By Kevin Hoskinson The world of stand up comedy can sometimes make an excellent setting for a film. Comedians make interesting characters because they are often the most complex, and their on-stage persona is something of an act. It creates an interesting dynamic between their personal lives and their professional lives, so it can usually produce a great story. Films […]

By Kevin Hoskinson I checked out about twenty minutes into this disaster. With Colin Farrell and Dame Judy Dench starring, combined with the directing talents of Sir Kenneth Branagh, it should have been a recipe for success. Sadly, we are left with a plot that doesn’t go anywhere and a world full of flat, boring characters. The plot sounds pretty […]

By Kevin Hoskinson Judd Apatow’s latest film treads familiar territory, but in a more mature way. Like most of his films, the protagonist is a grown man child trying to figure out where he fits in his own life and the world around him.

By Kevin Hoskinson “Now here’s a little story I’ve got to tell, About three bad brothers you know so well, It started way back in history, With Ad-Rock, MCA, and me, Mike D.” It has often been said that if a story is powerful enough, it doesn’t matter if you know how it ends. We often go back to our […]

By Kevin Hoskinson Blood Hunters: Rise Of The Hybrids feels like a comic book film through and through. It has action, thrills, and some interesting characters and creatures. It’s a low budget film that hits the mark and does it in the most ambitious way possible. The story is about a group of aswang hunters who are members of The […]

By Kevin Hoskinson Last Call gives us two unique perspectives on the same situation. It’s an important film that deals with the dark side of mental health, but also gives us the bright side of what it means to be a caring human being. Presented in one take and using split-screen, it offers a story of regret, loss, and forgiveness, […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Originally slated to debut in theaters, Trolls World Tour skipped its theatrical run and premiered at home due to COVID-19. It was a smart move on Dreamworks and Universal’s part to give those stuck in quarantine something new to enjoy, especially families desperate for new content after watching Frozen 2 for the hundredth time. And to tell […]

By Kevin Hoskinson The latest film from Pixar feels like a traditional offering from the studio, but it also sees the animation juggernaut try something a bit different. It hits all of the emotional buttons they are known for, all while exploring a world they have never ventured into before. The movie imagines a world where the world of fantasy […]
By Kevin Hoskinson One would think that a follow up to The Shining, the 1980 film or the original novel, wouldn’t work, and understandably so. The film is a classic piece of cinema, and millions around the world slept with their lights on after reading the book. But leave it to author Stephen King to prove the naysayers wrong. In […]
By Nolan P. Smith I held off on this review until the movie was released digitally, given the current COVID-19 situation with theaters being closed.

Directed by Dave Wilson, the film is based on the Valiant Comics hero Bloodshot, a mercenary […]
By Kevin Hoskinson While it’s an entertaining film, the latest in the Jumanji franchise never fires on all cylinders. It’s a film that balances the awe of the world with a mediocre plot and overblown set-pieces. It chooses spectacle over story, which is a shame because the cast is incredible, and the previous film was a welcome surprise. Jumanji: The […]
