Evil Dead Burn
It doesn’t seem possible, but Evil Dead Burn may actually be the goriest entry in the Evil Dead series. The excessive violence and cackling dismembered Deadite heads fit the tone of the last few installments. The 3rd film, Army of Darkness and the TV show Ash vs Evil Dead are much more comedic than 2013’s…

Supergirl
3 outta 5 Supergirl is the second film of the once again rebooted DC Universe after 2025’s Superman but tonally it could have fit into the old DCEU Snyder-verse. More than anything, this movie feels of a piece of director Craig Gillespie’s previous output like I, Tonya, Cruella, Pam and Tommy and Fright Night. His…

Disclosure Day
4 outta 5 Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg going back to space aliens, a topic he excels at, with 2005’s War of the Worlds so far sitting at the top of 21st Century Spielberg movies. This movie is less about murderous aliens and more about unknowable awe and possessed folk of Close Encounters of the…

Masters of the Universe
4 outta 5 Masters of the Universe is intentionally corny and camp adaptation of the toy line and animated series, which itself was pretty campy. The show and comics was primarily a venue to sell toys, a sci-fi action line that Mattel made up after kicking themselves for passing on Star Wars. There’s a decent…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
4 outta 5 The Mandalorian and Grogu, a spin-off of the Disney Plus show, is fun and action packed. Very action packed. It is so action packed that the film is basically a constant string of action scenes that may be a bit wearying after a while. There are a few characters pulled from previous…

Remarkably Bright Creatures
4 outta 5 Remarkably Bright Creatures is a heap of melodrama and coincidence but it manages to be heartfelt and effective, with the help of a narrator Octopus and a hellova emotional performance by the leads. The twists at the end are a bit unbelievable but work emotionally. Also the geek cred in Remarkably Bright…

Mortal Kombat II
4 outta 5 Mortal Kombat II is a movie that acknowledges its video game roots. When the game first came out in the 90s it set off a moral panic, sold a bunch of copies, dumped a lot of quarters into arcades, spawned a bunch of spin-offs, adaptations, sequels with an ever deepening lore. This…

The Devil Wears Prada 2
4 outta 5 The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a worthy 20 years later sequel to the original film. It features a really apt storyline about mergers, buyouts, layoffs and how mega corporate moves are erasing publishing history. While the boss is still very snarky, she seems to have warmed slightly; she is less the…

Balls Up
2 outta 5 Balls Up is a very dumb movie directed by Peter Farrelly who often tracks in Dumb and Dumber movies (and also Oscar winning Best Picture, Green Book). It has a doofy duo yelling at each other and making horrible decisions that quickly go wrong. It has a tangentially World Cup related plot…

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
4 outta 5 As far as buddy gangster time travel movies go, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is unique. The time travel aspect is kooky and nonsensical, but works for the characters’ story. There are a lot of quips from everyone that keeps things light, and yet the emotional bits hit hard. But…
