7/10 Faith based films are often on the cheesy side and tend to have lower production values due to constrained budgets. As someone who appreciates the messages of Christian films but doesn’t necessarily enjoy them because of their underwhelming track record, I can’t say that I was too jazzed to watch this. However, after two … Continue reading #22 Film in 2020: I Still Believe

3/10 I re-watched “Trolls” before I saw this and even though it is still not a good movie, I think my review was a little harsher than if I were to review it again today. That being said, this follow up arriving four years later (are we going to get a new “Trolls” movie every … Continue reading #21 Film in 2020: Trolls: World Tour

3.5/10 81 days. That is how long it had been since I saw “Birds of Prey” in theaters, the evening before all theaters shut down and the last movie I saw on the big screen. After what seemed like an eternity, two theaters within half an hour of where I live have been the first … Continue reading #20 Film in 2020: Sonic the Hedgehog

3/10 This was the last movie I was able to see before all theaters nationwide closed down due to the Coronavirus and I am pretty bummed that I ended on such a weak note. This movie is pretty awful with only a few positives, which I will get out of the way first. There are … Continue reading #19 Film in 2020: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

7/10 Sports films have been done to death, but “The Way Back” is more of a drama about loss and alcoholism that uses basketball as the backdrop, which really strengthens the film and prevents it from falling into all of the clichés that generally comes along with sports dramas. This film isn’t perfect but it … Continue reading #18 Film in 2020: The Way Back

7/10 After “The Turning”, “Brahms: The Boy II” and “Gretel & Hansel” ended up ranging from terrible to mediocre, I was finally rewarded with a good horror film that stayed with me for a while after I left the theater. Although “The Lodge” isn’t perfect, it overall succeeds in keeping the audience guessing, throwing twists … Continue reading #17 Film in 2020: The Lodge

4.5/10 “Gretel & Hansel” is to be applauded for what it set out to accomplish, but like eating too much candy, it will just leave you with more of a stomach ache than feeling satisfied. There are definitely some respectable elements to admire here. The most noticeable is the fantastic and moody score that the … Continue reading #16 Film in 2020: Gretel & Hansel

2.5/10 After re-watching the first movie (which I gave a 5/10 to instead of the 3/10 it deserves upon further investigation), this sequel that absolutely no one asked for even falls short of that lame first movie. In talking about this movie I will give a spoiler for the first movie (not this one). So … Continue reading #15 Film in 2020: Brahms: The Boy II

9/10 Disney/Pixar continues its winning streak following the great “Toy Story 4” and “The Incredibles 2” beforehand. While both of those films were great, it is refreshing to see Pixar back with an original film (the first of two this year). Where “Frozen” was about the love and bond between two sisters, “Onward” is about … Continue reading #14 Film in 2020: Onward
