It’s not a stretch to say the release of the 2016 all-female Ghostbusters remake was, well, a disaster. I’d first like to point out that the vitriol and sexist/racist comments hurled toward the incredible performers was absolutely terrible. Ghostbusters redux was, honestly, a funny film. Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones were…

Note: This film is currently available on SuperChannel to watch today. There is an entire subset of our population that lives for the type of schmaltzy, holiday film like It Takes A Christmas Village. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck to the LifeTime or Hallmark network watching adorable snowbound romantic comedies, then I guarantee It…

The enigmatic, oft-troubled Diana Spencer is given the biopic treatment here in a beautiful, intimate portrait that may be one of the best films for all involved. It follows the princess during Christmas holidays, and her difficult realization at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk that she just doesn’t fit in with the family. Consistently looked…

The number one reason people are upset about Eternals is that it isn’t what they’ve come to expect from Marvel films. But my main issue with that line of thinking is this film was never supposed to be. It’s the most diverse cast, features incredible character exploration, quiet, reflective moments and more development than explosions.…

The story of the fashion icon Gucci family is a larger-than-life tale, and powerhouse Ridley Scott treats the material with the verve and unhinged energy it requires. Some of the biggest detractors of this one either say it went too far or it didn’t go far enough, a hilarious dichotomy that proves one thing –…

This is a reprint of my theatrical review for Raging Fire, which releases on BluRay Nov. 23. Go pick it up! Seriously! To say I’m a fan of foreign-language films is an understatement. I find the nuances, character development and overall quality to be higher than North American cinema in many regards. With Raging Fire,…

This larger-than-life film about the documentary following the rise, fall and eventual redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Baker has one thing going for it – It is never, not for one second, boring. The characters come to absolute life, the comedic moments sing, and the dramatic dial is turned up to 12. But the only…

Though Billy Crystal is a living comedy legend, I couldn’t help but feel his performance in Here Today was just a little cathartic. The film – which he directs, co-wrote and stars in – follows an aging comedian who’s past his prime, but still respected for his values, ideas and the pioneering work he did…

I should first and foremost tell you that I love animated movies. Gags that made me howl might make more discerning adults cringe. But if you’re looking for entertaining, adorable fare that works for everyone, you cannot do better than Boss Baby: Family Business right now. The film, which is an improvement on the original,…

What do you get when you combine a moderately successful horror-thriller with a rushed sequel? The intensely underwhelming Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. While the original 2019 film managed to capitalize on the crazy of escape rooms in modern culture and put a deathly twist on it, this one feels bleak, boring and markedly less…
