I have to tell you all that it feels a bit depressing, to follow up last week’s review for the surprise smash “Storks” with something that falls right into the bargain bin pile that I expected it to go in. “Trolls” is one of the more recent attempts to cash in on a recognisable toy franchise, and if anything, it reminded me why I worked so hard to remove them from my memory in the first place.
I know it isn’t fair to judge a book by its cover, or, a movie by the cover image. But this one in particular might have you internally screaming in distaste, with all sirens telling you to put it back on the shelf with haste. But every now and then, you may be putting away a bit of a hidden gem. And “Storks” may well be one of those rarities.
The original may have been a flawed, but very interesting idea, but the series has really snowballed over the past few years. And the release of “The Purge: Election Year” during the political times of 2016 made certain that this was out to make a statement. But does that still hold relevance now?
Who’s up for some miserable and heart-smashing TV? Oh, you are? Well, you’ve come to the right place sirs and madams, with the first season of the Netflix Original series “A Series of Unfortunate Events”. Will you be left crushed by the inhumanity of it all, or just mildly shaken? Here’s my two bits on the opening season.
So Jodie Foster, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts walk into a TV studio hostage situation… and make a movie! It may make for a story design right from the 1990’s, but who’s not ready to watch a movie with them in the main roles? Well, I’m here to break down “Money Monster” for your convenience.
Horror was one genre from last year that I didn’t get many chances to reviews movies from. It can be hit or miss as to whether they get widespread distributions, and then of course the case where I just wasn’t able to catch them in the theatre. But one example “Don’t Breathe” got its home release this week, and it has quite a bit of praise running behind it too.
