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

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…

Magic Mike’s Last Dance Movie Review

February 9, 2023 (updated February 10, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

Knock at the Cabin Movie Review

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

“Knock at the Cabin” has a dark and perverse premise, one of human sacrifice for the greater good. A group of zealots meet up and go to a cabin in the woods. Like in the movie ‘The Cabin in the Woods’, a similar sacrifice was meant to be made. The purpose was to save all of humanity. But in that movie, it would mildly poke fun at Horror Tropes. In this ‘Cabin’, the tone is dark and spooky, and the bizarre nature of the concept is not played for laughs.

Shotgun Wedding Movie Review

January 26, 2023 (updated January 26, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

Streaming on Prime Video as of January 27

“Shotgun Wedding” is a movie that takes careful aim at Action and Comedy, and then it pulls the trigger and hits both targets. It has a silly little premise (Tropical Invitation-Only Wedding gets overrun by Ruthless Pirates). The two leads are able pull this off without any sweat, and they have a great supporting cast. This movie could be “Die Hard at the Destination Wedding”… Read more Shotgun Wedding Movie Review

You People Movie Review

January 20, 2023 (updated January 20, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

Limited theater release: January 20, 2023

Netflix streaming: January 27, 2023

“You People” is a movie about a crash and clash of competing cultures. There is a young White Jewish guy who happens to meet a very nice Black Muslim lady. There is no reason that their relationship shouldn’t blossom and bloom into marriage, right? No reason, except they both have families who are not happy with that idea. The differences are as stark as day and night — or better said — Black and White.

Missing Movie Review

January 19, 2023 (updated January 20, 2023) Published by JMcNaughton

“Missing” is a movie that is from the same people that created “Searching”. That movie used the concept that everything you see on the big screen is from a small screen. That means everything seen is footage from computer screens, phone screens, and other devices – you get the idea. The original “Searching” did a terrific job in making all of that seem real. Now “Missing” follows in those same footsteps to slowly explain a mysterious disappearance and one girl’s relentless ‘searching’ for the truth.
