Plane (2023)
My quick rating - 6.4/10. I definitely enjoyed that one more than I was expecting. We get a very believable Gerard Butler as a pilot who happens to get the unfortunate flight through a minefield of a storm and a convict, Mike Colter , as a passenger. I think the poster clues you in on the fact that the plane goes down, and they have to team up to try and not only survive, but save the passengers. The effects in this one, as far as said crash landings, look extremely good, es

Unwelcome (2023)
My quick rating - 4.5/10. Another one marred by a stupid ending. All I could think of after it got rolling was a cross between Troll (1986) and Puppet Master . This horror flick is about a married couple, Maya ( Hannah John-Kamen ) and Jamie ( Douglas Booth ), who move to rural Ireland to start a new life after being targeted by a home invasion back in the city. However, their peaceful existence is soon shattered when they discover malevolent goblins lurking in the ancient w

Alice, Darling (2023)
My quick rating - 4.4/10. SO boring. If it wasn't for a really good performance by Anna Kendrick , it might be a #turkey. I think even I am being too generous with this one since so little happens throughout this whole flick. The whole thing is a very subtle cry for help by Kendrick as her "man" ( Charlie Carrick ) is controlling her life. We see these moments happen through occasional flashbacks while she is on a trip with her girlfriends for a birthday weekend. It is quite

The Banshees Of Inisherin (2022)
My quick rating - 8.0/10. I have already heard great things about this Oscar nominee. And for very good reason, as two things stuck out to me. First is the fact that you will have to be in the right kind of mood for this flick. The second is the incredible performances by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson . You have to realize this is a dark comedy that explores the complex dynamics of friendship and the devastating consequences that can arise when those relationships break

Knock At The Cabin (2023)
My quick rating - 6.0/10. Good to start out right away with a creepy Dave Bautista . The flick presents an intriguing premise with its mix of hostage drama and apocalyptic themes. The film follows a family on vacation, who are unexpectedly taken hostage by armed strangers. As the situation unfolds, the family is presented with a life-altering choice that could potentially avert the end of the world. The performances of the cast are generally solid, with Bautista doing a comm

Die Hart: The Movie (2023)
My quick rating - 5.0/10. I never did check out the TV show on Roku , so I am going solely off of this flick, which I guess is the episodes edited into movie form. Seems the latest trend for stars is to make a parody of themselves. There are far better examples of this happening lately after JCVD got the whole idea started. This flick follows Kevin Hart 's fictionalized journey to become an action movie star. The film revolves around his enrollment in a school run by Ron Wi

The Monster Mash (2022)
My quick rating - 5.4/10. Looks like this one is going to be a B-budget anthology of sorts. Whispering Hollow Road is story number one and sees an "older guy picking up a stranded girl" story. We already see what it is he likes to film shortly before finding this new girl. Most of the time, they'll make it look like the car is moving with scenes out the window, maybe shaking the car. Not this movie. Just dead black and doesn't even bother trying to make it look like movement

Tamara (2005)
My quick rating - 4.7/10. Sure, I only watched this because I have a friend who has a daughter named Tamara. Well, if she aspires to grow up being a sexy witch, then this is the movie for her. A typical school of cool kids, who are not cool in the slightest, set out to play a prank on the socially inept, shy girl, Tamara (Jenna Dewan). But unbeknownst to them, she also practices witchcraft. Well, when they accidentally kill her and bury her in the woods, she comes back to lif

Deaths Of Ian Stone (2007)
My quick rating - 6.8/10. By far the best film of the After Dark film festival from 2007 (if you don't know what that is, look it up!) Anyway, the plot was excitingly original. You are hunted and killed every day and wake up in a new life. Sound confusing? At first, it will be since you have to figure out why you are so important and who that woman is who keeps appearing. The story is woven extremely well, and the journey is by far better than the destination. This is one of
