Movies
Quick movie, film, and documentary reviews from all around the world by and for the regular audience.
F9: The Fast Saga [2021]
F9: The Fast Saga is more over the top than ever. Who needs a believable story when you have wall-to-wall action that defies the laws of physics?
The United States vs Billie Holiday [2021]
The United States vs. Billie Holiday often falls shy of its subject’s transcendence; but Andra Day’s performance offers brilliant compensation.
The Little Things [2021]
Despite the participation of three Oscar winners, it offers little that’s fresh or exciting.
Wrath of Man [2021]
Wrath of Man brings Jason Statham back to his roots. An action thriller that takes the viewer on a fun, action-packed ride.
Lucy in the Sky [2019]
It’s always a downer when talented artists pour everything they’ve got into a film that stubbornly refuses to come to life.
The Good Liar [2019]
The Good Liar is meant to be great. And it is! You can never go wrong when you face off Helen Mirren with Ian McKellen.
Friends: The Reunion [2021]
Friends wasn’t my favorite show growing up, yet HBO Max’s trailer for the reunion made me feel nostalgic and I ended up watching Friends: The Reunion.
Stardust [2020]
A revelatory road trip movie, Stardust chronicles how Ziggy Stardust came to be. Instead of getting another biographical concert, we get a very psychological movie that misses some marks.
Army of the Dead [2021]
Zac Snyder announces to the world that he’s back with Army of the Dead: An ambitious, over-the-top zombie heist mashup.
Sound of Metal [2019]
Riz Ahmed nailed every single part of his character in Sound of Metal. The movie deserved every single Academy Award nomination, and win.
Friendsgiving [2020]
Not the best, and definitely not the worse. Friendsgiving is scatty, untaxing but not nearly funny enough. A holiday comedy that is a laden table of side dishes, missing the meat.
Nomadland [2020]
Based on a book with the same name, Nomadland already won three out of its five nominations at the Academy Awards. It’s not really waiting for me to review it but here we are.
