Aquaman (2018)

To paraphrase Chris Pine’s ‘Darwin Tremor’ character from Joe Carnahan’s horribly underrated flick Smokin Aces – ‘Sometimes…Life just up n fucks ya.’ I say this because recently I’ve been distracted from my normal pace of review out-put by a Priority Situation in that a serious medical issue that has befallen someone very dear to me […]

Terminal (2018)

Style over substance. Admittedly, that’s the first thing that zipped through my mind as this one got going. But…that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Terminal is another of those small, but interesting-looking ‘film noir’ movies (along with Hotel Artemis) that popped onto The Scene in among all the expected Blockbusters that we were bombarded with […]

Live by Night (2016)

Occasionally a movie pops up in the theatre that I have every intention of checking out but, for whatever reason, I just don’t get the chance (damn you, Life!!!). This is one of those titles. My main two reasons for wanting to check it out were the directing talents of Ben Affleck, and the time […]

Overlord (2018)

As anyone who’s read even just a few of my past movie scribbles can attest…I’m a sucker for a good WW2 flick. And, it just so happens, that I’m also a fan of weird freaky Cronenbergian body-horror type shit too, so when I first heard murmurings of this flick’s existence, I was intrigued right off […]

Venom (2018)

While I was a huge comic book collector / nerd as a kid, Spider-Man wasn’t one of those heroes I glommed onto. I don’t know why…Spidey n I just never connected. Sure, I had a few issues, particularly the McFarlane run in the early 90’s, but I never went out of my way to seek […]

The Accountant (2016)

I always intended to hit this one up when it hit The Big Screen, but for some reason, Life got in the way…and I missed it. I generally like Ben Affleck, both as an actor and as a writer / director, so that had my attention already, but I was also intrigued by the high-concept […]

The Predator (2018)

Well, THAT…was astounding. Utterly and completely. This review is going to end up pretty much the exact opposite of what I had kinda sorta expected / hoped for. And it’s going to hurt a little bit too. For context, I love the ‘Predator’ franchise…mostly. The first one is a true 80’s classic that was surprisingly […]

The Meg (2018)

At this point, I feel like I’m repeating myself. In a couple recent reviews, I’ve bored you all to death with lil anecdotes about my love of sharks as a kid and my fear of the deep ocean due to NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK IS DOWN THERE! I strongly believe that there are…things…living down […]
