The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C+ First of all, how am I supposed to pronounce the title of this movie? Is it supposed to be “Godzilla and Kong?” If so, when did “x” start to mean “and?” It isn’t “Godzilla versus Kong” because that was the last movie. Is it a math problem, like “Godzilla Times […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B+ Low expectations can sometimes be a blessing. Based on the trailers, I expected Immaculate to be another jump-scare filled possession movie, the sort that makes up about 90% of modern horror films. In particular, the film looked nearly identical to Prey for the Devil, last year’s shitty jump-scare horror movie […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B- I actually saw Arthur the King before Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire but I’ve been putting off reviewing it because, well, it’s fine. It isn’t great, it isn’t bad, it’s just fine. I mean it’s supposed to be an inspirational movie about a dog and it delivers on that promise. I doubt […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D- I was seemingly one of very few people that hated Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but the trailers made me hopeful for this latest entry. While Afterlife was manipulative nostalgia porn that was completely beholden to the original Ghostbusters, Frozen Empire looked to finally be escaping from that film’s shadow and seemed inspired by […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: F I’ll be honest, I’m running out of ways to say the same things about these horrendous PG-13 horror movies. I could just take my review of Night Swim or Five Nights at Freddy’s, change some nouns and repost it and it would essentially be the same thing. Like those films, […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ I’ve been putting off writing this review because, contrary to popular belief, I don’t like being “that guy.” I don’t like being that one guy that trashes something that everyone else loves. I’ve spent the last five days reading the almost universally positive reviews for Dune: Part Two and trying […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Drive-Away Dolls is the first solo directorial effort from Ethan Coen, one half of the legendary filmmaking duo the Coen Brothers. When Ethan combined with Joel Coen, the Coen Brothers brought us such films as Miller’s Crossing, Fargo, The Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men. The brothers semi-retired […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D When most people saw the trailer for Madame Web, they collectively asked the same question: What the fuck is this? That includes star actress Dakota Johnson, who quit her talent agency when the trailer was released. Having now seen the film, I can’t answer that question, but I can add […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B- Lisa Frankenstein has been described by many critics as being like a John Hughes script directed by Tim Burton and, yeah, that is pretty accurate. Whether or not that description piques your interest will probably determine your enjoyment of this movie and I admittedly enjoyed it more than I expected. […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ I’m still not sure if Argylle is overly ambitious or just stupid. I was looking forward to this movie based on the trailers and the pedigree of director Matthew Vaughn (who brought us the Kingsman movies, Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class), but Vaughn’s style and comedic sensibilities can’t overcome the […]
