Luck (2022) - Rated 21 Jun 2025
Wolfs (2024) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"The basis for a fun movie is there, but the execution is thoroughly lacking. It's too barebones missing stuff like ticking clock momentum, escalating complications/confusion, (proper) third act rug pull/reveal - basic elements essential for this type of thing."
The Legend of Ochi (2025) - Rated 18 May 2025
"Off-beat, modernized kids' fairytale, that goes out of its way to not feel like an American family film, with a story that otherwise easily could have been reworked into a glossy Pixar film. It's probably the most (deliberately) dirty film I seen in ages, where most scenes almost smells of moldy, wet outhouse, and the actors must have rolled around in the mud before the cameras started rolling. It's the road less traveled I guess, so good on them."
The Gorge (2025) - Rated 13 May 2025
"I don't want to jinx anything, but I feel like we're on the verge (no pun intended) of a resurgence of the humble, mid-budge genrefilm. If so, I couldn't be happier. The Gorge seems altogether satisfied being just that, and, while it won't win any rewards for originality (borrowing left and right from ye good ol' trope chest) I enjoyed myself throughout. The only real disappointment was the "what is it?" reveal, which felt like a first draft placeholder, but other than that: Breezy fun."
Virtuosity (1995) - Rated 12 May 2025
"I'll give the film, that the premise is fun enough, if you can see pass the (even for the mid90s) cliché-ridden script, but not even the baseline charisma of Washington or the manic commitment of a scenery chewing Crow can distract from all the horrible CGI and general "aesthetics" of this Hollywood era's cyberpunk films."
The Man Who Would Be King (1975) - Rated 10 May 2025
RRR (2022) - Rated 10 May 2025
"GET PUMPED The Movie"
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004) - Rated 09 May 2025
The African Queen (1951) - Rated 07 May 2025
Warfare (2025) - Rated 05 May 2025
"A blunt and effective reminder that war is in fact not very fun."
