Movies
Quick movie, film, and documentary reviews from all around the world by and for the regular audience.
Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile [2022] – Javier Bardem, Winslow Fegley, Shawn Mendes
A pleasant surprise, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile made me smile, a lot. It might be the perfect film to snuggle on the sofa.
Jerry and Marge Go Large [2022] – Bryan Cranston, Annette Bening
Jerry and Marge Go Large could have been even better by investing in its tremendously talented stars and outlandish fact-based story.
Cocaine Bear [2023] – Ray Liotta, Keri Russell, Margo Martindale
Cocaine Bear was surprising. Like a bear on cocaine, the move is crazy fun with some shocking scenes…in a clever way.
Magic Mike’s Last Dance [2023] – Salma Hayek, Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer
Magic Mike didn’t need his last dance. Warner Bros should have kept the franchise alone and not ruin it with this slow and cheap disaster.
Shotgun Wedding [2022] – Jennifer Lopez, Josh Duhamel, Lenny Kravitz, Jennifer Coolidge
Shotgun Wedding has a good reason for putting Jennifer Coolidge at the center. She saved the movie from being a total disaster.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania [2023] – Paul Rudd, Jonathan Majors, Evangeline Lilly
Quantumania is the 31st movie from Marvel Studios. It certainly has a future thanks to a powerful performance by Jonathan Majors.
The People We Hate at the Wedding [2022] – Allison Janney, Ben Platt, Kristen Bell
The People We Hate at the Wedding is a movie that I was expecting to hate. Yet, somehow, I actually really enjoyed it!
News of the World [2021] – Tom Hanks, Helena Zengel
News of the World, while mildly entertaining, needed a bit more grit and less preaching.
80 for Brady [2023] – Rita Moreno, Sally Field, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin
80 for Brady is a light comedy that wins thanks to its veteran leading ladies, their chemistry and charm. It’s a fitfully winsome watch.
Bullet Train [2022] – Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Bullet Train is an entertaining movie without any perspective or need. You get to enjoy the sarcasm, but that’s it.
A Man Called Otto [2022] – Tom Hanks, John Higgins
A Man Called Otto has an undeniable message about looking past one’s surface to see the person inside with move even the most skeptical.
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody [2022] – Naomi Ackie, Stanley Tucci
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody is not perfect, but it’s one of the best musical biographies I’ve seen.
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank [2022] – Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, Ricky Gervais
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is an often-ungainly blend of kid-friendly animation and grown-up gags.
