Behind the Candelabra
Logan D. McCoy - wrote on 05/29/23
This insightful look behind said candelabra is a revealing dissection of the costs of fame and decadence, and adds one more excellent performance and film to star Michael Douglas and director Steven Soderbergh's extensive lists of works.

Fast X

Something, Something Family... but in a Good Way.
The first part of either a two-part or maybe a trilogy (it's still up in the air) to end the Fast and Furious franchise manages a fine balance between action and actual plot. Director Louis Leterrier promised to make the film more grounded in reality and, I do have to say, while there is still plenty of questionable action - it's at least less ridiculous than jumping cars between buildings or parachuting them and accurately landing.
Taking place several years after the last film, this one …

The Korean War is a fascinating subject for a dramatic story. it's too bad there aren't many good war movies about it. This is not one of them.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

I will start by saying I have never played the D&D games or know anything but what I've heard described from a couple people I know about Dungeons & Dragon's. I have no idea what they said because it was 30 years ago.
The movie itself manages to stay a float with some funny written bits, some over the top effects and a winning Chris Pine.
I can't lie some of the acting was pretty weak and some scenes felt like they were slipping into Disney-like sap but it kept coming up with just enough …

One Cut of the Dead ( Kamera o tomeru na! )

Me at the start: Yikes, this isn’t good at all. I can’t believe this got glowing reviews. I thought the whole thing was about zombies attacking a film crew, who are shooting a low-budget zombie film, but it looks so phony and ends quickly.
*Me midway through*
Oh, now I understand what they were going for. This is comedic gold.

Polite Society

I Have the Urge to Be Extremely Impolite
At a loss with this one. Its fight scenes operate on Musical logic, being diegetic but barely even ancillary. They are outrageous externalisations of grounded conflicts usually expressed through dialogue. An interesting conceit to give genre spark to a family drama story.
That's not what this film is, though. I mean yes, it DOES have elements of drama and every conflict in this film revolves around family and legacy, but it also has a villainous plot from the realms of science fiction and …

Okay so let's start by saying I loved the movie I thought it was epic and laugh out loud funny the story here never really ran dry and plot moved quick as a wink and the characters were awesome okay that being said I think it's a perfect Easter film but parents be mindful it's not rated PG for nothing at all there's a ton of violence here and peril that may traumatize the smallest of kids please sit close to the snack bar Incase you need a snack outing if you do take tinys but aside from that …
