  • John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

    More Wick, plain and simple. This is the greatest hits of close combat action films, now with added Halle Berry. Eat your heart out, Bond!

  • Olympus Has Fallen

    Red Dawn (2012) meets White House Down, except before, and by Antoine Fuqua. What the hell is this?

  • Jennifer's Body

    Bog standard high school horror film, of course it’s a thinly veiled selection between those who have sex, and those who want to. Not sure why I even bother…

  • Hotel Império

    Über hipster tale of real estate speculation, smoky clubs where not-hookers hook up, and massage parlous, with requisite happy endings. Fuggedaboutit, it’s Macao.

  • Solum

    A low rent Alex Garland film with lower budget and amateurish acting, brought to you by The Hot Jesus.

  • Spy Kids

    What. Robert Rodriguez does a live action Incredibles, using comparable amounts of CGI.

  • White House Down

    An “improved” Independence Day, with more “political” content as a plot clothesline. A two hours long diatribe against the military-industrial complex, brought to you by the DoD, Raytheon, and Boeing.

  • Hail, Caesar!

    SQUINT! SQUINT AT THE GRANDEUR!
