Rebel Moon – A Movie Review
Zack Snyder’s most recent foray into the realm of sci-fi action, Rebel Moon, is a cinematic extravaganza that puts his distinctive style and creative vision on full display. Transporting audiences to a distant moon, the film unfolds a narrative where a stranger aids villagers in their struggle against a tyrannical ruling power. While the movie…

Netflix’s The Fall Of the House Of Usher – A Few Thoughts
I am an unabashed fan of Mike Flanagan, who brought us such shows as The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and The Haunting of Bly Manor. When I heard the modern day master of horror intended to tackle Edgar Allan Poe, it seemed like a match made in heaven … well, maybe not heaven,…

Netflix’s The Sandman – A Few Thoughts
I had my doubts when news broke that Netflix would release a series featuring The Sandman. This particular piece of literary greatness has been the focus of many, many would-be screen adaptations over the years, and none quite reached fruition. Furthermore, of late, Netflix has not bolstered my confidence in its overall quality. Honestly, even…

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…

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,…

Netflix’s Army Of Thieves – A Movie Review
Remember when Army Of the Dead came out and then, within days, it was revealed that another movie featuring Dieter was currently in the works? Dieter’s film would be the beginning of a shared universe built around Army Of the Dead. I remember wondering why they would start this endeavor with Dieter the safecracker. Sure,…

Netflix’s Midnight Mass – A Few Thoughts
Though it took me a bit to find the time, I was very excited to watch Midnight Mass on Netflix. Midnight Mass is created by Mike Flanagan, who also created The Haunting Of Hill House and The Haunting Of Bly Manor. In fact, you’ll find several of the same actors in all three shows. Like…

Gunpowder Milkshake – A Movie Review
There’s a lot to like about Gunpowder Milkshake. It’s a star-studded action movie with plenty of style and pop. Karen Gillan has paid her dues since Dr. Who, and it’s wonderful to see her in a big-budget starring role. Let’s not forget about Hollywood stalwarts such as Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh,…

Army Of the Dead – A Movie Review
As far as zombie movies set in Las Vegas go, Army Of the Dead was more than entertaining. I can’t claim this film was cinematic genius. I can’t argue it shifted the paradigm regarding zombies. I can’t even say it was the best zombie movie out there. However, I can truthfully proclaim that, if you’re…

Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy – A Few Thoughts
If you take a look at Rotten Tomatoes, you’ll see that critics have quite a different take on Jupiter’s Legacy than does the audience. I’m here to tell you, in this case, the critics have it wrong. I’ll admit, Netflix almost lost me on the first episode of Jupiter’s Legacy. It seemed a little too…
