Speed Racer, based on a popular Japanese Manga and cartoon from the 1960s, is a CGI explosion of high speed hijinks.Directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski, it embodies much of what made the series so beloved. That works to its benefit and detrim
Alita: Battle Angel, based on a popular Manga series, is a cyberpunk action film from Robert Rodriguez.Full of CGI and over the top fisticuffs, Alita: Battle Angel is quite often visually dazzling. It truly feels like an anime come to life. Wh
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a somewhat successful live-action adaptation of the beloved GI Joe cartoon and toy line. It's a big, loud, dumb, and, at times, very fun action film.Most of the adjectives above will come as no surprise for fans of
The Last Airbender—the 2010 version written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan—is an affront to cinema. Yes, it is that bad; and no, it is not worth wasting more brain power writing about.Now, sit back, douse the Fire Nation's flame
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the abandoned child of a now-defunct cinematic universe. Pushed multiple times and released far after James Gunn's announcement of his new DCU, the writing was on the wall, or in the sand, for the King of Atlanti
Madame Web is Sony's latest vapid entry in their ever burgeoning catalogue of films centering around the villains of Spider-Man.And, yes, like Morbius, that hero is nowhere to be seen. In fact, since the film largely takes place in 2003, he ha
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was the bite-sized hero's attempt to elevate the stakes of his solo outings. With Kang—the MCU's big bad in waiting—as the film's central villain, it was meant to serve as a narrative intro for the next Avenger
The Flash, despite the character's powers, took forever to speed its way to the big screen. Originally announced as part of DC's film slate in 2014, it would be nine long years before it was finally released.During that time, numerous director
Blue Beetle is the type of superhero film that seems to be in increasingly rare supply these days. It places character firmly over spectacle, and in doing so, gives us one of the most heartfelt comic book films of recent memory.If you're not f
Half Past Dead is the last feature film with Steven Seagal as the main star to earn a theatrical release. If one were to track what came after, that would come as no surprise.In his thankfully short-lived action cinema prime, Seagal was servic
Expend4bles is the epitome of milking an idea dry. It's lazy, visually a mess, and its narrative is almost completely nonsensical.Worse, like the third entry in the series, Expend4bles doesn't seem to grasp what made people interested in its c
Written and directed by Taran Killam, Killing Gunther is a mockumentary centering on a group of incompetent assassins who assemble to take down the world's best hitman.It is a wonderfully comedic and weird film that was unfortunately slept on
Hollywood Homicide is a delightful mismatched buddy cop comedy. Unfortunately, everyone hated it, including its star—Harrison Ford.Written and directed by Ron Shelton, of Bull Durham and Tin Cup fame, Hollywood Homicide channels the real life
Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are two of the great 80s action movie. That much is indisputable. But they are also both set during the Christmas season.On this podcast, we debate which is the better Christmas movie. So, sit back, revel in the hol
Just Friends is a charming little comedy starring Ryan Reynolds before he ascended into super stardom.As Chris Brander, Reynolds plays a heavy-set high schooler whose love for his best friend Jamie Palamino (Amy Smart) is unrequited. Flash fo
Palm Springs is a cinematic gem that went under the radar in 2020. Released at the height of the pandemic, it's an uproariously funny time loop movie, centering on a man stuck at a miserable wedding.When said man, Niles played by Andy Sandberg
So I Married an Axe Murderer came hot off the heels of the mega hit Wayne's World. Unfortunately for Mike Myers, it could not replicate the famous skit's success.Banking just north of $11 million, So I Married and Axe Murderer was a box office
Summer Catch came at the peak of Freddie Prinze, Jr. mania. He was sort of the king of sub-par romantic comedies in the mid-2000s, and like the rest of his films, this one, too, is mediocre.Full of cringeworthy schmaltz and baseball scenes tha
Werewolves Within—which is as loosely based on a video game as possible—is a horror/comedy whodunnit that relies far more on humor than gore.And, for the most part, it works well. Starring Sam Richardson as bumbling park ranger Finn Wheeler, W
Renfield is a delightful little horror comedy chronicling the titular character's toxic relationship with his master, Count Dracula.Featuring Nicholas Hoult as Renfield and Nicolas Cage as that overbearing boss, it's a film that works despite
The Blackening is a satirical take on the horror genre. Poking fun at the trope of the Black character dying first, it offers an interesting quandary for the killer: If every character is Black, they can't all die first.Based on a skit of the
Any Given Sunday is a brutal, uncompromising look at the world of pro football. It's never subtle—in either its performances or depictions—which unfortunately is what ultimately hamstrings it.Oliver Stone over-directs the hell out of this movi
Dazed and Confused is flat out a classic. Focusing on a group of wayward teens in 70s Austin, Texas, it somehow remains one of the most relatable looks at the high school experience.Sure, some things don't really translate to the present—the h
The Replacements is a fairly derivate football film about a group of underdogs overcoming the odds.It takes elements of Major League, Necessary Roughness, and even the kid-centric Little Giants and throws them into a blender, producing a jumbl
In The Faculty, a malevolent alien force descends upon Herrington High School and begins taking over—one hapless teacher at a time.It is up to the students—a ragtag group of people who wouldn’t be caught dead together otherwise—to put a stop t
