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: F This is the first time that I’ve ever discussed Disney animation on this site, so I need to go off on a bit of a rant before I really get into this dumpster fire. So let me summarize my thoughts on this movie before going off on a tangent: Strange […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B This being the least-advertised Steven Spielberg movie of all time, I had no idea what it was about going into it. I never saw a trailer, a commercial, even a poster, nothing. I only knew the title and that it’s a Spielberg movie. So, I didn’t know if this was […]
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: B- Bones and All comes to us from director Luca Guadagnino, who I know from his godawful remake of Suspiria in 2018 (I know that film has a lot of fans, but I must respectfully say that you’re all out of your fucking minds). Between those two films, I now have […]
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: C I seemingly wrote the world’s only negative review of the first Black Panther back in 2018 and I’ve suspected that that review is one of the main reasons why my applications to monetize my website have been denied. Well, I’m still not making any money off of this, so I […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C While watching Prey for the Devil, I had a constant and nagging feeling that I had seen this movie before. There are two reasons for this. First, I gradually remembered that I had seen trailers for this movie a year ago when it was called The Devil’s Light and scheduled […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D The Rock has been talking about making a Black Adam movie since the late 2000s. Given that amount of time for planning, its kind of amazing how uninteresting the final product is. Black Adam is a failure as both a standalone movie and when considered as an adaptation, but its […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B- Terrifier 2 is being distributed by Cinedigm Entertainment Group and I would like to take a moment to marvel at the massive set of balls on this company. I don’t know how they did it, but they booked the uncut, NC-17 (officially unrated) version of this movie into 800+ theaters. […]
