Plane: Review

2023. R. 107 mins. Directed by Jean-Francois Richet Gerard Butler has become one of the bigger action stars over the last 15+ years. From 300 to his Olympus Has Fallen series he's made a name for himself taking on the tough guy roles. While not all his movies are exactly quality hits Butler has managed to keep his roles consistent and he continues to keep getting them just about once a year now. Plane is the latest in his filmography and is arguably one of the best action movies in his career. Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) is an airline pilot who is piloting a commercial aircraft during a terrible storm. The aircraft only has a handful of passengers on board but Brodie it determined to do whatever he can to make it through the storm. When the plane loses all of it's power Brodie manages to land the plane on an unknown island with minor casualties. Once on the island the passengers find themselves in the middle of a war zone lead by a group of local rebels. The rebels end up

You People: Review

2023. R. 117 mins. Directed by Kenya Barris It seems like every few years we get a new movie about two people falling in love from different backgrounds. When it's time to meet their family's chaos and comedy is supposed to ensue. You People is the latest attempt to try and reinvent this subgenre of romantic comedies. Unfortunately, despite its talented cast the movie doesn't do much to make itself memorable or set itself apart from other movies that are similar. This is a very straightforward movie in its setup. Jonah Hill stars as Ezra who ends up falling in love with Amira played by Lauren London. Before he can ask her to marry him, he wants to get the approval of her parents played by Eddie Murphy and Nia Long. Amira's parents aren't sure how to feel about their daughter getting married to a white man, but Ezra is determined to win them over. At the same time Amira is tempted to win over Ezra's parents played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny. Both

Shooting Stars | Review

2023. PG-13. Directed by Chris Robinson Shooting Stars tells the story of a young LeBron James as he and his childhood best friends become one of the best high school basketball teams of all time and change the dynamic of high school basketball for years to come. While not necessarily adding anything new to the genre, Director Chris Robinson is able to put together a competent sports movie that not only showcases the rise of one of the greatest athletes of all time but also shows the struggle and hard work put in by these young men to become a team that will go down in history as one of the best. This movie is based on the book of the same name written by LeBron James and Buzz Bissinger. Despite James being one of the writers of the book the movie does a good job at not just solely focusing on him and allowing time to be spent with the other boys in his group. The first half of movie focuses more on Dru (Caleb McLaughlin) and his family but still spends time with LeBron and their oth

Head Count | Review

2023. R. 80 mins. Directed by Ben & Jacob Burghart Head Count follows Kat, an escaped convict who has been kidnapped by an unknown person. While being held captive Kat finds his own revolver pointed at his head. As his captor tries to pull the trigger, each empty round clicks away and sparks Kat to remember what happened to each bullet. The pressure mounts as Kat must figure out how many rounds are left and try to devise a plan to escape. Directors Ben and Jacob Burghart have put together a tight neo-noir thriller that steps on the gas early and doesn't let up until the end. The story itself is highly engaging as we watch the character Kat try and navigate through many different situations ultimately landing himself in hot water almost every time. Josh Doke, along with the Burghart brothers, put forth a solid script that keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen next around every turn. Despite its short run time there are enough tense moments that will keep you glued

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 | Review

2023. PG-13. 150 mins. Directed by James Gunn When the Guardians of the Galaxy made their debut on the big screen in 2014 a lot of audiences were unfamiliar with the characters. Despite that the movie went on to be a huge success and spawned a sequel that went on to be extremely successful as well. We've now seen the Guardians in two Avengers movies, a Thor movie and they even had their own holiday special last year. Vol. 3 is the supposed finale to this team of Guardians and will be a send off for most of the characters. If this is the end for most of the characters they couldn't have went out on a higher note because this movie rules. This time around we follow the Guardians as they are in a time crunch to save one of their own. Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) becomes badly injured at the hands of a new foe Adam Warlock (Will Poulter). When the team tries to tend to his wounds they find out they can't as Rocket has a mechanism inside of him that won't allow
