Good Burger 2 - Movie Review

2023. PG. 90 mins. Directed by Phil Traill In 1997, Nickelodeon decided to try out a sketch from their hit TV show, All That , as a full-length movie. While Good Burger didn't make much noise at the box office it has gone on to become a cult classic among kids that were born in the 90's. Now, 26 years later, Paramount brings back Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as their lovable characters Dexter and Ed as they set off on a new adventure in Good Burger 2 . Does this sequel live up to the mildly funny comedy from the 90's or did they wait too long to put a sequel together? This is a case of a little bit of both. The issue with so many of the recent sequels, remakes, reboots and requels is that the filmmakers are having to cater to two different audiences. On the one hand you want to have something for the people who grew up with the first movie, but you also want to have something to attract a new and younger audience to the product as well. Unfortunately, Good Burger 2 do

The Little Mermaid (2023) | Review

2023. PG. 135 mins. Directed by Rob Marshall Over the last decade or so, Disney has been set on remaking most of their animated classics into live action movies. Outside of a few of them, most not only are nowhere near the quality of the original movies but also do nothing to capture that magic that audiences have enjoyed for many years. For me, the only live action remake that has surpassed the quality of the original is Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book from 2016. Despite mixed reactions to most of these remakes they continue to perform well at the box office so Disney continues making them. Now we have their live action version of The Little Mermaid, arguably one of their best animated movies. With a great cast and a competent director behind the camera this has all the right pieces to be one of the better live action remakes. If you're not familiar with the story of The Little Mermaid it follows Ariel (Halle Bailey), a young mermaid who longs to discover the world above sea.

The Marvels - Movie Review

2023. PG-13. 105 mins. Directed by Nia DaCosta In 2019, Captain Marvel came on to the scene in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her solo movie gave audiences her backstory and introduced the character to a new generation of fans. Since her solo movie Captain Marvel has made a few appearances in other projects. She had a brief but somewhat memorable outing in Avengers: Endgame, then showed up for cameos in both Shang-Chi and the finale of Ms. Marvel. Now, Captain Marvel is teaming up with Monica Rambeau and Ms. Marvel to take on a new villain in The Marvels. The Marvels follows Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) as she sets off on a new mission. While on her mission she ends up having her powers entangled with her old friend Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and teenage fangirl Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani). Anytime any of the three use their powers they automatically switch places with one another and end up causing confusion not only to themselves but to everyone around them. Carol, Monica and Ka

Scream VI: Review

2023. R. 122 mins. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett The Scream franchise has remained one of the most consistent series in the horror genre. Despite a couple of movies being a tad underwhelming there isn't a bad movie in the franchise. That continues with Scream VI which is the follow up to last year's Scream (2022). This time around we follow the survivors of the previous movie; Sam (Melissa Barrera), Tara (Jenna Ortega), Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad (Mason Gooding), as they move out to New York. While there, a new Ghostface begins to terrorize their college campus beginning a new string of murders. With the help of a couple legacy characters, Gale (Courtney Cox) and Kirby (Hayden Panettiere), the remaining kids do everything they can to stop Ghostface once and for all. Being a direct follow up to the previous movie, Scream VI takes everything that worked last time and manages to ramp things up but also do certain things just different enough to m

Fast X | Review

2023. PG-13. 141 mins. Directed by Louis Leterrier The Fast Saga continues with Fast X! Here we are at the tenth entry, eleventh if you count the spinoff, in the never-ending series about cars and driving them fast. If you're coming into a Fast & Furious movie you pretty much know what you're getting into. Dom and the family get involved in some kind of convoluted plot revolving around one enemy or a specific device and the cars go fast. Seems basic but that is how most of these movies tend to go. This time around they go toe to toe with the son of Hernan Reyes, the villain from Fast Five, Dante (Jason Momoa) as he is out to get revenge on Dom and the crew for the death of his father. This series has seen its ups and downs but there's one thing that always seems to stay consistent, insanely over the top action sequences that defy any bits of reality. There is no shortage of that here as we get a car pulling down two helicopters at the same time as well as a car drivin
