Bio: I love movies. I currently write full-length reviews over at www.walkingtaco.com, a great site where I and several other writers review movies new and old. Check us out and leave us comments!

I use Criticker, an excellent quick-review site, to manage and keep track of all the films I see that I may not have a chance to review in full-length on my site.

F1: The Movie (2025) - Rated 31 Aug 2025

It stays in its line and looks and sounds as good as it can.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) - Rated 31 Aug 2025

The opening catalyst and the finale destroys the slasher elements that work in between. Tying the movie into the original two flicks only ends up doing more harm than good. Hewitt is given 5 minutes of mostly worthless screen time, and Prinze Jr feels so far removed from his character. If it didn't start and end on such an awful note, it might have been fun.

Gran Turismo (2023) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

It's a slick entertainment with great racing sequences.

Reptile (2023) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

It held my interest throughout - the actors led by Benicio - are especially just too good. However, the movie itself doesn't quite stick the landing, even though it is a mostly engrossing slow-burn thriller.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

This is super average, and doesn't feel elevated from the slew preexisting sequels.

Expend4bles (2023) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

It is simulatenously watchable and bad. What's frustrating about this franchise is that the core appeal of the actual franchise is forgotten after Part 2.

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

It's not as good as the first movie, but it works for the target audience.

Sly (2023) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

There's some great background information here from Stallone, but this deserves to be twice as long, and barely goes through his filmmography.

75 _67%

Oppenheimer (2023) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

It's mostly thrilling, exceptionally acted, and a great effort from director Christopher Nolan.

80 _79%

Extraction 2 (2023) - Rated 04 Dec 2023

It's head-splitting action from beginning to end, with more impressive long takes. If you want anything more out of this, you're looking in the wrong place.
