Quick movie, film, and documentary reviews from all around the world by and for the regular audience.
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.
The Flash [2023] – Sasha Calle, Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck
The Flash starts high and goes downhill from there. Flashpoint? The show did it better. Way better.
Flamin’ Hot [2023] – Jesse Garcia, Annie Gonzalez
Flamin’ Hot on Hulu and Disney Plus was entertaining and hot. Fantastic job by first time director Eva Longoria.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse [2023] – Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a masterpiece in visual design and storytelling even if it runs a bit too long.
