Army Of The Dead Review: Netflix and Snyder’s Latest Is A Pure Horse Manure

Devoid of any humor, logic, or tension, Army of the Dead is a disaster on almost every level – from Snyder’s direction, tempo, story, script, paper-thin and unlikeable characters, mediocre acting, to Snyder’s laughable tricks like slow motions, and shitty blurry camera effects. On top of that, even action sequences aren’t that well-executed and the movie is boring as hell. Avoid at all costs.

I’m Thinking Of Ending Things Review: Breaking Up With Reality

I’m Thinking Of Ending Things Review: Breaking Up With Reality

Netflix delivers a pleasant surprise for indie film lovers with Charlie Kaufman’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things. While the movie might be appealing to some, but also a little too overbearing for others, I’m Thinking of Ending Thing deviates from the standard Netflix formula and ends up being one of the most unique films we’ve seen on the platform so far.

Tenet Review: Nolan's Latest Is Overlong, Boring And Exhausting Action Thriller

Tenet Review: Nolan’s Latest Is Overlong, Boring And Exhausting Action Thriller

Tenet is a big, ambitious, complex, and original, but also overlong, boring, confusing, and exhausting narrative puzzle with a mediocre script and no character development. While you can’t deny craftsmanship on a technical level, Tenet is a movie you can’t engage emotionally. In the end, I just didn’t care about the characters or what’s happening in the movie.

Bill & Ted Face The Music Review Keanu Reeves

Bill & Ted Face The Music Review: Nostalgia-Fueled Time Travel Comedy

In what’s been a very atypical year, it seems fitting for atypical movies to be released. Such is the case of Bill & Ted Face The Music, the final entry in the Bill & Ted trilogy. It has just the right amount of nostalgia to keep you interested if you were already a fan of the franchise but does very little to attract new fans or to stand as its own independent movie.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service Review: The One With George Lazenby Where Bond Gets Married

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service Review: The One With George Lazenby Where Bond Gets Married

While not being the best or most popular entry in the series, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is one of the most faithful adaptations of source material and a solid Bond movie that tries a little more realistic and a different approach than his immediate predecessors, focusing more on telling an actual story instead on gadgets and action set pieces but unfortunately, a final result is a mixed bag.

You Only Live Twice Review James Bond The One With Blofeld And Secret Volcano Lair

You Only Live Twice Review: The One With Blofeld And Secret Volcano Lair

You Only Live Twice is a standard Bond flick. You got a villain with a nefarious plan bigger than life, secret underground lair, exotic locations, over-the-top action and Bond seducing pretty women, although YOLT has some of the least interesting Bond girls. Not the best Bond movie but also not the worst in the series.

Slice Of Life Review: Short SF Movie Set In Blade Runner World

Slice Of Life is a solid short SF film set in a Blade Runner world. Made the old school way relying on miniatures and practical effects instead of the use of CGI, the final result is actually a very good looking movie that could put to shame much more expensive Hollywood movies. Unfortunately, Slice Of Life resembles Blade Runner only visually as it doesn’t tackle any of the themes covered in Blade Runner or its sequel.

Thunderball Review: The One With Big Underwater Battle

Thunderball Review: The One With Big Underwater Battle

Known for its pretty innovative and well-made underwater fight scene, the fourth 007 big-screen adventure is, unfortunately, an overlong, boring, and ridiculous action movie without memorable villains and with dull action sequences.
