Something keeps rearing it’s ugly head when it comes to Vancouver limited theatrical releases and, as a film fan, it’s really hard to keep cool about it. During my last few years doing film reviews in a more professional capacity, I’ve noticed that so many of the smaller indie film and foreign releases get pushed …
Suicide Squad –I noticed this DC Cinematic Universe film was hitting Netflix this week and, after catching it again recently on the Movie Network, I felt like voicing my displeasure with this one again. Let’s start this one off with some truth: I was really looking forward to it. There had been some stumbles but …
The First Purge – By the simple fact that I’m including this movie as the number one on my list of dumpster fires it looks like I have a hate on for this franchise which is untrue. I really dug the first two films, an opinion that is definitely not a shared one when it …
Convoy – Didn’t really want to start out my dumpster fires raging on a deceased legend but here goes. I’ve stated before on this site my love for Sam Peckinpah, a thoroughly American auteur with a penchant for cocaine and copious amounts of booze who gifted us films like Straw Dogs, The Wild Bunch and …
Sherlock Gnomes – If you’re looking for something on demand this week or weekend to occupy the kids you will come across this little animated film, the follow up to Gnomeo And Juliet. I’m still sitting here scratching my head, wondering how this film got made. Produced by Elton John’s Rocket Films, the first film …
Action Point – It may be very telling of my age or, god forbid, my growing maturity but I think I’ve grown beyond my fanboying over Jackass, CKY and that ilk. Case in point is this new film headed by Johnny Knoxville, which looks like a mash-up of Meatballs and Adventureland, but aimed to bring …
Solo: A Star Wars Story – Let’s get one thing clear. I’m going to be a bit harsh towards the second spin-off film in the Star Wars universe, not because it’s a terrible movie because it’s not. The reason it lands at the top of my dumpster before I light this fire is that it’s …
The 15:17 To Paris – When this film hit theaters I may have taken a couple shots at director Clint Eastwood saying that maybe his age might be muddling his filmmaking decisions and was reprimanded by Drex for being “ageist”. Maybe I was being a bit unfair but after another viewing on Blu-ray, I still …
Life Of The Party – Let’s just start this one off by saying that I do not dislike Melissa McCarthy. It’s quite the contrary because I think she is very gifted and I usually enjoy the work she puts out. I adored her quick scene in Go before I even knew who she was, she is …
Overboard – As a child perusing the video store shelves, years before my horror fascination, I would always hit up the comedy section. If I wasn’t renting Airplane and its sequel or The Jerk for the umpteenth time, I was usually trying to find something I hadn’t seen before within the parameters of my age, …
