Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Posted on May 20, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Wow… this one came right out of nowhere (ok, fine, Disney+) and smacked me upside the head. I really dug this one. And to think, I only watched it because a couple YouTubers I follow reviewed it and, though I … Continue reading →

On the Count of Three

Posted on May 18, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Two suicidal life-long friends agree to off each other… but before they take their lives on their last day, they live their last day. What a grim idea for a movie that is, in fact, quite grim. But that’s surprisingly … Continue reading →

Infinite Storm

Posted on May 17, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Watching Infinite Storm, I was thankful of my life choices. There I was, sitting in a recliner with no greater goal that preventing it from flying off into the sky. Eating coconut Keebler cookies that I thought were thin mints … Continue reading →

Family Camp

Posted on May 16, 2022 by Joel Hilke

I did not laugh – at all – at this movie… there might have been two spots where I could have mildly amused (charitably), but it didn’t touch my face – not even the touch of a smile or smirk … Continue reading →

Monstrous (2022)

Posted on May 16, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Monstrous is a curious film. It’s one of those horror movies that seems to be a horror movie by financial obligation. It feels like it really wants to be a personal drama, a character study, that they felt had to … Continue reading →

Sneakerella

Posted on May 14, 2022 by Joel Hilke

As the literal (literal!) 811th Cinderella adaptation (and Disney’s 85th), Sneakerella makes a valiant effort at being relevant. It isn’t always successful due mainly to familiarity and a grueling run-time, but its cast is appealing and its colorful musical numbers … Continue reading →

Senior Year

Posted on May 14, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Senior Year has a fun first half that fails to build on in the pedestrian and routine second half. It’s got a fun idea for a fish-out-of-water, blast-from-the-past storyline that ultimately is just used for Rebel Wilson’s usual brand of … Continue reading →

Firestarter (2022)

Posted on May 13, 2022 by Joel Hilke

In my recent re-watch review of the original 1984 Firestarter, I said it was an hour and forty minute buildup to the arson-heavy, fireball-spewing finale. Something I doubted the new film would handle as well due to the likely use … Continue reading →

Father Stu

Posted on May 11, 2022 by Joel Hilke

I hadn’t seen a trailer for this and I went in with some discordant ideas. I knew it was a faith-based film that stars Mark Wahlberg. And this does not compute. It co-star Mel Gibson which does compute a bit … Continue reading →

Marmaduke

Posted on May 9, 2022 by Joel Hilke

When I started watching this, I realized I hadn’t thought about Marmaduke (the IP) in decades. But then it occurred to me a little later that I was wrong… that Marmaduke came up in an episode of Rick and Morty … Continue reading →
