Movies
Quick movie, film, and documentary reviews from all around the world by and for the regular audience.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie [2023] – Chris Pratt, Charlie Day
The Super Mario Bros. Movie plays on Illumination strengths and Nintendo’s nostalgia. The outcome? And enjoyable but honestly forgettable movie.
The Covenant [2023] – Jake Gyllenhaal, Dar Salim on MGM+/Prime Video
The Covenant is packed with some good action and that’s it. The movie is alive thanks to outstanding performance by Dar Salim.
The Thing About Harry – TV Movie [2020] – Jake Borelli, Niko Terho
The Thing About Harry is that this movie actually works, without even trying to. Romance, Comedy, heart and more.
Mafia Mamma [2023] – Monica Bellucci, Toni Collette on Paramount+
Mafia Mamma is a fun, lightweight comedy with some excellent performances from Monica Bellucci and Toni Collete.
Peter Pan & Wendy [2023] – Alexander Molony, Ever Anderson, Jude Law on Disney+
Peter Pan & Wendy doesn’t have a reason to exist. Yet, this didn’t prevent director David Lowery from making a decent movie.
Red, White & Royal Blue [2023] – Nicholas Galitzine, Taylor Zakhar Perez
Red, White & Royal Blue is a movie that i was skeptical about. But Taylor Zakhar Perez & Nicholas Galitzine surprised me. In many ways.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts [2023] – Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts surprised me. Avengers meets Indiana Jones, it is probably the first of the franchise that I didn’t hate.
Barbie [2023] – Margot Robbie, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ryan Gosling
Barbie proves that life in plastic is not always fantastic. Thanks to a perfect script by Greta Gerwig, the movie soars to a cult classic.
Oppenheimer [2023] – Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon
Oppenheimer is really good, explosive. The Christopher Nolan movie soars to explosive heights in its third act with masterful sound editing.
Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game [2022] – Mike Faist, Crystal Reed
The most surprising thing about this Pinball is that GQ had a direct connection to saving the game, and Roger Sharpe’s marriage.
Ambulance [2022] – Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Eiza González
Ambulance starts as a bank heist. But it suddenly turns into a cliché between the Fast franchise and what could have easily avoided.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye [2021] – Jessica Chastain, Andrew Garfield
The Eyes of Tammy Faye actively tries not to take sides, but it passively does.
The Card Counter [2021] – Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish
The Card Counter is not about counting cards. But Oscar Isaac’s performance will force you to watch this drama all the way to the end.
