Spike takes a classic movie from across the globe and adapts it into a film that distinctly feels like a Spike Lee Joint. Which, Spike, I respect you, but can you please call it a Spike Lee film?
Fan Expo 2025 - Let Your Inner Geek Out
If you've ever felt conscious about your nerdy hobbies, then this is a good place to go where you don't have to be.
'Weapons' Delivers Genuine Scares with Some Eye Rolls
Cregger plays with the camera, utilizing slow-moving zoom lenses, akin to those found in 1970s horror films, and other strategies that create a clumsy yet memorable picture.
'The Pickup' Can't Pickup Any Solid Laughs
When the action ramps up, there's not much to show off. It's your typical underwhelming car chases and explosions that don't need to be seen on the big screen.
'The Bad Guys 2' Offers Thoughts with its Laughs
The Bad Guys 2 is fun, creative, and a little redundant, but overall, it avoids the cliches of most animated films.
'She Rides Shotgun' is a Rough Ride
Whatever nuance the film has is thrown out the window in a big climax that has the production value of a low-budget film.
'The Naked Gun' Hits its Target
Through clever dialog and gut-busting sight gags, The Naked Gun is here to stay.
'Happy Gilmore 2' Doesn't Reach the Green
Happy Gilmore 2 relies heavily on past jokes to compensate for a lack of a solid script, offering occasional laughs.
‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ is Almost Fantastic
Despite some predictable conventionality, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a step in the right direction
'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Has No Hook
There's a difference between a fun bad movie and a boring bad movie. I Know What You Did Last Summer tries hard to be enjoyable by inserting some of the lamest humor imaginable, written by people who think they're being clever.
'Eddington' is the Definitive Post COVID Film
Eddington is a fantastic film that carries some noticeable flaws. This movie could have ended thirty minutes earlier and been just as effective. Yet its third act goes on like a never-ending train to crazy town. One that you'll never forget.
'Lethal Weapon' on 4K isn't a Killer Purchase
This disc, like most recent releases, leaves much to be desired.
'Superman' is Super-Meh

'F1: The Movie'-Formulaic 1
You can argue a film like this isn't about the story. That's not a good excuse.
'28 Years Later' Is Insanely Good
They pulled it off! Director Danny Boyle and Screenwriter Alex Garland reunite to make a sequel to 28 Days/Weeks Later that's disturbing, visceral, and surprisingly heartfelt.
'Elio' Doesn't Abduct Anything Original But Still Works
For the last few Pixar outings, this is one of the better ones, but by a slim margin. It's not forgettable like Luca or Elemental, but it's also not as good as Inside Out 2. It's more of a middle child who won't likely be remembered.
'Echo Valley's' Script Barely Floats Above Shallow Water
Halfway through, the script becomes a page-turner, making the viewer curious to see how our characters will wiggle their way out of a bad situation. If they do, that is.
'Materialists' Reflects a Mirror on Societal Values
Celine Song proves not to be just a flash in the pan Director. Instead, she's proving to be one of the best voices in cinema when it comes to love.
'How to Train Your Dragon' Soars Over a Mild Competition
Despite the accolades, there's no ignoring the lack of creativity brought to the script. Making the same story isn't the most impressive thing in the world to do.
'Arcades & Love Songs: The Ballad of Walter Day' Depresses More Than it Inspires
The point of the movie is to emphasize the power of community. Walter might be poor, but the lives he's touched are of more value than living the American dream. That's a sweet sentiment, but it doesn't quite resonate with me.
