The Power of

This turn of the century, boring western has absolutely no bite.

Coming To America 2

Pathetic.
Lousy script.
Lousy acting.
A total waste
of time.

 

0
STARS
Thunder Force

Overweight women, one smart and one dumb, are superheroes.
Predictable.

 


Rave and the
Last Dragon

Creative script,
great voice
acting, but
mediocre
animation.


Cosmic Sin

A standard
science fiction
"B-Movie,"
with Bruce
Willis and
Frank Grillo.


Justice League

This is the
"epic" that
should have
been released.

 


Nobody

Creative
casting make
this poorly
scripted film
interesting.

 


Stowaway


Exceptional
acting, but
the absence of
science and
common
sense ruin
this S/F film.

STAR
Mortal Combat

The 1995 film
is so much
better, and that's not saying much.

 


Black Widow

Tis. Tis. Tis.
Such a waste.

TBD
STARS
Wrath of Man

To be
determined.

 


Those Who Wish Me Dead

As always,
Angelina Jolie
is compelling
to watch, but
script is
predictable.


0
STAR
A Quiet Place 2

As dumb as
the first film.
Stupid script.

 


Cruella

Creative script, solid acting, and strong direction make this an enjoyable
film.

 

0
STARS
Fast and Furious 9

Dumb story. Dumb script. Pathetic franchise rehashes the same ole crap.

 


Infinite

Conceptually
similar to
"Edge of
Tomorrow,
" but
without the
charisma.


The Misfits

Story mirrors TNT's "Leverage" but not nearly as good. Pierce Brosnan is always
watchable.

 


Queen Bees

An excellent
cast gives
class to this
predictable but very enjoyable
film. Ellen Burstyn shines!

 


Hitman's Wife's
Bodyguard

The actors,
action, and humor drive
this film;
the script
means
nothing.


Ice Road

The setting is
just as cold, but
film is not nearly
as enjoyable
as Neeson's
"Cold Pursuit."


The Tomorrow War

Conceptually
similar to
"Edge of
Tomorrow,
" but
without the
charisma.


Gunpowder Milkshake

Essentially,
it's "The Kingsmen" or "John Wick,"
but with
women.

 

0
STARS
Nobody

Dumb story. Dumb script.
Hopefully,
there will
NEVER be another
sequel.

 

1
STAR
Snake Eyes

Yet, another
prequel or whatever that covers the
same ground.

 

 

1
STAR
The Suicide Squad

Yet, another
re-make or sequel or whatever that covers the
same ground.

 


Sweet Girl

Creative script, solid acting, and strong direction make this an enjoyable
film.

 


Cry Macho

Yes, Clint is old and he looks old, and he still delivers.

 

NO
STARS
Don't Look Up

"Mars Attacks!" from 1996 covers the same ground of political and media indifference,
but better.
