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).

“Creed III” is a new movie in the franchise of “Rocky”, which started back in 1976. Back then, Rocky faced a boxer in the ring named Apollo Creed. With this offshoot from the original series, Creed’s son has risen in the ranks and now is a retired Heavyweight Champ. Three movies in, and now Creed faces a new opponent in the ring, someone from his dark past… Read more Creed III Movie Review

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’…

Emily Movie Review

February 24, 2023 (updated February 24, 2023) Published by Shari K. Green

Once thought of as actress Frances O’Connor from such films as “Mansfield Park,” “A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE” and “The Conjuring 2,” she’s now Actress, Writer, and Director Frances O’Connor. And what an undertaking she took on for her debut film. I must first mention what a fine job she did choosing her cast and crew. Abel Korzeniowski’s score is nothing short of transcendent. During the opening credits, it’ll have you in the mood for something heavy and exciting to watch. And this will be the case during the remainder of the film. She couldn’t have picked a better costume designer, cinematographer, or cast, either.

Sharper Movie Review

February 17, 2023 (updated February 17, 2023) Published by Shari K. Green

Everyone loves a movie about a good con job. “The Usual Suspects,” “Catch Me If You Can,” and “A Fish Called Wanda” are a few of my favorite films of the genre. Of course, it’s best when you don’t see the sting coming too quickly. Here, it’s all over the place, but what sets this apart from some of the more recent films centered around the con artist is that you can’t quite tell who, in the end, will be the final mark. Or is everyone the mark?

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 Movie Review

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

“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

Marlowe Movie Review

February 15, 2023 (updated February 15, 2023) Published by Shari K. Green

“Marlowe” is a not-so-engaging film noir set in the Bay City in October of 1939. It’s based on a novel by John Banville, who also wrote Albert Nobbs (2011), The Sea (2013) and Quirke (2013), which were also turned into movies. In books by Raymond Chandler, the Marlowe character is so popular that he practically defines the gumshoe character itself. Chandler wouldn’t be so happy with his operative so weak and feckless as he is here. An aging Neeson may have been the right fit for the part several years ago, but perhaps it’s time to hang up the roles that call for him to play characters like this, where his being cast makes the story unbelievable for the audience.
