The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C- I have probably mentioned this before, but Scream holds a special place in my heart. I saw the original Scream on opening night on December 19th, 1996 and expected very little from it. I was blown away and was very happy to see it become a surprise hit based on […]
I didn’t write many reviews in 2025 because of work and life getting in the way, but I still watched as many movies as I usually do. The last year had a few really fun movies and then there was, well, everything else. I think the most common grade I gave this year was a […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D James Cameron is truly a genius. I wasn’t a fan of the first two Avatar movies, but I had an epiphany somewhere during the third hour of watching Avatar: Fire and Ash. It was like lightning struck me and I had this grand moment of intellectual clarity. Alright, this will […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Watching the new I Know What You Did Last Summer is a lot like getting your dick stuck in a car door; it is really painful and you’re not sure how you got here. I do have a lot of nostalgia for the original movie from 1997 (and if you […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B+ Superman is one of my most anticipated movies of the year because I grew up reading Superman comics and, for the love of God, I just wanted to see a good Superman movie released during my lifetime. I don’t want a dark, gritty Superman. I want the Superman that I […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D This review has a prologue because I had a miserable experience watching this. I missed the first 20 minutes or so of Jurassic World: Rebirth. Oh, I was in the theater and watching the movie. I wasn’t late or anything. I was just completely distracted by my blinding hatred of […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D To just say this up front, these movies just aren’t my kind of thing when it comes to zombies; I am much more of a Romero-style zombie guy. I coincidentally caught some of Day of the Dead on television this morning, I have a signed Night of the Living Dead […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ I’m at a place now with the MCU that I can look at a mess like Captain America: Brave New World and think “well, that could have been worse.” And it could have been worse. This is a better film than, say, The Marvels or Eternals. It’s not good that […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ Being a huge fan of holiday slasher movies, I was very much looking forward to Heart Eyes. In my household, the calendar is secondary to viewings of Black Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and My Bloody Valentine in marking the passage of time. The basic premise of Heart Eyes asks an intriguing […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B Love Hurts is the directorial debut of Jonathan Eusebio, one of the preeminent stuntmen and fight choreographers in Hollywood over the last couple of decades. Most people won’t recognize his name, but they know his work from the John Wick movies, a whole bunch of Marvel movies, Jason Bourne movies […]
