of us – you’re assured to be unimpressed because Jiu Jitsu is too derivative of much better movies like Predator (1987), […]
Earlier this week a trailer was released for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, the sequel/soft reboot to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) and I didn’t like it nearly as much as I thought I would. Part of the problem is Ayer’s movie is often criticized when no one has actually seen it – and you […]
Amazon’s Invincible – based on the Image comic book created by Robert Kirkman (of The Walking Dead) is a love letter to the modern age superhero. In fact, depending upon what you think about that will probably have a lot to do with how you feel about the series. The story so far – only […]
Sometimes you encounter a movie so bad that it somehow manages to come full circle and end up at least pretty fascinating, and Horrorvision is one of those movies. “Lesser” movies will rip off one or two much better movies, typically trying to come in under the radar. But not this one! Terrorvision “borrows” liberally […]
Jason Banker’s Toad Road is a great movie. What makes it so impressive is that the horrors aren’t those like zombies or aliens, but those present in us all. The horrors of ennui and loneliness; the horrors of constantly searching for distraction from our mundane lives. The story revolves around a group of teenagers, who […]
Have you ever seen a movie that you felt you should like, a movie that has all the elements that you tend to enjoy, only to grudgingly come to the conclusion that – when you’re being honest with yourself – that you didn’t like it nearly as much as you’d thought you would? That was […]
A Dark Path is a bit of an odd duck. On one hand, it’s clearly a horror movie. The poster looks like it’s promoting a horror movie. The tag line “The Last Noise You’ll Hear Is Your Own Scream” is very Alien-ish, so once again, horror. The movie itself? Not so much. In fact it’s […]
