Trap (2024)
Another stinker churned out by the Shylaman poop factory.
This movie is good for all of four minutes. The first two minutes, when you believe you are going to actually watch a good film and the last two minutes when you are so incredibly grateful this is over. Shylaman actually writes something watchable about once a decade and this sure isn't it, this one was even worse than Old. The dialogue was so canned and predictable, I felt like I was in a college film class. The constant cameos form shylaman in his films and always trying to turn one of his family members into some type of star. Not a realistic character in the whole film, I can not believe the crap Hollywood churns out these days. Take the camcorder away from this child already.
The Beekeeper (2024)
A decent waste of time
Jason Statham, of course, gives us a great performance. And the plot is even passable. Though truthfully, this feels like an afternoon on Netflix, for the most part I had a good time. The movie wouldn't have been so forgettable if they had better judgment in casting someone, anyone at all, rather than Emmy Raver Lampman. First she plays at being intelligent, then she plays at being a cop, and her final sin, playing at being an actual actor. Her background is daytime television, and apparently that's where she belongs. There was also the new obligatory nod to feminism with an 80 pound psycho girl unrealistically taking on Jason Statham, come on don't waste our time with this nonsense. Once again, it was ok and some decent acting overall. I wouldn't rush out and spend a bunch of money on it though. Thank you.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)
Absolutely Brilliant
I go to the movies about 10 times a month. Since 2020, you are lucky if you get one or two good movies a year. Everything else is political diatribe that no one is interested in. Especially Disney, how the great have fallen. This movie, however, was a gem. No politics, just entertainment and damn was it good. Tom Blyth smoked every scene, what an amazing actor. Paired with Rachel Zegler...wow...just drop droppingly good. Those rating the movie with poor ratings because it was different than the book are ridiculous. Of course it's different than the book, it's based on a screen play. Most likely Francis Lawrence never even read the books, as most directors don't. It's a movie, it's a great movie and I would highly suggest seeing this one on the big screen. Enjoy that holiday popcorn!!!
Joy Ride (2023)
Crass does not mean funny
Where to begin on how this is the worst movie in recent memory. The script basically consists of rotating between balls and the F-bomb. Throw in ninety minutes of reverse racism and Abra Cadabra, you have a modern Hollywood film. How genius that you don't even have to write a plot or make people laugh at your pathetic jokes. If you huff paint, if you eat paint chips, or if you are one of these fifty year old children still rebelling against your parents, this movie would be ideal for you. If toilet humor showcased by a handful of two bit actors is how you want to portray your culture. Well then, best of luck.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
Where the holy hell is Michael Bay.
If it stresses you out to refill your soda and popcorn during a good movie, no worries here. Unless it is the first fifteen minutes or the last fifteen minutes, you are not going to miss anything. This director has no track record and had no business directing this film. You do not hand the reins over to a nobody on the 7th film in a series. Terrible job little bro. Anthony Ramos and Dean Scott Vasquez did a stupendous job. Who the hell cast Dominique Fishback??? Is she some 1990's afternoon Disney castoff. She couldn't pull off an episode of Zach and Cody, let alone a triple A summer release. It was painful to watch her acting. There are no big actors in the film at all except a short stint with Luna Lauren Velez as the mother figure. It's obvious paramount pictures did not even care about the release of this film and it was handed off to a bunch of castoffs. And the so called humor fell from a cliff flat on it's face. I didn't hear a single chuckle in a packed theater during a 2 hour film. This is not a box office smash...go watch the Spiderverse and get your money's worth!
Fast X (2023)
Worst action film of the year
Where to begin on this trash heap of a called film. I have watched every Fast and the Furious film several times. And, for the most part, I have enjoyed them immensely. Fast X is not actually a film, I had to stave off sleep the first 20 minutes of the movie. There is no actual plot to the film and the ending is spectacularly pathetic. I would have been less disappointed if they had turned the film into a telenovela. Though at this point with the constant resurrection of characters, it might as well be. The worst part of the film is that there isn't a single moment that you feel the concept of "family" I know all of you fast fans will ignore this review, just like I did, but I guarantee you will regret it. PS Jason Momoa, you have no business ruining good films with your utter lack of skill.
Shotgun Wedding (2022)
Ummm just nope!!!
