45 46% The Lost Battalion (2001) - Rated 26 Jul 2024
""The Lost Battalion" is a war film with intense action and larger-than-life heroics. While it's watchable, it doesn't leave a lasting impression. The movie focuses heavily on the major, failing to develop a strong connection with other characters."
38 23% The Cosmic Man (1959) - Rated 24 Jul 2024
"“The Cosmic Man” is a low-budget 1950s spin on an alien first contact. I have a soft spot for these types of movies, but this one is lacking. It’s got all the parts, but it fails to execute any real drama."
12 0% Space Sharks (2024) - Rated 21 Jul 2024
"If you enjoy hunting down bad movies, you found one in "Space Sharks.” Unfortunately, it's not the entertaining kind of bad—it’s just poorly made."
35 15% The Point (1971) - Rated 21 Jul 2024
"“The Point” could be a good 5 to 6-minute short film, but stretching it to over an hour was too much. The art was simple, and the pacing was very slow, making it painful to watch."
38 23% Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024) - Rated 21 Jul 2024
"In "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1," Kevin Costner aims to craft an epic Western with a narrative spanning many hours. While this ambitious project holds promise, the first film doesn’t meet expectations. Rather than building to a climax, it ends with what feels like an extended teaser for future installments. Though it has the potential to become a favorite Western when complete, as a standalone film, it misses the mark."
47 52% Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) - Rated 16 Jul 2024
""Kingsman: The Golden Circle" is an over-the-top action spy film that excels during fight scenes. However, the repetitive nature of the action, merely changing settings without much variation, makes it feel predictable. While it remains entertaining, it's not memorable."
32 11% Knights (1993) - Rated 15 Jul 2024
""Knights" presents a fascinating concept of cyborgs that drink blood and pursue immortality. However, the film disappoints with a weak storyline and poor storytelling, failing to meet even B movie standards despite the presence of a few decent actors."
62 83% Pimpernel Smith (1941) - Rated 12 Jul 2024
"In “Pimpernel Smith,” Leslie Howard crafts an adaptation of the "Scarlet Pimpernel" story, setting it during the lead-up to WWII. By directing the film himself, Howard seamlessly aligns the movie with his vision of the character, delivering a masterful performance. While it contains a few preachy moments and lacks action, the film still offers an enjoyable and compelling journey."
43 41% Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) - Rated 12 Jul 2024
"Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F successfully blends elements of a remake and a sequel by featuring both the original cast and new characters. The film retains the action and pacing of the original, but it lacks the energy and wild charm that a young Eddie Murphy brought to the first version. However, it's enjoyable for its nostalgic value, making it a worthwhile watch for fans seeking a trip down memory lane. Despite this, it ultimately doesn't offer any memorable moments."
68 88% Get Carter (1971) - Rated 10 Jul 2024
""Get Carter" was co-produced by Michael Caine, allowing him to take on the role of an anti-hero devoid of any likable qualities—and he excels in this portrayal. In fact, none of the characters in the film are particularly likable or good. The film's realistic depiction of violence is further intensified by its dark, atmospheric setting, drawing the audience into the film's world and enhancing its overall impact."
