Miracle Club, The

Posted on July 13, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I went blind to the theatre to see this flick… and I came out kinda blind too. I’m not sure what was the central theme or premise of this film even was. Hell, the ticketing app and Letterboxd mislabel it … Continue reading →

Tutor, The

Posted on July 12, 2023 by Joel Hilke

The Tutor is a movie that wants to be good but spends so much time thinking a monotone soundtrack and a dark color palette is enough to get it there. It wasn’t… it was barely enough to keep my eyes … Continue reading →

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1

Posted on July 11, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning <deep breath> Part One is one of the best films in this disturbingly good franchise. That’s because everyone is trying very hard to entertain, especially Mr. Cruise and Mr. McQuarrie. If we could clone them … Continue reading →

Insidious: The Red Door

Posted on July 10, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I wasn’t expecting a part 5 of the Insidious franchise nor was I expecting it to be a sequel to part 2, mostly ignoring the events of parts 3 and 4. Not that continuity and cannon are all that critical … Continue reading →

Out-Laws, The

Posted on July 8, 2023 by Joel Hilke

To its credit, The Out-Laws gets the best part of the movie out of the way quickly… it’s a clever title that may remind you of the far superior (and similarly themed) The In-Laws. That’s where the similarities end though. … Continue reading →

Joy Ride (2023)

Posted on July 7, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Joy Ride is one of those classic misses for me that seems to be hitting for everyone else. The flick is a raunchy comedy full of raunchy jokes where the raunchy punchline is the long and short of it. I’m … Continue reading →

Pollen

Posted on July 7, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I’m mixed on this mixed bag “horror” movie. On the one hand, it’s often effectively moody… but not as the horror movie it sells itself as. But it’s also campy and I’m not sure if it knows it is. I … Continue reading →

Blackening, The

Posted on July 2, 2023 by Joel Hilke

This was my second attempt to see this flick in the theaters. The first time, my lousy theater had the bulb brightness turned down so I could barely see the black actor’s faces in the opening scene (and a movie … Continue reading →
