House of Gucci (*****) – Don’t you want me?
House of Gucci is a powerful and concise film. It gives us the clear vision of what happens when a family inherits a vision that they don’t fully understand or even deserve.
The Cursed (***1/2) is serious
Reilly gives back all the ground she has gained as Beth in Yellowstone, but that is fine. One can’t verbally abuse a cursed beast that is taking the village apart.
In Between (*1/2) is not far enough
They have a debate on the authenticity of Titanic, because of course they would.
The King’s Man (****) is not without sacrifice
Some might think the story silly for the fact that they often bring swords to gunfights. In the end, both are well-played.
Netflix Texas Chainsaw Massacre (**) – Once more into the ditch
Oh well. It is what it is: a slaughterfest with barely sketched out characters.
Mayem (*1/2) and now for something not so different
…this film makes its fellow office massacre film The Belko Experiment look like Shakespeare.
Marry Me (**1/2) Thanks, but no thanks
Marry Me is a romantic comedy without the comedy. It’s Notting Hill without the depth of character.
Daily Wire’s Shut In (*** 1/2) – Uses the best parts
This film is a tough watch, but it is worthy. One should not watch this nor should they avoid it simply because of who produced it.
Resident Evil – Welcome to Racoon City (*1/2) Here’s blood in your eye
This film is appreciable for it’s dedication for recreating the original stories. The problem is, the story is better when you are playing a video game at 3 a.m. all hopped up on Mountain Dew.
Antlers (****) earns our fears
The atmosphere is such that it gave me tangential nightmares the night I saw them. Not many films do this anymore.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (***) – All you are is blind
If nothing esle, the movie gives us some depth to what feels like an incredibly trite characterization living in memory.
Scream (***1/2) is still Scream 5
The sins of this film are outweighed by a brisk pace and some pretty gruesome kills.
Morgan (**1/2) feels like a prelude
The film doesn’t hold up, but with perhaps a bit more story, it’s premise could be really something.
The 355 (***) We’re spies, asshole
It’s not easy to love this film. It’s relatively easy to like, just for the women’s talent alone.
The Matrix: Resurrections (***1/2) Old Code, Something New?
It wouldn’t hurt to show a single blade of grass growing in some dirt. All in good time, I suppose. Maybe part 5?
The Card Counter (****) is solid Schrader
Schrader is not everyone’s cup of tea. Some of us like our tea as dark as the blackest coffee on a cold, bleak morning.
