My quick rating - 3.8/10. Always good to see the very underrated Robert LaSardo pop up in flix, although I prefer seeing him in things with a bit more production quality than this one. He and Greg Nutcher were the only familiar faces and, coincidentally, the only ones who could act in the slightest. Not that B-budget horror flicks are known for their acting, but the others, especially the kids, seemed oblivious to everything going on. The family is desperate and forced to t

My quick rating - 5.5/10. I am quite glad that stuff such as this is finding its way over a bit easier now. Not that this is some monumental flick like Parasite was, but still entertaining and wouldn't have found a way to my screen a decade ago. It opens up quite nicely, and I have to say I was genuinely really enjoying the narrative this one laid out. It opens with a schoolgirl being hunted by a monster and killed. It then cuts to Asuka ( Kanna Hashimoto ), who hears a voic

My quick rating - 4.7/10. It was the middle of the road, and didn't try to be all about fighting or comedy, more drama really. The acting was fine, and yes, Triple H held his own, not getting wrapped up in the WWE thing. Michael Rapaport was good for comedy. Plot was exactly what you expect, released from prison, drawn back into crime....etc. Parker Posey was great (what else is new). If you go in like some jackasses will, assuming it's a wrestling flick, you will say it su

My quick rating - 6.5/10. This Oscar nominee is one that I know very little about. I did catch Cate Blanchett on the Colbert Show during her press tour and got a quick rundown of the basic story, but before that, I knew nothing about the fictional composer. This flick explores the complexities of the international world of Western classical music, with a focus on the life and work of the fictional composer Lydia Tár. The film features a talented cast, including Cate Blanche

My quick rating - 2.3/10. I am purposely going in after having heard and read that this is one of the worst movies ever made. Sounds like fun!!!! Ok, the picture quality is awful, but that is expected since I cannot see anyone going back and remastering this LOL. A group of guys are deserted on an island after a hot air balloon crash (a bit weird already) and, to their incredible luck, are discovered by a tribe of bikini-clad women. I have seen far worse flicks, but this one

My quick rating - 7.4/10. Time to hit another best picture nominee. Such a great story of a child's journey to becoming a renowned director. The movie itself is a semi-biographical tale of how Steven Spielberg became the influential artist we all know him to be. I have to admit that he is easily one of the biggest influences on my love for film, and I am sure many in my age group feel the same. So the chance to take a look at what shaped his incredible vision was a movie tha

My quick rating - 6.2/10. "Someone's using the Wifi." Oh shut up, those lights are blinking ALL THE TIME if it is on and connected. Sorry, geek speak done. In a world still reeling from the clutches of COVID, this flick emerges as a timely and exhilarating exploration of quarantine-induced isolation, sprinkled with a wickedly dark sense of humor. Written by the mastermind behind the iconic "Scream" franchise, Kevin Williamson , this film takes us on an unexpected rollercoaste

My quick rating - 2.4/10. The elusive sasquatch. Been hiding from humans for years and barely ever even photographed. But this dude just wanders into the forest after losing his girlfriend and can find them no problem. Apparently, they are hiding out in a forest right off the beaten path, kind of like the forest preserves you see everywhere. This low-budget effort is pretty damn stupid. I will give them credit for attempting to weave a couple of storylines together, though. N

My quick rating 6.4/10. Ok, not drama, but those who know me will realize I won't be posting many drama reviews ( when I wrote this review a decade ago, I had no idea why I saw the need to point that out) . Anyway, this one is a very good anime movie bringing back original characters from the original. The CGI is seamless to the point of you may forget it is CGI. The story is simple: the bugs have taken over a ship and are trying to hitch a ride so they can attempt to breach

My quick rating - 5.8/10. I was a fan of the original flix with Michael J. Fox but I can say that I never watched the TV series with Tyler Posey , who is back in this flick. I am pretty damn sure they have nothing to do with each other. Already throwing flashbacks at me, so I can see that watching the series would enhance this movie. Oops. This one is exclusive to Paramount+ right now. Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023) #action #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 5.2/10. Well, I will say it has a great cast. Jennifer Lopez (Darcy) is by far the star of the show. She and Josh Duhamel (Tom) get their family to all meet up for a wedding extraordinaire on a remote tropical island. In true rom-com fashion, things aren't so easy, and the entire wedding is taken hostage. Conveniently, at the time of the infiltration, the bride and groom are elsewhere, so the hunt for them begins the action. I use the term loosely, though,

My quick rating - 2.1/10. This flick is just painfully boring. The whole movie is basically Jeremiah Sayys wandering around his home with an "I lost my dog" look on his face. In the story, it seems he has lost his wife, and they cannot be bothered to truly explain how. The one-man show is interrupted briefly by some family members who really don't add much to the story except that Sayys character Colby, demonstrating he is possibly going insane. As he is wandering around h

My quick rating - 4.4/10. This is the epitome of a guilty pleasure. It starts out with bullying this poor girl for having a large nose. It is comically large on purpose, not just someone with a bigger-than-usual schnooze. The people are straight-up cruel to the poor girl, and the second half of the revenge in this one was well deserved. Elizabeth Chamberlain plays the abused woman who finally decides to get plastic surgery to repair her looks, but she is instead grossly dis

My quick rating - 2.8/10. I really like it when movies immediately introduce characters that you look forward to seeing get dismembered. This one did right away with a bunch of obnoxious guys and their trophy girls along the way for a trip to "float" down a local river. And what is floating, you might ask? These nimrods are living large, inflating their pool tubes and doing just what that poster looks like, in a leech-filled river barely waist-deep. Talk about really braving

My quick rating - 4.6/10. Well, Michelle Monaghan was great in this flick. Her son is bitten by the family dog, and soon after, the kid realizes, while in the hospital, that he must drink fresh blood to survive. Why she ends up so good is how she plays out a single mother who will literally do whatever is necessary to keep her son alive and well. Monaghan is really the only point to watching this flick since it never gets exciting, never turns down a horror road with gore o

My quick rating - 7.2/10. Another Oscar nominee for best picture. Austin Butler was excellent in his depiction of Elvis. Oftentimes, he was holding this movie together since Baz Luhrmann has a tendency to get a bit lost in his own flicks. One thing that stuck out to me in this is the complete lack of addressing the drug problem that Elvis had. I understand trying to keep with the all-American image, but if you are going to show the highs and lows of a legend's career such a

My quick rating - 5.4/10. Microsoft has the cheapest rental or purchase at Amazon . Fear Of The Dark (2003) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 2.4/10. More of a PSA that this is one of the worst documentaries I have seen on really any subject. But to make matters worse, this is a subject I am very interested in and have always tried to read/watch all I can on it. But between the constant annoying music playing in the background and the completely pointless and unrelated videos playing, it is just so amateur. At least they got the verdict about him being Jack the Ripper correct. No one in their righ
