Quick movie, film, and documentary reviews from all around the world by and for the regular audience.
Quiz Lady [2023] – Awkwafina, Sandra Oh on Hulu/Disney+
Quiz Lady is a funny movie that shines thanks to its two main stars, but not its story. Friendly, ephemeral, somewhat predictable and conventional. Yes, not every…
No Hard Feelings [2023] – Jennifer Lawrence, Andrew Barth Feldman
No Hard Feelings might not be re-inventing the wheel, but it’s slightly different take on the rom-com genre is certainly entertaining. Starring Jennifer Lawrence & Andrew Barth…
The Creator [2023] – John David Washington, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Gemma Chan
The Creator is one of those movies that will surprise you positively. The trailers don’t even come close to doing it justice. Directed by Gareth Edwards, this…
The Marvels [2023] – Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris
The Marvels shows that Marvel Studios can still make good movies as long as they focus on the characters and have fun! This movie is weird, wacky,…
Plane [2023] – Gerard Butler, Mike Colter on Crave/Starz
Plane is another B-Movie starring Gerard Butler that takes a tried and tested formula and recycles it again. This time, it’s an island. Taken meets Lost. This…
Haunted Mansion [2023] – LaKeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Owen Wilson
Haunted Mansion is a fun blend of horror and comedy with a great cast and a story that is entertaining regardless of having experienced the ride. Personally,…
Fast X [2023] – Vin Diesel, Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez
Fast X is an over extended and unnecessary waste of time and money if it wasn’t for a perfectly deranged performance by Jason Momoa.
Book Club: The Next Chapter [2023] – Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen
Book Club: The Next Chapter is a comedy that is elevated by stellar performances. Even if its story isn’t special, there’s lots of laughs.
Dumb Money [2023] – Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio
Dumb Money is an entertaining dumb movie about how rich people make money and how one guy managed to change that in the dumbest of ways.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 [2023] – Nia Vardalos, John Corbett
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 repeats much of we loved the first time around but suffers from cliches. Amiable and sunny if often unamusing.
God Forbid: The Sex Scandal that Brought Down a Dynasty [2022] on Hulu/Disney+
God Forbid is shocking, but also not. It was a great documentary to watch. But it also solidified my opinion on fake extreme Christianity.
The Beanie Bubble [2023] – Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks on AppleTV+
The Beanie Bubble focus on the women in Ty’s life that helped make the beanie craze instead of the fake bubble head that is Ty.
A Haunting in Venice [2023] – Kenneth Branagh, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh
A Haunting in Venice is a decent Halloween snack whose undemanding mystery gets a lift from nifty visuals and a stellar cast.
