https://youtu.be/DKgW8UcGMNk 7/10 Much like “Unfriended” and “Searching”, “Profile” takes place entirely from/on a computer or phone screen. While telling a story in this way has been done before, the plot dealing with online recruitment is perfect for this medium. The most fascinating part of “Profile” is that it is based upon a true story. A … Continue reading #59 Film in 2021: Profile

#58 Film in 2021: Wrath of Man
https://youtu.be/EFYEni2gsK0 7.5/10 Coming only a year after one of 2020’s most underrated films, “The Gentlemen”, Guy Ritchie is back with another strong film that takes him back to his violent roots. I do have to say that I am mad at myself for forgetting that this film is actually a remake. I make it mandatory … Continue reading #58 Film in 2021: Wrath of Man
#57 Film in 2021: Separation
https://youtu.be/dkDDTNTXhNw 4/10 The story of a father and daughter who are haunted after the death of their wife/mother, “Separation” has some fun twists and turns as well as a few strong performances but falls into mediocrity due to its story and lack of scares. The cast is fairly strong as child actress Violet McGraw who … Continue reading #57 Film in 2021: Separation
#56 Film in 2021: Four Good Days
https://youtu.be/uDDCulgiqs4 6/10 A movie about addiction in which a mother struggles to care for her drug addicted daughter who has burned her in the past, “Four Good Days” draws its strength from the powerhouse acting but falls short due to its familiarity. There is no denying the fantastic acting from the always reliable Glenn Close … Continue reading #56 Film in 2021: Four Good Days
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2
https://youtu.be/vHT9bumvQjM 8/10 After giving the first season a 4/10 (to the anger of multiple family members) and not looking forward to season 2, I am as thrilled as I am pleasantly surprised that season 2 is a night and day improvement over the first season. Before I get into why this season is a complete … Continue reading Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2
#55 Film in 2021: Mortal Kombat
https://youtu.be/jBa_aHwCbC4 2.5/10 What a disappointment. After two absolutely garbage movies in the 1990s that have aged horribly and a super kheesy TV show following soon after, I had hoped that after over 20 years that we might get something of higher quality than this but I was sadly mistaken. Before I get into all of … Continue reading #55 Film in 2021: Mortal Kombat
#54 Film in 2021: The Girl Who Believes in Miracles
https://youtu.be/aH6b6P18D34 3.5/10 An emotional movie with a strong religious message, “The Girl Who Believes in Miracles” sadly falls short due to the same follies that befall many faith based films; their cheesiness and low budgets. The story of a girl who believes in miracles and has Jesus perform them through her, only for skeptics to … Continue reading #54 Film in 2021: The Girl Who Believes in Miracles
#53 Film in 2021: Raya and the Last Dragon
https://youtu.be/1VIZ89FEjYI 5.5/10 A movie that attempts a lot of good, “Raya and the Last Dragon” ultimately falls into mediocrity due its formulaic script containing many elements that we’ve seen so many times before. Luckily this movie does nail several elements and if you have kids, they will surely enjoy this movie. As for what worked … Continue reading #53 Film in 2021: Raya and the Last Dragon
#52 Film in 2021: In the Earth
https://youtu.be/3Lqkfo7IymU 8/10 I watched the entire filmography of writer/director Ben Wheatley leading up to his last film, “Rebecca”. Luckily, there was only a six-month gap between that movie (which I found to be disappointing) and this vast improvement. I honestly can’t even remember the last great horror film that I saw was but luckily, “In … Continue reading #52 Film in 2021: In the Earth
#51 Film in 2021: SAS: Red Notice
https://youtu.be/JAScNCtcu5Y 1/10 Despite the somewhat cheesy trailer, I figured a movie starring Tom Wilkinson and Andy Serkis had to be of decent quality if those respected thespians signed on for it, right? Oh, how wrong I was. A colossal failure on every level imaginable, “SAS: Red Notice” is a total embarrassment for everyone involved and … Continue reading #51 Film in 2021: SAS: Red Notice
