Movie Review: Baywatch

The MountainMan has been completely adamant that this movie would fail. I won’t lie. I was on that band wagon as well. Seriously ask yourself, how many times can The Rock improve/safe/make a franchise from nothing? We found out with Baywatch. “When a dangerous crime wave hits the beach, the legendary Mitch Buchannon leads his elite squad of lifeguards on a mission to prove that you don't have to wear a badge to save the bay. Joined by a trio of hotshot recruits, including for

‘A young street magician is left to care for his little sister after their parents' passing and turns to illegal activities to keep a roof over their heads. When he gets in too deep, his sister is kidnapped and he is forced to use his magic and brilliant mind to save her.’ 5.9/10 IMDb rating 62% Metacritc 72% Rotten Tomatoes So this film has been on my watch list for some time since I've seen the trailer back in 2016.

Movie Review: Transformers: The Last Knight

I got a bone to pick with this film. Actually I think everyone who went to see this film has some choice words for it. Michael Bay boasting that this was his final installation of the Transformers franchise may as well killed it. Oddly enough I am happy he did. “Humans are at war with the Transformers, and Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving the future lies buried in the secrets of the past and the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Now, it's up to the unlikely all

The horrible movie playlist keeps on going. This time I watched The Mummy with Tom Cruise. Understanding this is the flagship to what is to be the MonsterVerse that is being built, this tomb should have remained buried. “Nick Morton is a soldier of fortune who plunders ancient sites for timeless artifacts and sells them to the highest bidder. When Nick and his partner come under attack in the Middle East, the ensuing battle accidentally unearths Ahmanet, a betrayed Egyptian p

How in god’s name could they have made an 8th installment? Well, with a budget of 250 million dollars that’s how! The Fate of Furious is the biggest worldwife film opening since 2002. Plus, they raked in 1.163 billion dollars in the states alone. Hot Damn. “With Dom and Letty married, Brian and Mia retired and the rest of the crew exonerated, the globe-trotting team has found some semblance of a normal life.

Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2

I have been waiting for this film the moment the first volume concluded in the theatre. Mainly because GOTG was new and fresh to me. It is very rare for me to go into these type of films cold, but I was willing to take the risk. Plus the MountainMan giving the original film a high rating (because he is a stickler for films), means it clearly blew his mind. So the team returns but with even more Star Power. But was it too much? “Peter Quill and his fellow Guardians are hired b

Movie Review: Live by Night

The film that caused Batfleck to step down as director of the upcoming Batman installment. It also made Affleck possibly not reprise his role of the Bat after all the heat he took. I understand where is coming from to be honest. He has been hailed as a brilliant filmmaker to have all that work overshadowed by continuously being pestered about the upcoming Batman flick. Also, he did take a beating for the BvsS film. So I totally understand why he is sour about it. But whether

Movie Review: Check Point (2017)

‘A sheriff and a vagrant in small-town North Carolina fight back against a terrorist sleeper cell, whose ultimate goal is to take over America.’ Looking at the cast of the film initially Check Point somewhat intrigued me. William Forsythe I always thought was pretty solid, it had Bill Goldberg in the credits as well and of course with his recent return to WWE I figured I would give it a chance. The movie had Tyler Kane who played Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween and

I am sure I will be out in the cold about this review, but Sing was not that great of a film. But, let's break down why I feel Sing fell flat. In a world of anthropomorphic animals, koala Buster Moon(Matthew McConaughey) owns a theater, having been interested in show business since his father took him to his first music show as a child. Facing financial troubles, he tells his friend Eddie Noodleman(John C. Reilly) that he will host a singing competition with a prize of $1,000

Movie Review: Split

M. Night Shyamalan returns to the big screen on an extremely low budget film starring James McAvoy(Xmen: Days of Future Past) looking for a home run. After his last few films feeling like flops, it felt like there was a lot of pressure returning to the big screen. Was he able to bring back his loyal fans? First off, budget was 9 million. How this film was primarily shot, that is not a surprise. I am guessing at least 2-3 million went to James McAvoy. The rest of the cast are

Movie Review: The Lego Batman Movie

The Batman film that literally devastated Batman V Superman’s ratings delivers a comedic take of stop motion animation. But does The Dark Knight keep enforce justice in a Lego world? Will Arnett reprises his role as the Batman, but in his own movie. I walked into this film wondering how they are able to justify a Lego Batman movie. I am aware of the success that the “Lego Movie” has done. But, I was very skeptical, mainly because I didn’t think the Lego Movie was that great a

Movie Review: Jack Reacher 2

Yes, I like Tom Cruise movies. I am not a person who discriminates actors on their beliefs, even though it is considered off the wall and crazy. But Tom Cruise has been a staple in acting for almost 4 decades. It is very rare to find a Tom Cruise film that was not good, but people are quick to watch his films because of his beliefs, not because of his acting ability. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, was beat at the box office on opening weekend by a Madea film. So I went in to th

Movie Review: The Nice Guys

I have been wondering if I should even check out this film since I saw it’s trailer in theatre. It’s been awhile since I have seen Russell Crowe or even Ryan Gosling in a good role. So I decided to give this film a shot. On cheap night. Judge if you want. Russell Crowe grew to fame because of his performance in Gladiator. He has done a ton of films since then, and some that did very well. He still finds ways to outshine his cast members and always delivers a huge performance.

Now to start this i know what you're thinking, “oh great now the droids are gonna start reviewing kids films”. Trust me don't pass judgement too quickly. There are many scenes in this movie that i'm sure lead to some rather uncomfortable conversations parents had to have with their kids. Being that my major in art school was computer animation i have a fondness for cg movies whether kids films or not. SInce i've kept you reading past the first paragraph let's go a lil deeper

Here we go again with another unheard of film I am sure to most of your eyes and ears. I come across all kinds of movies as I scour the interwebs and its vastness. Some I will watch due to the name, some due to the cover art, some maybe cause I know the cast members, maybe even a director I like. This one happened to be the cover art that caught my eye and I thought it might be interesting. ‘It seemed perfect - a new house, a new marriage, a child soon to be born. But when
