My quick rating - 5.9/10. Fans of Zombie movies should read this. It will not be what you are expecting. Yes, there are zombies, and yes, they get shot....but this movie is so much more than that. This flick is completely character-driven, and the plot is so much more than a zombie flick. Set just after the Civil War, an unlikely couple ends up trying to save one dude's sister. This movie looks incredible, and the scenes really caught me off guard. The acting is excellent for

My quick rating - 3.7/10. Final flick in the Knight trilogy ( Rogue and Redemption ), and since I have seen the other two, which had some entertainment value, I may as well wrap it up. Hey, look at that, it is Dizzy ( Dina Meyer ) from the cult flick, Starship Troopers . This flick is proving that you cannot take just anyone and make him the villain. Yeah, everyone not named Bruce Willis or Lochlyn Munro in this movie is absolutely worthless, but the kid they picked as the

My quick rating - 5.5/10. Even though he seems like a douche, I have always been a fan of Stephen Dorff , especially after the criminally underrated Botched . Speaking of, this movie has a similar wrong guy at the entirely wrong place vibe, such as that flick had. This time, Dorff is hired to rob a pawn shop, in the middle of some small town, that has 250K in cash (i think that was the amount) on hand. Never mind how there is no WAY in hell they would have that much cash, it

My quick rating - 2.3/10. Saw a trailer about a month ago and thought this one was worthy of a look (like I wouldn't have watched it anyway.) You know what would be more exciting than this movie? Staring out the window and watching the SNOW FALL. A group of mostly annoying adults head to a cabin during the winter, but after the power goes out, they start acting like irrational morons. You are supposed to think they are losing their minds, or the snow is inherently evil, but i

My quick rating - 4.9/10. I don't believe I have seen this since I left the theater. Time to check it out again for my collection. I know if nothing else, the music in this was good stuff. It really was a wasted flick since they could've developed it a lot better than it did. I blame the writing for that since the idea was there. Strangeland (1998) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 6.6/10. Did the Rock appear in every movie throughout the summer of 2013? Anyway, this movie is based on a true story, which makes it that much better when you see it. Reason for this? These "criminals" have to be the dumbest people in the world. The story revolves around 3 fitness trainers or muscleheads who decide they want better things in life. Well, of course, the best way to get them is to steal them. The mastermind of this is Danny Lugo (played by Mar

My quick rating - 4.8/10. I figured I'd give something a bit different a try. Westerns aren't my typical go-to. But this keeps popping up on the Firecubes Amazon banner, so why not? It was pretty easy to pick out the star of the show, and it was NOT Nicolas Cage . He did have a bit of a bounce back recently with a couple of decent flicks, so I was hoping it was just a spell of poor choices, but this one is mediocre at absolute best. I swear, it seems that he can act so well

My quick rating - 6.9/10. This and its sequel have made "best of" horror lists for their respective years, so I am going to check them out finally. Reading subtitles is a hassle with my eyes as of late, so I procrastinate. Very atmospheric with the camerawork and lack of sound at the right time to really suck you in for the scares. The family is torn apart initially when the mother passes away mysteriously to start this one. But there seems to be far more going on than just a

My quick rating - 5.0/10. Not bad for a B-budget horror flick. There have been other movies of the same name, but I don't believe anyone saw the need to remake this one. The Kindred (1987) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 3.5/10. Well, the first 40 minutes are just straight-up dialogue between two people, and even though I am a fan of Justin Long , what they were discussing wasn't exactly thrilling banter. Nor was the flick fooling me into thinking something was going to happen. 80 minutes of the 88 minutes are talking. Sorry for the spoiler, but it is just plain boring and misleading. The whole movie is based around Long giving a lift home to Kate Bosworth , and as the two

My quick rating - 7.0/10. When I saw the trailer, I was very intrigued, so now I can feed that curiosity. You can check this one out on HBOMax among a couple of other various streamers for $14.99. The Menu (2022) #thriller #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 6.5/10. I have been meaning to watch these flicks. I definitely enjoyed this one and found the asides directly to the audience by Millie Bobby Brown were a nice touch. Here she plays Enola, and while searching for her missing mother ( Helena Bonham Carter ), the intrepid teen uses her sleuthing skills to outsmart big brother Sherlock ( Henry Cavill ) and help a runaway lord. The mystery is aimed at a bit lower target audience than a Knives Out audience, b

My quick rating - 5.0/10. Not sure why this is billed as comedy/horror since there is not entirely enough of either of those things to qualify it for that. This is your prime example of doing just enough to make a passable thriller that you aren't going to complain about, but still aren't telling your friends to check out. This flick ended, and I said, "That was a pretty good made-for-TV movie." That is about the extent of the feeling it conveyed. Our writer/director, Duncan

My quick rating - 3.0/10. I have NO idea what to expect with this one. But I will first make sure you all know I don't do drugs. And even if I did do drugs, I still don't think this crap would be funny. The story is directly out of the mouth of a child with a good imagination. Aliens and clowns are both chasing after a secret relic to rule the world, which pits them against each other. But to develop a kid's dream, our author/director Richard Elfman has to throw in some perv

My quick rating - 7.2/10. Ma Dong-seok (or Don Lee for a more Western name) stars in this gritty action flick from first-time Korean director Sang-yong Lee . For a debut behind the lens, it isn't going to get much better than this. The "Beast Cop" returns as this is a sequel to The Outlaws , which I will admit, I haven't seen yet. Don Lee may be familiar to some from Eternals , where he played the hard-hitting Gilgamesh. In this flick, he plays a South Korean detective who

My quick rating - 4.2/10. This time it seems the heist takes place on Christmas, or at least all the criminals dressed up like Santa Claus. Again, don't think I needed to make it a holiday flick, though. This one takes place immediately after the events of the first one, so for continuity, you would want to watch them in order. And with that being said, I am a bit limited in the setup since it relies on the ending of Rogue . The start of this flick really gets you hyped for w
