Full disclosure, I absolutely loved the first Peter Rabbit film. I found it completely hilarious and cackled numerous times. The sequel did not make me laugh. I typically don’t watch straight-up kid movies anymore, because they’re not funny, and they are as annoying as the kids in the audience. This movie completely reminded me of

As I browsed my Regal app on Thursday evening, I saw a film that I hadn’t heard of before, Bo Gia, a Vietnamese film. I was intrigued that it was placed into the megaplex theater, rather than the indie theater, and there were also multiple showtimes. I figured that there must be something about this
Sailor Moon Eternal was basically the fourth season of the original anime, called Sailor Moon SuperS. This means that there was zero context. If you didn’t watch or read Sailor Moon, you would have no idea as to what was going on. I’ve been watching and reading Sailor Moon since the 1990s, so that wasn’t

Cruella is the newest live-action adaptation of a cartoon character that Disney decided to give us. I only went to see the movie because there was nothing else out in the theater this weekend. At an overly long, bloated run time of 2 hours and 12 minutes, we get the entire life story of Cruella,

Guy Ritchie’s newest film, Wrath of Man, is based upon a French film called le Convoyeur, or ‘Cash Truck’. It’s one of the first ‘big’ films that’s only been released in theaters here in the US.

Profile is based upon the true story of a French journalist who went undercover online to report on how ISIS recruits young, recently converted, European women to the jihadi cause. This film uses the same narrative style as Searching, everything is witnessed via screens, and it really works for this story. In Profile, the journalist
I will preface this by stating I have not watched the Demon Slayer show, nor did I read a synopsis of what had happened prior to the characters getting onto the Mugen Train. I wanted to see this film for two reasons, 1) It’s the largest grossing Anime of all time apparently, in Japan and

You know when you watch a movie, and you’re completely entertained during it, but afterwards, all you remember is the action portions and none of the plot? That’s me right now, after watching this movie just a little less than three hours ago. I’ll get this out of the way, the plot was obviously forgettable.
