The Whale (2022)
Brendan Fraser won the Oscar for Best Actor in a role as a morbidly obese man whose life is mired in problems. "The Whale" is mostly a boring recitation of someone's personal woes and grudges in life, with overrated performances by Fraser and his co-star Hong Chau, [..]
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" picks up right where "Shazam!" (2019) ended, with Billy Batson and his foster siblings on the move to fight Hespera and Kalypso, two daughters of Atlas, who are up to all kinds of mischief. Zachary Levi employs his usual amount of talent [..]
Jesus Revolution (2023)
One of the more successful faith-based films of recent years has been this year's "Jesus Revolution." It is the true story of Pastor Chuck Smith and the beginnings of his Calvary Chapel movement in Costa Mesa, California, in the late 1960's. The church was floundering until [..]
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
The exciting 31st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is out and is called "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." Producer Kevin Feige, director Peyton Reed, and screenwriter Jeff Loveness have filled this two-hour motion picture with a thrilling storyline and loads of action, so much so that [..]
Creed III (2023)
Michael B. Jordan makes an impressive directorial debut with a movie that he stars in called "Creed III." Jordan skillfully guided the making of this third film about boxer Adonis "Donnie" Johnson in a skillful manner that holds the audience's attention for nearly two hours. The [..]
65 (2023)
"65" is a mediocre science fiction film about an astronaut who crash lands on a planet that turns out to be earth some 65 million years ago. This poorly executed movie was produced, directed, and written by the filmmaking duo of Scott Beck and Bryan Woods ("Haunt" 2019); [..]
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Producer-director Chad Stahelski has come out with a spectacular third sequel to "John Wick" (2014) called "John Wick: Chapter 4." He has retained the taut story lines, tense drama, and amazingly choreographed shooting scenes that characterized the first three "John Wick" movies of 2014, 2017, and 2019. Shay [..]
You People (2023)
Director Kenya Barris (tv show "black-ish" 2014-2022) and screenwriter Noah Hill collaborated on a romantic comedy film that also serves as a commentary on ethnic, religious, and race relations in upper-crust Los Angeles called "You People." The result is some good comedy that has had some negative [..]
Bitcon (2022)
Producer-director Matt Osterman ("400 Days" 2016) put together a loser of a film called "Bitcon." It is the story of a missing hard drive loaded with hundreds of thousands of dollars of cryptocurrency, with numerous people on a search for it. The lackluster screenplay by Osterman [..]
Don’t Worry Darling (2022)
Producer-director Olivia Wilde has created a psychological thriller drama film that she also stars in called "Don't Worry Darling." This story about a seemingly perfect couple living in a company town has striking similarities to "The Stepford Wives" (1975) and "Westworld" (1973). Sloppy direction by Wilde [..]
