My quick rating - 7.1/10. Another one of the Oscar nominees this year, and one I have no idea what it is about. That scene on the boat during the storm is priceless. I'll digress. The movie presents a captivating story of a group of strangers who meet on a luxurious yacht that takes them on a journey they never imagined. The film cleverly examines the dynamics of the human psyche and how people react under extreme pressure and stress. The characters presented are all quite u

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
