Review: Extraction
It appears quite likely that battered and bloody mercenary-with-a-conscience Tyler Rake will live to see another day, and facilitate another extraction, amidst a barrage of gunfire, RPGs, exploding helicopters and…
Review: True History of the Kelly Gang
The film opens with, "Nothing you're about to see is true," so you know that even though it's based on the true story of an infamous Australian outlaw and folk…

Just in case you're caught at home wondering what you can do to pass the time, here's a list of films that, if you haven't seen, you should, and if…
Review: Spenser Confidential (Netflix)
This Netflix title caught my eye because I was a fan of the TV series “Spenser for Hire” (starring the late Robert Urich) in the mid-1980s and was curious how…
Review: Birds of Prey
There wasn’t much to like about Suicide Squad back in 2016, other than Margot Robbie’s scene-stealing performance as Joker’s crazy cartoonish girlfriend Harley Quinn. Three and a half years later,…
Review: The Rhythm Section
Think of your heart as the drums, your breathing as the bass. That’s pretty much my only takeaway of note from The Rhythm Section and I’m still not sure how…
Review: The Gentlemen
The Gentlemen is a stylish crime caper with writer/director Guy Ritchie’s fingerprints all over it. It's very much a "Guy" movie - and a "guy movie", with a splash of…
Review: Bad Boys For Life
“Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do...?” Gonna make a movie and a sequel or two. It all began in 1995, with Bad Boys, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence…
Quickie Review: Dolittle
I often skip the “kids movies” since my nieces and nephews have aged out of them. But I will generally make an exception for animation, musicals and anything with Robert…
Review: Underwater
The most shocking thing to me about Underwater is that some critics are actually calling it entertaining and fast-moving. That may be true for the first half-hour of the 95-minute…
Quickie Review: 1917
I’m not big on epic war dramas. They all tend to share the same brutal message: War is hell. But 1917 is surprisingly engaging, and best seen on the biggest…
Spoiler-free Review: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Chances are, if you’re reading this review (and I use the term loosely), you’ve already seen The Rise of Skywalker (so now it’s okay to look), you couldn’t care less…
Review: Jumanji: The Next Level
This one’s easy. If you saw and liked the 2017 film, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (which I rented this week as a primer), then it’s totally worth taking a…
Quickie Review: The Aeronauts
The Aeronauts is one of those movies that plenty of folks will like, but a lot of critics will wrestle with. It’s good, but it’s also disappointing. I saw The…
