The Last Duel – A Movie Review
On paper, The Last Duel had a lot going for it. Obviously, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Adam Driver are major draws due to their established talent. Jodie Comer, if you’re not familiar with her, is brilliant in Killing Eve, and I’m very happy to see her transitioning into major motion pictures. And, of course,…

The French Dispatch – A Movie Review
I truly wanted to see The French Dispatch when it was in theaters but simply couldn’t find the opportunity. Fortunately, it found its way to Blu-ray in record time. Thanks to my local library, I was able to watch it the other night. The French Dispatch is Wes Anderson’s latest film. You know Wes Anderson…

Finch – A Movie Review
If you like any combination of dogs, robots, or Tom Hanks, Finch is perfect for you. Found on Apple TV+, Finch is an Apple Original Film starring Tom Hanks and … well, mostly just Tom Hanks. He’s an engineer who survived a massive solar flare that ultimately wiped out most of civilization. He happened to…

Werewolves Within – A Movie Review
I honestly had no idea this movie was based on a video game, nor did I really know anything about it. I wanted to see it for one simple reason, and one reason only–Sam Richardson. In my opinion, Sam Richardson is one of the funniest guys out there. I first discovered him on VEEP, and…

The Matrix Resurrections – A Movie Review
It’s all in the title, folks. The Matrix Resurrections is about bringing things back to life: characters, storylines, themes, a franchise. That being said … I liked The Matrix Resurrections. Bear in mind that I did not conduct a Matrix series re-watch before seeing Resurrections, but I watched the other Matrix movies enough over the…

The Power Of the Dog – A Movie Review
I remembered The Power Of the Dog having quite a bit of buzz last summer, so now that it’s available on Netflix, I thought I’d give it a try to see what the critics liked so much. If you’re unfamiliar with the premise, The Power Of the Dog takes place in 1925 on a ranch…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife – A Movie Review
I’ve always been a lifelong Ghostbusters fan. I loved the movies, had the toys, watched the cartoon, and even tried to make my own proton pack out of cardboard boxes back in the day. I constantly wanted more of Peter, Egon, Ray, Winston, and the rest of the gang up on the silver screen, but…

Free Guy – A Movie Review
I’ve been meaning to see Free Guy for awhile now because I heard it was really funny and had some great cameos. It finally arrived on DVD, so I checked it out at my local library because … as previously established … I like my movies free. I’ll be honest — the first hour dragged…

Netflix’s Red Notice – A Movie Review
Red Notice felt very much like the excuse we needed to get Dwyane Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds together in a movie. It’s not especially good, but it’s fun to watch the three of these stars work together, so there you go. Oh. I guess you need a bit more than that, huh? Okay,…
