Break Time Reviews
Uncharted is the latest foray into the all-encompassing “video game movie” genre. It’s a genre littered with less-than movies that failed to live up to their fans’ expectations. The seemingly best result you can hope for these days is “fun.” And to be fair, that’s not the worst way to describe a movie, but ideally […]
Marry Me is a ridiculous movie. A world-wide superstar singer, Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez), and her world-wide superstar singer fiancé Bastian (Maluma) are getting married mid-concert, in front of millions of fans across the world. But when Kat learns Bastian has been cheating on her with her assistant only moments before the two are set […]
If you would have told me watching a 69 year old Liam Neeson limp-run and slow-fight his way through Blacklight, his latest action thriller, would be a painful experience, I would have said, yeah, that sounds about right. Liam Neeson is not the young man he once was. He’s not even the middle-aged or just-over-middle-aged […]
On paper, Death on the Nile, should be a slam dunk hit. A few big names and beautiful people. A murder mystery set against an exotic backdrop with an eccentric detective at the center of it all, surrounded by eccentric suspects. And on those fronts, at least, it succeeds. But unfortunately the pieces that fill […]
It’s been 20 years. If you don’t know what to expect from Jackass at this point, then I don’t know what to tell you. It is what it is and you either like it or you don’t. It really just comes down to how much you like it. Like many fans I’m sure, Jackass has […]
The way I see it, there are two ways to look at Moonfall. One, you can view it as a movie wanting to be taken seriously. Or two, you can look it as a movie that couldn’t care less about scientific accuracy, and just wants to be a fun movie that makes things go BOOM! […]
Home Team tells the classic story you see all the time. Coach leads his team to a Super Bowl victory only to find himself suspended three years later for his role in the Bountygate Scandal, so the coach returns home to coach his son’s youth football team, earning redemption (kind of), and (re)learning that football […]
“Life’s f***ing hard.” This line is spoken (and spoken several more times) in one of The Fallout’s many emotionally charged scenes. In the face of great tragedy, and trying to make sense of something that makes no sense, sometimes that’s the only response you’re left with. And that’s the situation high schooler Vada (Jenna Ortega) […]
January releases don’t exactly have the best track record. The first month of the year is often reserved for movies that studios don’t have a lot of confidence in, maybe are smaller with no star power, among other reasons. Of course, not every movie released this time of year is a complete dud (fingers crossed […]
One more review dump to close out 2021. A mostly good crop here, including a couple to be on the watch for in the coming weeks. Cyrano This is one to file away for later, as Cyrano won’t see a wide release until late January or early February. This musical adaptation of the classic play […]
