Happy New Year! First, I want to thank everyone that read any of my reviews this year. This is a hobby and passion project of mine and I don’t make a cent off of it. I just love movies and talking about movies, so I appreciate anyone that takes the time to read my ranting. […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- Babylon is the movie that I wanted Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to be. The Tarantino flick was loved by critics and it bored me to tears. Babylon is hated by critics and I loved it. Go figure. The film is about the silent era of Hollywood as […]
2022 has drawn to a close and it was quite a mixed bag for cinema. On the plus side, we had some really great films this. On the downside, we had far more mediocre-to-terrible movies. Top Gun: Maverick is the year’s top-grossing film and was unexpectedly bounced from my top five in the last week […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- Violent Night is one of those concepts that seems so obvious and simple that it’s amazing that it took so long for someone to make it: It’s Die Hard, but what if it was Santa Claus instead of John McClane? Fucking brilliant, right? Why hasn’t anyone done this before? While […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- I really didn’t know what to expect going into The Menu, so it’s fitting that it shares several things in common with Barbarian from a couple of months ago. First, they are from directors that have primarily been chugging along with television work and have few films to their credit. […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- Well, this is not what I was expecting. If you haven’t seen Barbarian, then I suggest that you stop reading this after the first paragraph and go see it. While I’m going to avoid spoilers as much as possible, this is a movie that you want to go into completely […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A The Black Phone is my favorite movie of 2022 so far and a reminder that horror is my favorite genre despite how much I hate most modern horror films. Based on a short story by Joe Hill (aka Stephen King’s son), this is the most original horror movie that I’ve […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- I wasn’t writing reviews yet when the first Suicide Squad was released in 2016, but that’s probably for the best as I’m not sure if my vocabulary could adequately describe my hatred for that loathsome piece of shit. The Suicide Squad doesn’t exactly have an inspired title, but otherwise feels […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B+ First, I have to give Paramount credit for the title of this movie. Nowadays, I expected this to be called A More Quiet Place or A Quiet Place: Requiem for Sound or Silence: From the Book of A Quiet Place or some ridiculous nonsense. But, no, they went with the simple […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- As a general rule when seeing a remake, I try to watch the original first. Wrath of Man is a remake of a 2004 French film titled Cash Truck (or Le Convoyeur, in whatever language the French speak) and, as best as I can tell, this movie is frigging impossible to […]
