I’m not really sure why this movie is taking such a beating. Even trying to look at the movie through super critical eyes, it’s nowhere close to being amongst the worst comic book movies ever made, let alone the worst of the X-Men movies. Yes, I can be overly optimistic when I watch movies, but you know what? Who cares. Life’s too short. So when a X-Men movie comes along that really hits the buttons I wanted pressed, then I’m…

Star Trek: Insurrection 1998
I dug this a lot! It’s certainly not as good as First Contact as this one has a fairly significant vibe shift, but I like the new vibe. If First Contact is replicating a big and bombastic episode of The Next Generation, Insurrection is doing a riff on an away mission episode centered around a moral quandary but amped up with some big screen action. Again, none of the action here tops First Contact but it’s still more than serviceable.…

The story is brilliant with a phenomenal villain, the large cast of characters are all incredible, it’s genuinely hilarious and surprisingly cool as hell and the world is…

The problem then becomes that when you go to see these types of movies, all you want to do is to see those giant monsters wreck stuff. But wrecking stuff isn't cheap and 90 to 120 minutes of only wrecking stuff can only get you…

The Last Duel 2021
It's frustrating that no one has shown up for this. Ridley Scott is out here at the age of 83, knocking out home runs with ease, and everyone seems to just shrug. The Last Duel, the first movie that Ridley Scott has coming out this year, is a brilliant story that is told in an ingenious way. The plot revolves around the rape of Marguerite de Carrouges played by Jodie Comer and it is broken into three chapters. The first…
