Rebel Ridge (2024) | Review

2024. 131 mins. Directed by Jeremy Saulnier Rebel Ridge follows the story of Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre), an ex-Marine who is on his way to post bail for his cousin. Along the way he is stopped by two police officers who end up taking the cash he planned to use to bail out his cousin, as they believe it to be drug money. This puts Terry in a bind as he needed to get that money to the courthouse that day. When he is denied the ability to bail out his cousin, Terry attempts to file a police report against the officers who took his money. The chief of police (Don Johnson) for the small town gets involved and things escalate causing Terry to do whatever it takes to get his cousin out. Director/writer Jeremy Saulnier has put together one hell of a movie here. With Saulnier directing and writing the script, his vision is really brought to life on screen. The combination of great camera work, stellar action sequences and great performances from the cast all work flawlessly because of Saul

Hit Man (2024) | Movie Review

2023. R. 115 mins. Directed by Richard Linklater Synopsis: A professor moonlighting as a hit man of sorts for his city police department, descends into dangerous, dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to a woman who enlists his services. Director Richard Linklater has once again crafted another stellar movie. The script, written by Linklater and Powell, is top notch and really works from start to finish. There are numerous scenes throughout with some great dialogue and the script is extremely witty, especially with the character of Gary Johnson. Linklater does a great job at building the character of Gary and letting the audience get to know him. Seeing a montage of Gary posin g as a hit man for different clients and putting on different disguises and accents is one of the best parts of the movie. Glen Powell knocks his performance out of the park. This is a perfect starring vehicle for him, and he performs expertly throughout. Adria Arjona gives a fantastic performance

I Saw The TV Glow (2024) | Review

2024. PG-13. 100 mins. Directed by Jane Schoenbrun Synopsis: Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show, a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen's view of reality begins to crack. I Saw The TV Glow is the perfect example of a movie that has so much potential to be great but doesn't stick the landing in its execution. Director/Writer Jane Schoenbrun has an interesting vision for the story at hand and there are some great themes spread out throughout the movie. However, all the interesting ideas never feel like they are fleshed out enough and when the movie comes to an extremely abrupt ending, it all just feels like it led up to nothing worthwhile. This is a movie about finding your true self and being who you really are inside, but all that gets lost in a muddled story that loses itself by the end. There are glimpses of a truly gr

Unfrosted (2024) | Review

2024. PG-13. 97 mins. Directed by Jerry Seinfeld Jerry Seinfeld made one of the greatest, if not the greatest, sitcoms of all time. He has now also made one of the worst Netflix original movies. In his directorial debut, Seinfeld fumbles the ball and squanders an amazing cast with a below average comedy that never feels like it knows what it wants to be. How a movie can contain this much talent and essentially not execute on any level is nothing short of amazing. The movie follows Bob Cabana (Jerry Seinfeld) as he tells the story of how he helped create the Pop Tart for Kellogg's. This is a somewhat interesting concept for a comedy. Watching two rival companies go toe to toe and try to one up each other to make a new breakfast snack could make some funny moments. Unfortunately, that is the biggest problem with Unfrosted, it just isn't very funny. With a cast littered with so many great comedians, former SNL cast members and cameos from other talented actors there is absolutel

Good Burger 2 | Review

2023. PG. 90 mins. Directed by Phil Traill In 1997, Nickelodeon decided to try out a sketch from their hit TV show, All That , as a full-length movie. While Good Burger didn't make much noise at the box office it has gone on to become a cult classic among kids that were born in the 90's. Now, 26 years later, Paramount brings back Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as their lovable characters Dexter and Ed as they set off on a new adventure in Good Burger 2 . Does this sequel live up to the mildly funny comedy from the 90's or did they wait too long to put a sequel together? This is a case of a little bit of both. The issue with so many of the recent sequels, remakes, reboots and requels is that the filmmakers are having to cater to two different audiences. On the one hand you want to have something for the people who grew up with the first movie, but you also want to have something to attract a new and younger audience to the product as well. Unfortunately, Good Burger 2 do
