It doesn’t work in either direction. When Gaspar Noe’s “Irreversible” premiered at Cannes back in 2002, half the audience were repulsed by its rape scene, while the other half admired Noe’s filmmaking […]
Irreversible: The Straight Cut
Groundhog Day Turns 30
How this 1993 comedy classic meets well with age over and over again. Harold Ramis’ 1993 comedy “Groundhog Day” is a hilarious one. A sweet and lovable hit that repeats itself with […]
Shotgun Wedding
Don’t RSVP to this wedding. Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel are two of our most appealing hot stars. They both should know better than to succumb to the idiocy and cliches of […]
The Old Way
A fistful of wasted dollars is unforgiven here. There’s a scene in “The Old Way” when an autistic girl (at least we believe she’s on the spectrum) tells her father she doesn’t […]
Plane
It’s just plane crazy fun. The last two Gerard Butler movies I’ve seen were “Greenland” and “Copshop,” which both knew how to have fun with their leading Scottish man. Now, we have […]
The Pale Blue Eye
Now, this is a detective Christian Bale period piece. After labeling “Amsterdam” as the worst film of 2022, here’s Christian Bale in a much better murder mystery known as “The Pale Blue […]
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
A near purr-fect animated sequel with great visuals and amazing stars. “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” is not only the sequel to the 2011 animated hit, which was inspired by Antonio […]
Avatar: The Way of Water
Well than worth the wait. Seeing “Avatar: The Way of Water” on a Dolby 3D screen is an unbelievable experience. James Cameron assembles the right team of filmmakers and artists to allow […]
Violent Night
Up on the housetop like John Wick, down came the chimney with Die Hard St. Nick. I skip such horror films like “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and “The Mean One,” […]
Emancipation
A decent action film with a lead who deserves another chance. As you know, at the Oscars when Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith being cast in “G.I. Jane […]
