Renfield Movie Review

April 13, 2023 (updated April 13, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Renfield” places its tongue firmly within its cheek – then goes bloody crazy and bites the whole thing off. There are winks and nods to original source material (Universal’s traditional Dracula movies) and modern updates with gore, drugs and violence. But this time the main character is not the Master of Evil, but his put-upon servant. Talk about ‘Horrible Bosses’! Read more Renfield Movie Review

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Review

April 4, 2023 (updated April 4, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is an animated visual delight of kid-friendly action and video-game player nostalgia. The story is the old basic ‘unlikely hero’ concept where a couple of New York City plumbers save the city. They also save the Mushroom Kingdom, a far-off land of mushrooms and toads, and one lovely princess. Read more The Super Mario Bros. Movie Review

Murder Mystery 2 Movie Review

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Movie Review

March 30, 2023 (updated March 30, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” is a movie that has humble roots in a popular role-playing, dice rolling game. But it simply uses that original game as a jumping-off point to fantasy world of crazy characters and places. With a marvelous sense of witty humor and jokey situations, the cast goes on quests to find artifacts, talisman pendants and secret objects. They create an enjoyable journey of discovery. Read more

John Wick: Chapter 4 Movie Review

March 23, 2023 (updated March 24, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“John Wick: Chapter 4” does the opposite of many movie sequel series. It gets better, and more amped up, and full of more brutal action sequences than the prior movies.

There is no shortage of bullets, blades or adrenaline in this action-packed 2 hours, 49 minutes of mayhem and madness. So, strap in for a roller coaster ride of revenge.

Inside Movie Review

March 16, 2023 (updated March 16, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Inside” is a rare hybrid of a movie. There are movies about ‘Art’… And there are ‘Art Movies’. But in this case, it is an ‘Art Movie’ about ‘Art’. More specifically, this is a movie about the theft of Art – or at least the attempt. But when it all goes south, can the Art Thief exist on only paintings, sculptures and other pieces of Art?

Scream VI Movie Review

March 9, 2023 (updated March 9, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Scream VI” takes the horror franchise to somewhere it has never been before – New York City. The Ghostface killer has moved to the Big Apple, to take a slice out of people there. To paraphrase Sinatra – “If I can slash ’em there, I can slash ’em anywhere”. But the extended string of ‘Scream’ movies is wearing very thin. The plot becomes more and more removed from any sense of reality. SPOILERS AHEAD — but none from this movie! Read more Scream VI Movie Review

Champions Movie Review

March 9, 2023 (updated March 9, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Champions” is a remake of a Spanish movie in which a disgraced basketball coach is forced to do community service by coaching a team of intellectually challenged kids. This is the type of movie that could be really disturbing if all the jokes are at the expense of the ‘slow kids’. But, it may surprise you that the situation is treated with much more respect than you might think. Read more Champions Movie Review

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre Movie Review

March 2, 2023 (updated March 2, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” is a spy thriller that follows a well-trod path. All the previous iterations of James Bond, Mission: Impossible, Man from UNCLE, and even Our Man Flint have taken the suave but deadly super-spy on dangerous missions. Here, a small team sets out to retrieve an important item (but it is unknown), stolen by a dangerous group (identities are unknown), and the item is to be auctioned off (to parties unknown).
