Courier, The
I (almost) got nothing. The Courier is one of those movies where I paused and realize there’s a full hour and change left and I have no idea how they are going to fill the time. Repeat at a half … Continue reading

Breathe (2024)
Breathe is a small-scale post-apocalyptic thriller/sci-fi film that has a decent opening act but slowly slides off a cliff. It’s about the near future where all the oxygen has gone… somewhere <shrug>. All the plants are dead, most of the … Continue reading

New Life
New Life is a stark, barren, cold thriller/horror film about a woman on the run and an agent sent to capture her before its too late. It hides what’s “really going on” so I’ll be vague too… though it has … Continue reading

One More Shot
While I’m highly lukewarm on this action flick, I genuinely would understand if its someone’s favorite. It’s well-executed, technically impressive, and I guess the moment-to-moment gun and fist fights are well executed. But I found it tiresome, repetitive, and was … Continue reading

Something in the Water
Spoiler alert: the something in the water isn’t really sharks… it’s a bunch of bobbing buffoons trying to figure out how to fill 90 minutes with talk, floating, and sometimes a shark. It’s not good. The flick… destination wedding drama, … Continue reading
