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

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

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

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

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

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

https://youtu.be/EwJkexUBSeg 5/10 Writer/director Neil Burger (“The Illusionist”, “Limitless”) is back after four years away from directing a feature film to bring us into outer space. While wonderful on a technical level, “Voyagers” comes up short in its overall plot, which is “Lord of the Flies” but set in space and in the future. With a … Continue reading #50 Film in 2021: Voyagers