There is one good actor in this entire film. And it's Cheech Marin, not Jenifer Lopez. Every joke falls absolutely flat on it's face. The so called love angle is totally unbelievable, and there is no chemistry between the two. It was a literal torture to watch this film. Every bit of action was so poorly created that it was unintentionally laughable. And WORST of all was Lenny Kravitz. Obviously he should never act again. I don't care if it's a toothpaste commercial, his music is bad enough, but his acting was horrid. We've all seen the track record for Amazon originals. This one won't change your mind. 0/10.
Knock at the Cabin (2023)
A Knock in the Head
Let's face, it at this point, Shylaman had been a hack for over a decade. This movie isn't esoteric, it's not misunderstood and it's not unique. The only thing Unique is the fact it was produced rather than simply throwing this pathetic screenplay into a furnace. Truthfully, outisde of a Sixth Sense and Split, Shylaman can simply not write a decent movie. You'll see the same fan boys that somehow gave Old a 10 singing the praises of this poorly written script. If you want to waste 2 hours of your life, fight off sleeping and waste fifty dollars to prove you're right. Be my guest, I was more fulfilled staying home and watching Sponge Bob reruns.
The Card Counter (2021)
Too slow of a slow burn
To be expected this is a top notch performance by Oscar Isaac. Which brings us to the first issue with the film. His pairing with Tiffany Haddish. The difference in talent was palpably noticeable throughout the film. Haddish is more of a crass comedy actress and the role didn't suit her.
The film could have easily gotten two more stars from me if they had sped it up just a bit. If this would have been directed rather than produced by Scorsese I'm sure we would have watched a much more enjoyable film.
For a movie night at Redbox this isn't a bad film as long as your expectations are in line before you start the movie. I would definitely skip wasting your money at the theatre though.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Cashgrab, retread, travesty, laughing stock
This was such an incredibly bad movie. Biggest mistake was Yabba Dabba Doo with his Barney Rubble performance that somehow was supposed to replace Laurence Fishburne. His acting skill in this film was on par with a 1980's sitcom. Carrie Anne Moss, Keanu Reeves and Jessica Henwick gave great performances. But you can't fix a pathetically bad script. I know you'll convince yourselves it's really not that bad. It is. So don't say I didn't warn you. Keep your money in your pocket.
The Harder They Fall (2021)
Not much better than They Die by Dawn
Jeymes Samuel is simply not a good director.
The show tries and fails to be a Tarantino clone.
Total unbelievable badassery from Regina King but otherwise an outstanding cast mired in a terrible screenplay.
Just a hard pass. How about NO Scott.
In the Dark (2019)
Great Acting spoiled by some of the most predictable writing I have seen in ages.
Top notch acting especially the friendship with Perry Mattfeld and Brooke Markham. The only poor acting (casting as well) was Nia (Nicki Micheaux) the most unbelievable tough guy gangster I've ever seen.
The movie starts out with decent twists and turns and then five or six episodes in a small child could tell you what is going to happen next. I'd advise just to skip it as you'll be hooked on a very mediocre show.
Downsizing (2017)
Not for everyone
I loved this movie but I don't think most people will.
Very disjointed story line and a bit slow.
If you are patient, one of the most original love stories ever!
Jungle Cruise (2021)
This one really surprised me
I went into this movie with almost zero expectations. Boy was I wrong. This movie is the spiritual successor to Raiders of the lost Ark. Great plot twists and visuals all throughout the movie. The Rock did an Excellent job. He has really evolved in his acting skills. Should definitely be looked at as an evolved actor not just a wrestler now. Good family fun I would recommend to anyone.
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
Nothing but a Paid advertisement
I tried to go into this movie objectively. The original Space Jam with his Royal Airness was a favorite for my kids growing up. This was not a return to good times. So much wasted opportunity here. At the end of the day this was nothing but a paid advertisement for the Queen of the NBA. Hard pass all day long.
The Green Knight (2021)
A heap of flaming Trash.
This is one of those movies which high school thespians who grew up to be "drama" teachers will tell you is artistic. It is not. It is poorly made. Poorly directed and poorly paced. This is not something esoteric that I just don't understand. It is simply bad. I will say the acting itself is superb but it can't cover up the complete lack of a plot or direction. Literally more depth in an episode of the Simpsons. Save your money friends.
