Deadpool and Wolverine (2024) | Review

2024 | R | 127 mins. | Directed by Shawn Levy Deadpool and Wolverine sees Marvel finally bringing both characters into the MCU. With Phase 4 and 5 both regarded as being hit or miss, Marvel has needed a smash hit and something that will make the fans run out to the theater. Teaming up two of their best characters and banking on nostalgia seems like a sure thing. After all, Spider-Man: No Way Home has been the biggest movie for Marvel since Avengers Endgame and that movie brought out all the nostalgia. So, does the movie live up to the hype or does it fall short of such high expectations? For me, the movie more than lives up to the hype. Right out of the gate this movie lets you know exactly what you're in store for. A huge fight sequence including Deadpool killing many different people in very comical ways and spraying mass amounts of blood sets the tone for what's to come. From there on the movie keeps up with the violence and action as well as being consistently hilarious t

Rebel Ridge (2024) | Review

2024. 131 mins. Directed by Jeremy Saulnier Rebel Ridge follows the story of Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre), an ex-Marine who is on his way to post bail for his cousin. Along the way he is stopped by two police officers who end up taking the cash he planned to use to bail out his cousin, as they believe it to be drug money. This puts Terry in a bind as he needed to get that money to the courthouse that day. When he is denied the ability to bail out his cousin, Terry attempts to file a police report against the officers who took his money. The chief of police (Don Johnson) for the small town gets involved and things escalate causing Terry to do whatever it takes to get his cousin out. Director/writer Jeremy Saulnier has put together one hell of a movie here. With Saulnier directing and writing the script, his vision is really brought to life on screen. The combination of great camera work, stellar action sequences and great performances from the cast all work flawlessly because of Saul

I Saw The TV Glow (2024) | Review

2024. PG-13. 100 mins. Directed by Jane Schoenbrun Synopsis: Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show, a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen's view of reality begins to crack. I Saw The TV Glow is the perfect example of a movie that has so much potential to be great but doesn't stick the landing in its execution. Director/Writer Jane Schoenbrun has an interesting vision for the story at hand and there are some great themes spread out throughout the movie. However, all the interesting ideas never feel like they are fleshed out enough and when the movie comes to an extremely abrupt ending, it all just feels like it led up to nothing worthwhile. This is a movie about finding your true self and being who you really are inside, but all that gets lost in a muddled story that loses itself by the end. There are glimpses of a truly gr

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) | Review

2024 | PG-13 | 115 mins | Directed by Gil Kenan The latest entry in the Ghostbusters franchise is here. Frozen Empire takes the franchise back to the firehouse in New York City as we follow the Spengler clan taking part in their new roles as Ghostbusters. A mysterious artifact is brought out for the first time in almost 100 years, and it contains a new threat that could possibly cause a new ice age. With the help of some friends and the original Ghostbusters, our heroes will stop at nothing to take down this new evil. First and foremost, it is great to have this cast back together. Ghostbusters: Afterlife set up a great family dynamic and it continues here in Frozen Empire. Adding in the character of Gary (Paul Rudd) as more of stepdad this time around adds even more to the dynamic. The biggest highlight of the movie is the cast of characters. Everyone from the OG cast to the newer crew, all put in great performances, and they play off of one another quite well. From start to finish,

Five Nights At Freddy's (2023) | Review

2023. PG-13. 109 mins. Directed by Emma Tammi Video game movies continue to be an interesting subgenre. It is not an easy task turning a game into a movie and over the years it's been easy to see why. Outside of a couple movies there really aren't many most audiences would consider to be good. While the ambition is typically there, more often they tend to fall shy of the potential set forth by the game. Five Nights at Freddy's is the latest game to get the movie treatment and unfortunately it doesn't do much to improve the genre. Mike (Josh Hutcherson) is a down on his luck security guard who has recently been fired from his job. He is in need of finding something soon as he takes care of his younger sister Abby. Their aunt doesn't think Mike is a suitable guardian for Abby and wants to take custody of her. To keep this from happening and show that he can find a job he takes a night job at a local run down family entertainment spot called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
