A Minecraft Movie Review
“A Minecraft Movie” is an adaptation of the very popular video game called “Minecraft”. In the past, few movies based on video games have become known for quality and extended box office success. Now, this attempt gets some high-profile actors and a quirky Director to ‘craft’ a nugget of Gold. Or is this only Fool’s Gold?
A Working Man Movie Review
“A Working Man” is an Action Hero version of new tread on old tires. The beefy “Man” of the title is sent on a mission. Find a kidnapped daughter and save her from a gang that deals in the ‘human traffic’ business. The one “Taken” is not his daughter, but he still goes on a bloody rampage to free her. Read more
The Day the Earth Blew Up Movie Review
“The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie” is a title that is mouthful, kinda like mouthful of gum. That is the evil Alien gum from the nasty villain of this movie.

Heart Eyes Movie Review
“Heart Eyes” is a movie that takes a standard Romantic Comedy, but then veers off course into the Horror/Slasher realm. It first wants to warm the cockles of your heart, and then it turns around and pretty much tries to cut that sucker out of your chest.

One of Them Days Movie Review
“One of Them Days” is rowdy comedy that examines two young Black women who are roommates in urban L.A. Of course — it is on their “Worst. Day. Ever.” When the rent is due, and the emotions run high — can these two avoid Eviction, and even — later on — Certain Death? Can a friendship survive the strain? Can the parade of ridiculous rejects lead to something sweet? This is “One of Them Movies” that is bound to give you a chuckle! Read more
Kraven the Hunter Movie Review
“Kraven the Hunter” is a Sony Pictures movie about a Marvel character in the ‘Spider-Man Universe’. It is not a Marvel movie. That is a roundabout way of saying this is another Spider-Man related movie that has no Spider-Man. But it uses a super-powered Spidey villain named ‘Kraven’ to power up a story of evil crime lords, and the people who hunt them…
