Film Reviews
Film Review: “Mission: Impossible – The Final Rekoning (Review #2)
In McQuarrie’s world, there seems to be a proliferation of time bombs, and the tension of seeing yet another countdown diminishes when Ethan and company discover yet another explosive with a digital fuse.
Film Review: “Karate Kid: Legends”
Familiar, with lots of foreshadowing, “Karate Kid: Legends” obviously hopes to ride the tails of the recently ended Netflix series “Cobra Kai.”
FilmReview: “Mission:Impossible – The Final Reckoning”
I definitely recommend that you accept this mission.
Film Review: “Warfare”
“Warfare” succeeds at immersing viewers in Mendoza’s tour of duty, but it might have had more impact if he and Garland had come up for air more often.
Film Review: “The Electric State”
There is more to the story, of course, but it’s too painful to write about because it is just so bad.
Film Review: “The Surfer”
“The Surfer” is certainly absurd, but it takes itself too seriously to let Cage truly ham it up—or give us a character we want to endlessly root for.
Film Review: “A Desert”
I might have enjoyed or even recommended “A Desert” if it didn’t feel like I was piecing together a puzzle with several missing pieces.
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: “Mr. K”
“Mr. K” is shouting something. The question is: do you want to listen?
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: “Freaky Tales”
“Freaky Tales” is a messy, bold, and totally committed to the bit—and that’s what makes it worth watching
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: “Black Theta”
Even though the trailer and poster had me expecting another paint-by-numbers slasher, “Black Theta” goes for the jugular—and the funny bone.
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: “Marshmallow”
In some ways, “Marshmallow” is a lot like last year’s “In a Violent Nature,” both offer up a fresh take on slasher tropes we know and love, while helping modernize a genre that sometimes feels like it has nothing better to do than live in the 80s.
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: “Dooba Dooba”
With a basic setup, basic equipment, and a deceptively simple idea, “Dooba Dooba” manages to deliver a CCTV-fueled nightmare.
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: Hell of a Summer
While “Hell of a Summer” boasts a fun cast, decent laughs, and all-around good vibes, it doesn’t stand out
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: The Spirit of Halloweentown
It’s not Halloweentown that binds them—it’s the town of St. Helens itself, and the people who make it what it is.
Film Review: “Snow White” (2025)
Also, apparently Ziegler was directed to never blink and her constant, wide eyed stare is pretty unnerving at times.
Panic Fest 2025 Film Review: Carry the Darkness
“Carry the Darkness” is a compelling watch for anyone who spent their youth dodging bullies, reading Clive Barker, or blasting Slayer on their bedroom stereo.
Film Review: “A Complete Unknown” (Review #2)
“A Complete Unknown” is a lot to take in, but Mangold keeps a steady pace by not doing a lot of jumping forwards and backwards.
Film Review: “Novocaine”
If you need to jump start your spirits this week then I recommend seeing “Novocaine.” It’s Pure Adrenaline!
Film Review: “Flight Risk”
There is a little sense of suspense and mystery generated towards the end as Dockery speaks with her superiors over the radio, and when she tries to land the plane.
