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. The hit man saga of ‘John Wick’ hits harder and with a more forceful punch than ever before. 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).

Cocaine Bear Movie Review

February 24, 2023 (updated February 24, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Cocaine Bear” is a movie you think might go over the ‘line’ and you hope it doesn’t ‘blow’. Some of the situations are more than you can ‘bear’, so make sure your movie ticket has an Escape ‘Claws’. You know that ‘things go better with Coke’, especially a drugged-up bear with anger issues. So sit back and take just another ‘hit’…

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Movie Review

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

“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is the title that just rolls off your tongue, or not! For once again the Marvel Movie Machine has come up a way to relax with some known characters, while introducing a Brand-New Big Bad. It is assumed that the audience is all caught up and up-to-speed with prior Marvel installments. That includes some previous Ant-Man movies, and even some Disney Plus streaming series (‘Loki’, perhaps?)… Read more

“Of An Age” is a movie about finding someone who appears to be a soul mate, only to lose that person in less than 24 hours. That is a tough situation for anyone, but to discover what is really deep down inside – it is heart-breaking. Especially when that person you have just found is leaving the next day… Read more Of An Age Movie Review

Let It Be Morning Movie Review

February 10, 2023 (updated February 10, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Let It Be Morning” is a story based on tension and conflict. But it explains that predicament in ways that emphasize boredom and frustration. In a remote village in Israel, there is no way to avoid the uneasy feeling of being an entire town of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. Especially when the road out of town is cut off and there is a military lock down…
