We have heard some critics call this one of the worst movies ever made, and we have to disagree with that statement. Yes, it is offensive, contrived, and derivative, but it is not without some laughs. We laughed a reasonable amount during the firs... Read the full review »

We found this to be an entertaining movie overall. The imagery and cinematography can be quite striking. The scenery is beautiful and makes for great eye candy. It looks and feels like a story from 20,000 years ago, more so than something like "10... Read the full review »

The way some shots are framed is very distracting. There is the overabundance of quick-cuts throughout each of the action scenes. Iko Uwais is a fantastic martial arts action star, so why cut the film in a way that diminishes the marvelous fight c... Read the full review »

It's easy to write "The Meg" off as stupid and cheesy and leave it at that. To us, that's a bit unfair because we fully expected it to be dumb. In fact, we wanted it to be ridiculous and idiotic and a lot of mindless fun. Unfortunately, it only ge... Read the full review »

...underneath the glitter, gold, and jewel-encrusted facade, at its core, this film is a mostly formulaic romantic comedy. It is pretty predictable and uses many tried and true romance tropes, like the disapproving wealthy mother, the boisterous b... Read the full review »

Have you ever watched a movie that made you so angry and sad because you know that everything in its story has probably actually happened somewhere, someway, to someone? That's how we felt watching The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018). This fil... Read the full review »

We had a lot of fun watching this comedy. It offered up a steady stream of laughter from both BigJ and I. Even if the laughs weren't big belly laughs, constant chuckling has got to count for something. Kate McKinnon is on point here, proving once... Read the full review »

There is an undeniable nostalgic joy when we watch any movie (animated or otherwise) where Winnie the Pooh come to life on the screen in front of us. Hearing the Winnie the Pooh song tinkering in the background, hearing Pooh speak his funny, littl... Read the full review »

It is hard to think of a movie that better encapsulates the thorny and tricky hormonal state of constant embarrassment that we call middle school. "Eighth Grade" takes a brutally honest, devastatingly relatable look at what it's like to grow up in... Read the full review »

We entered this movie screening with no expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised by how humorous, enjoyable, and meta the whole experience was. We laughed consistently, and a lot, throughout the whole thing. This film pokes fun at the entire... Read the full review »

The "Mission: Impossible" series has only gotten better in recent years. Luckily, "Fallout" continues that trend tenfold. This is the most intense, action-packed installment in the series, which is a high bar considering films 3-5. We went the ent... Read the full review »

People who are fans of the original "The Equalizer" (like us!) know what they wanted from this sequel: Denzel Washington as Robert McCall kicking unbelievable amounts of ass for two hours... The parts of the film where McCall isn't beating the cra... Read the full review »

This movie is extremely imitative from other books and films, so much so that there are scenes and lines directly ripped from other works, including but not limited to "Star Wars," "X-Men," "The Hunger Games," "Divergent," and many more. There is... Read the full review »

As the story is uncovered, we are fed information bit by bit as the film shifts into a tale steeped in guilt and paranoia that turns the whole village on its head. As these two strangers walk through town to their eventual destination, chaos erupt... Read the full review »

The film is a methodically paced study about their relationship. It isn't steeped in sharp dialogue, suspense, or endless drama. It is not a thrill ride, but rather a leisurely stroll through the woods that takes a long time, though you haven't ac... Read the full review »

We believe deep down, "Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot" wants to be more profound than it is. It is a true-life character sketch about one man's struggle with alcoholism, but because of the way the film is structured, we really don't see Cal... Read the full review »

This film takes a look at the ugly, exploitative business of human trafficking. "Coyotes" exploit migrant workers and treat them like animals. Even if these migrants make it across the border, they don't get treated much better here. It may be a b... Read the full review »

It's difficult to accurately describe the true experience of watching a movie like "Sorry To Bother You." On the one hand, it is a darkly comedic and socially conscious satire. On the other hand, it is so much more bizarre and "out there" than we... Read the full review »
