Movies
Quick movie, film, and documentary reviews from all around the world by and for the regular audience.
Book Club [2018]
What happens when four 60-something women start reading “50 Shades of Grey”? A fun and thrilling ride with a great cast.
Marvel Studio’s Black Widow [2021]
Marvel Studio’s Black Widow brought back Scarlet Johansson to the MCU, but she’s not the highlight of the movie. The movie avoids a disaster thanks to Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova.
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.
