  • John Wick: Chapter 4

    John Wick: Chapter 4

    ★★★½

    I get that it’s hard to make the fourth one as good as the first three, but I was optimistic. This John Wick is great, don’t get me wrong. I love what the series does, I can watch this stuff all day forever, but this was a bit of a let down. We get a new villain, new allies, lose some old characters, and that’s it. The movie starts by introducing these guys, then they just talk and fight for…

    John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

    ★★★★

    This is where John Wick really is at its most John Wick.

You can watch the plot follow this predictable pattern, yet it keeps getting turned up with the crazy action sequences. By this point, the director has figured out what it is that makes the John Wick franchise special and is trying to distill and lean into that.

While the animation has plenty to be desired, the atmosphere, soundtrack, and even cinematography is fantastic. It creates a more dark version of Gotham, without flooding it with greys and…

    Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog

    ★½

    Scooby-Doo movies are their own breed but really aren’t too bad. Courage the Cowardly Dog, similarly, is actually a fantastic and unique piece of animation history. Now all you have to do is take these two franchises and blend them together into a three-part, fanservice filled, poorly written mess, and you’ve got a movie. This really is awful. Scooby-Doo has been headed here for a while, but the whole thing taints Courage. The jokes are pretty horrendous and the plot…
