https://youtu.be/-ezfi6FQ8Ds 3/10 I gave the original “Venom” a 3/10 and remarked how despite an amazing cast and phenomenal behind the scenes talent (one of the best cinematographers and composers), the script was awful and the movie ended up being extremely stupid. Well before you can say “déjà vu”, the sequel is here to do the … Continue reading #106 Film in 2021: Venom: Let There Be Carnage
#105 Film in 2021: Dear Evan Hansen
https://youtu.be/g_c_Jd-hP-s 7/10 As a musical lover, I had mixed expectations going into this film adaptation of the Tony Award winning Broadway musical. On one hand, the trailer gave away too much and I was completely unfamiliar with the music from this musical. On the other hand, I knew this came from Justin Paul and Benj … Continue reading #105 Film in 2021: Dear Evan Hansen
#104 Film in 2021: The Addams Family 2
https://youtu.be/Kd82bSBDE84 3/10 (Cue the music)…”It’s crappy and a big mess. Causes less joy and more stress. I wish I could have seen less. The Addams Family. It is quite poorly written. Not a soul will be smitten. Less fun than being bitten. The Addams Family.” I had never seen a single movie from this franchise … Continue reading #104 Film in 2021: The Addams Family 2
#103 Film in 2021: The Many Saints of Newark
https://youtu.be/dHa95iy2lF0 6/10 Coming 14 years after “The Sopranos” came to an abrupt end, this prequel movie is well made and perfectly cast but feels like it belongs like it would have been better suited as part of an HBO limited series as opposed to a movie. The end of this movie leaves room for a … Continue reading #103 Film in 2021: The Many Saints of Newark
#102 Film in 2021: The Guilty
https://youtu.be/NaB_ERMAZu4 2.5/10 If you know nothing about this movie going in and check it out on Netflix, you will most likely enjoy it. However, if you follow film as closely as I do, you will know this is an American remake of the 2018 Danish film from writer/director Gustav Möller. The original film can be … Continue reading #102 Film in 2021: The Guilty
#101 Film in 2021: The Eyes of Tammy Faye
https://youtu.be/eMMLRnXPPJk 8/10 After watching the 1990 Lifetime movie “Fall From Grace” (Kevin Spacey plays Jim Bakker and the title couldn’t be more ironic for a Spacey movie) followed by the 2000 documentary “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”, this film adaptation keeps the documentary title but drastically improves the quality in this entertaining, emotional and well … Continue reading #101 Film in 2021: The Eyes of Tammy Faye
#100 Film in 2021: Cry Macho
https://youtu.be/JVc8SI5CAKw 4/10 I figured for my 100th theatrical movie review of 2021, I would watch the movie from the director who is nearly 100 years old himself. Despite this not being a good movie, there is no denying how insanely impressive it is that a 91 year old man has the energy to produce, act … Continue reading #100 Film in 2021: Cry Macho
#99 Film in 2021: Copshop
https://youtu.be/wgdLO-U2mDQ 3.5/10 A forgettable movie that largely falls flat, “Copshop” has a few redeeming qualities but not quite redeeming enough to warrant going out to see this. This is one of those movies that if you have nothing else to watch and just need to kill some time, you can watch it on a streaming … Continue reading #99 Film in 2021: Copshop
#98 Film in 2021: The Lost Leonardo
https://youtu.be/j0lXLGgQjYY 8/10 The fascinating true story of what may or may not be the last known painting from Leonardo da Vinci, “The Lost Leonardo” tracks the discovery of the “Salvator Mundi” painting and then tracks its sales as it has moved all around the world over the past 15 years or so. I thought this … Continue reading #98 Film in 2021: The Lost Leonardo
#97 Film in 2021: The Card Counter
https://youtu.be/7RvVT1cDiNc 6.5/10 My 17th Most Anticipated Film of 2021, “The Card Counter” comes from Paul Schrader, whose last film “First Reformed” was a damn near masterpiece until it fell apart near the very end. “First Reformed” ending on a sour note didn’t detour my high expectations for this film and while the ending doesn’t fall … Continue reading #97 Film in 2021: The Card Counter
