When newly-engaged New Yorker Abby (Halston Sage) finds out that her fiancé has slept with one of the celebrities on his good-ol’ free-pass list, she takes it as a sign to…do the exact same thing and get some revenge. The occasional smattering of witty dialogue and a passable performance from […]

Clearly someone was looking for a clever way to reverse engineer the title into a full-length movie when they came up with this kinda-clunker. Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin star as bank robbers who show up in town for the wedding of their unknowing daughter (Nina Dobrev) to her doofus […]

The seventh Transformers flick makes it very clear that (A) they should have stopped at six (if not sooner) and (B) Michael Bay did more for this franchise than people may realize. Without Bay’s trademark camerawork and oversaturation to distract you (Steven Caple, Jr. has assumed the reins), this latest […]

Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (who wrote ‘A Quiet Place’), this sci-fi flick stars Adam Driver as a man from Somaris who crashes on an alien planet… which turns out to be Earth, 65 million years ago. Despite having a fair amount of potential (man on […]

What could have been a fairly charming and fun movie about a down-on-her-luck Australian woman who gets fired and embarks on a career as a Dolly Parton impersonator instead becomes an almost incoherent mish-mash of nearly every genre going—part comedy, part romance, part drama, and part musical, with a little […]

Nicolas Cage as menacing outlaw Colton Briggs in his first bona fide Western? Sign me up, right? Unfortunately, what we get pales in comparison to what could have been in this low-budget release that would have been direct-to-VHS back in the day. The basic, forgettable script by Carl Lucas and […]

Based on the 2016 bestseller, this no-holds-barred dysfunctional family comedy centers on a pair of black sheep siblings who have to travel to England for their posh half-sister’s wedding, much to their delight of their collective mother. Starring Allison Janney, Kristen Bell, and Ben Platt, it’s a little bit raunchy, […]

Written and directed by Rodrigo García (son of Gabriel García Márquez) and produced by Alfonso Cuarón, this largely two-man show stars Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke as pseudo-estranged half-brothers forced to reunite for their insufferable father’s funeral. Mostly It comes off like a stage play with dialogue that thinks it’s […]

Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg star as life-long friends in this tired Netflix comedy from writer-director John Hamburg, who brought us the clunkers ‘Meet the Fockers’ and ‘Along Came Polly’, among others. Hart is the responsible stay-at-home dad, and Wahlberg is the wild party man-boy, so naturally, the oil-and-water situation […]

In the near future, inmates at a loosey-goosey prison run by Chris Hemsworth are subjected to mind-altering drug experiments gauging paranoia, lust, and happiness (among other things). Despite a solid cast (which also includes Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett), this quarantine-shot dud fails in its mission to come off as […]
