Summer family film about a family, set in an explosion-filled save the world trope-fest. Exactly what we expect from the franchise. Doesn’t quite up the game as a […]
Murder by Death, 1976 – ★★★½
While on my binge of old-school whodunits, this is a classic I’d seen and somewhat forgotten about. Enjoyed re-watching it a lot though. The mechanics of this clearly […]
A Shot in the Dark, 1964 – ★★★
This was a warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia. Clouseau, finally the way I expected him to be. His blind spot is now sizably smaller to fit the ongoings. […]
The Pink Panther, 1963 – ★★½
A little more dated than I remember, watching this as a kid. The chaplin-esque slapstick in colour took a little adjusting to despite knowing to expect it. I’d […]
Jolt, 2021 – ★★½
If Hanna, Atomic Blonde, Crank and Equilibrium had an orgy this would be the outcome. Since I enjoyed most of them, I enjoyed this just about enough too, […]
Midnight in the Switchgrass, 2021 – ★★
If Emile Hirsch’s resemblance to Jack Black wasn’t so distracting and if it were still the mid 90’s, this was not half bad, but sadly both those things […]
Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, 2021 – ★★★★
I feel this surpassed its predecessor and then some. So much gun fun in blockbuster film glory, and of course at the core of it, just another indie […]
Fear Street: 1666, 2021 – ★★★½
Brought the full thing round circle with familiarity & fun. Made up for the slight dip that the second part had. Overall, as a trilogy, enjoyed it a […]
Fear Street Part Two: 1978, 2021 – ★★★
Somewhat as expected, this one took a step down in impressing with the underpinnings of what’s actually happening aspect of surprise gone. Nonetheless, a decent slasher leaving enough […]
Fear Street Part One: 1994, 2021 – ★★★½
A bundle of fun. It’s not as spoofy as Scream, but is still self-aware and does a good job of surprising by following the genre template and subverting […]
Black Widow, 2021 – ★★★½
This is such a Bollywood movie in all the right ways. Indie dysfunctional family drama with all the summer blockbuster seasoning to cover it up. I can see […]
