If you’re in the incredibly rare subset of the population who smokes pot religiously, is an over-the-top U.S. history buff, and thinks Archer is the best show in all of television forever, you’re in luck. Otherwise, run far, far in the opposite direction. This rudderless, mindless, and below-juvenile attempt to […]

Just when you think there aren’t any more Liam Neeson movies left for Liam Neeson to make, along comes one more. This time, he’s an ice road trucker on a race to save trapped miners in what appears to be Canada’s answer to Siberia. Inexplicable mustache-twirling villains, low-rent visual effects […]

All the goodwill that Zack Snyder earned for his cut of DC’s Justice League is pretty much thrown out the window with this mess of a zombie flick. Sure, Dave Bautista and Tig Notaro are super-fun as members of a crew sent into undead-overrun Las Vegas to steal money from […]

From the What the Heck is Going On files (subset Why Should I Care) comes this head-scratcher of a sci-fi flick. In the future, a group of humans live on a faraway planet. All the women are dead, and all the men walk around with their thoughts floating audibly above […]

Hanna and Barbera are no doubt rolling over in their graves after this ridiculously bad feature film starring our favorite cartoon cat and mouse. Too stupid (and boring, frankly) for adults and too all-over-the-place for kids, it’s a colossal misfire from the very start. Sure, Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña […]

What starts out as in the vein of a Raising Arizona-style goofy, satirical crime caper winds up careening inexplicably into an oddly dark place and is (even worse) peppered with SMH plot holes and ridiculous ineptitude on both sides of the camera. Sure, the cast includes Allison Janney, Matthew Modine, […]

A passion project produced (and written and directed) by Sam Levinson during the pandemic, the film stars John David Washington and Zendaya as a frosty couple coming to terms with their relationship over the course of a late night. The real-time drama comes off like a ham-fisted attempt of a […]

Owen Wilson stars in a horribly esoteric brain-burner about a man bouncing between a pseudo-dystopian “real world” and a utopian paradise with Salma Hayek as his guide (and pusher). The stars turn in fine performances, sure, but what starts as a decent sci-fi premise winds up being a messy, unresolved […]

Director Doug Liman decided to make a film during the COVID lockdown in London this summer. Big mistake. Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor star as an insufferable couple forced to stay together during the lockdown and who decide the best way to pass the time is to steal a $3 […]

If you feel like you’ve been waiting all your life for someone to finally make a raunchy comedy about teenagers bonding over a night of hedonistic excess, well it’s finally here. (I kid, of course. Is there a trope in existence that has been overplayed more?) And, just as you’d […]
