[Review] Creed III (2023)

And so it has come to this. The 9th film in the never-say-die ‘Rocky’ franchise. Do I even really need to write a review for this? ‘Creed III’ is the perfect example of a film that is entirely critic proof.

[Review] Cocaine Bear (2023)

 Taking its absurd premise from an actual true story. Which in Hollywood speak means completely made up. The true story goes that in 1985, a convicted drug smuggler was found dead after a failed parachute jump. The working theory has it that he was on-board a plane which contained hundreds of pounds...

[Review] Knock At The Cabin (2023)

It’s the end of the world! Earthquakes, volcanoes, planes falling out of the sky, cats and dogs living together. Mass Hysteria! And the only way it can be stopped is if one of three people sacrifices themselves for the greater good. Such is the premise of M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, 'Knock at...

[Review] - That '90s Show (2023)

‘That ‘90s Show’ is yet another attempt by Netflix to cash in on the nostalgia train. Having said that, I will admit that the idea of a spiritual sequel to ‘That ‘70s Show’ did somewhat interest me. My first viewing of ‘That ‘70s Show’ came via syndication long after it originally aired. Despite my...

[Review] - M3GAN (2023)

The killer doll has been a long-standing tradition in horror spanning all the way back to the 1920s with ‘The Great Gabbo.’ As time has progressed, so too has the technology powering the dolls. If you look back at the 1989 film ‘Child’s Play,’ it was most notable for its effective use of mechanical...

As 2023 kicks into gear, I continue my journey of weight loss. For the past five months, I’ve been trying to correct the wrongs in my life by building a better lifestyle for myself. Last year, at my heaviest, I weighed in at 225 kg. Not by any means a number I’m proud of. Come to the end of 2022 and...

[Review] - Clerks III (2022)

Despite his many attempts to break into the mainstream, writer and director Kevin Smith has always worked best when he keeps his films small and personal. Maybe that’s why it pains me so much to say that ‘Clerks III’ is an astounding mess of a film. What should be his most personal film to date is actually...

10.) Jackass Forever (Dir: Jeff Tremaine)Even in their 50’s, these guys are still doing this shit and guess what? It’s still unapologetically funny as all hell.

[Review] - Crackers (1998)

The Christmas season is once again upon us. A time for giving. A time for good cheer. A time for celebrating. A time for stuffing yourself with too much food and beer. It’s also that time of year when the family gets together to enjoy the company of one another. For some families out there, this may...
