I don’t know what “The Goldfinch” purists will make out of this big screen adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning book, but even the best ones tend to fall a bit short, especially in the eyes of those dedicated readers. With that aside, I thought the film version […]
It’s not quite as focused or scary as the first movie, but there’s something truly irresistible about revisiting the small town of Derry, where Pennywise the clown terrorized seven children back in 1989 and gave audiences a run for their money. Now all grown up, our heroes have […]
This OK french Netflix comedy about two buddies who spend a wild night at their middle school reunion isn’t as bad as it sounds. At just 80 minutes, it has some funny moments here and there and doesn’t overstay its welcome. It does cover familiar grounds, for sure, […]
A half-decent movie is a rare thing to find on Netflix, so I have to give “The Perfection” credit for keeping me intrigued. I knew absolutely nothing about it prior to seeing it, so it was up to director Richard Shepard and his team of writers to keep […]
A movie about Ted Bundy, the serial killer who caused mayhem during his trial in the late 1970’s after he brutally murdered dozens of young women, wasn’t something I was looking forward to. But having seen the terrific Netflix documentary “The Ted Bundy Tapes”, I decided to give […]

This mediocre follow-up to 2017’s “47 Meters Down” finds more group of friends trapped underwater with deadly Great White Sharks surrounding them. The first film wasn’t innovative in any way, but it was suspenseful enough and had some solid scares to validate its existence. The new one, while […]
This horrible sequel to the equally horrible “London Has Fallen” is the worst blockbuster you’ll encounter this year. 2013’s “Olympus” was the most generic action mess you could think of. So why on earth did it spawn two sequels? And why on earth are audiences still paying to […]
Every Quentin Tarantino movie is an event and should be treated as such. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, his 9th movie, is also his first non-Western film since 2009’s “Inglorious Basterds’. But he’s not too far-off (Heck, Even the title of the movie is a nod to […]
I know I’m a bit late coming to this movie, but having heard a lot of things about it ever since its release on Netflix earlier year, I finally decided to give it a shot. If you’re not familiar with it, “Bandersnatch” is supposedly the “first” interactive movie […]
