The Last Rodeo (2025) | Review

  2025 | PG | 118 mins | Directed by Jon Avnet Angel Studios is a relatively new studio that has set out to make more wholesome and family-oriented films. They clearly want to set themselves apart from the studios coming out of Hollywood and so far, they have had moderate success. The Last Rodeo is their latest feature film starring Neal McDonough, who seems to be becoming a mainstay for the studio. McDonough also co-writes the movie alongside Derek Presley and director Jon Avnet. Everyone involved clearly has the best intentions when making this movie, but, unfortunately, the execution is truly abysmal. Neal McDonough plays Joe Wainwright, a former rodeo star who had to retire after a several injuries. He spends his days working on his farm and trying to maintain a relationship with his daughter Sally (Sarah Jones). Joe learns that his grandson Cody has a brain tumor, the same type of tumor that his wife passed away from. Insurance will only cover so much of the surgery, but Joe a...

Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025) | Review

  2025 | R | 110 mins | Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein It has been 14 years since the last Final Destination movie hit theaters. Over the course of the 2000s, and early 2010s, the Final Destination franchise has been one of the most consistent horror franchises around. Featuring a straightforward storyline that allows for the filmmakers to be creative when it comes to killing of its characters, the franchise has been extremely popular since the beginning. Except for The Final Destination, the fourth movie in the franchise, every movie in this series has plenty of fun and entertaining moments of people getting killed in ridiculous ways. Final Destination: Bloodlines manages to continue the fun despite some negatives that keep it from reaching its full potential. This time around, the movie follows Stefani, a college student who is having nightmares about a tragic accident from the 1960s. Stefani discovers that these nightmares are of a premonition that her estranged gra...

Fight or Flight (2024) | Review

  2024 | R | 102 mins | Directed by James Madigan Over the last few years Josh Hartnett has slowly made his way back into the limelight. While never completely leaving acting, for a while he was only popping up in a few things here and there. None of which was all that noteworthy. Now with roles in movies like Wrath of Man, Oppenheimer and Trap, Hartnett is starting to make a name for himself once again. Fight or Flight sees him taking a different role than he's played in a while, as a mercenary who is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, a committed performance by Hartnett isn't enough to make Fight or Flight worthwhile. The movie follows Josh Hartnett plays Lucas Reyes, a mercenary who is hired for a job where he must board a plane to track down a target. While on the plane he ends up having to protect the target from many killers who are not only trying to kill his target, but also Lucas himself. Together, Lucas and Isha (Charithra Chandran), must join forces to ta...
