The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B Mission: Impossible has become one of the most surprisingly consistent and enjoyable film franchises going today, which is amazing considering that it started way back in 1996. I was freaking twelve years old when this series started, for crying out loud! And unlike James Bond, the main lead has never […]

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Insidious: The Red Door breaks the tradition of odd-numbered Insidious films being any good. Following the last two entries that serves as prequels to the original movie, The Red Door finally provides a sequel to Insidious: Chapter 2. However, Chapter 2, which was essentially an unnecessary and prolonged epilogue to […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C As with everyone else my age, I grew up a huge Indiana Jones fan. I watched the hell out of the first three movies (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom being my marginal favorite; more on that in a minute) and I think it’s a travesty that the series […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C- I should begin by acknowledging that I am seemingly the only person in the world that doesn’t like these movies. It’s not that I think Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and its predecessor are terrible films. It’s just that I really, really don’t care. I don’t care about the Miles Morales […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D It’s amazing that it has taken this long for a Flash movie to get made. In a world where we are getting to the bottom of the barrel when it comes to superheroes to bring to the big screen, The Flash is basically the last A-list character to get their […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Following Fast X, The Boogeyman and now Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the cinematic theme of summer 2023 seems to be movies that are unable to meet even the lowest of expectations. Like Fast X and The Boogeyman, I wasn’t expecting the latest Transformers to be a good movie (does anyone […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D- I’ve spent a lot of time ranting about my hatred of modern PG-13 horror movies in last few years. Despite my vehement dislike of these movies, I thought that I had become accustomed to this garbage. However, something about The Boogeyman broke my brain. I don’t know if it was […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B- Since I go to the movies every week, Sanctuary provided a valuable service in my life by giving me something other than the remake of The Little Mermaid to see in this particular week. I had somewhat resigned myself to seeing the latest entry in Disney’s trend of self-desecration before this […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: F I’ve seen worse movies than Fast X in the last couple of years. I’ve certainly seen movies that pissed me off more than Fast X did. Halloween Ends does exist, after all. But rarely do movies leave me feeling as empty inside as Fast X did. Not since Grown Ups […]
Hypnotic
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Hypnotic, a new film from director Robert Rodriguez, is just a mess. In a way, though, it’s an intriguing mess. This film starts as a fairly entertaining cop thriller and then goes off the frigging rails with so many plot twists that I couldn’t remember how the movie started by the […]
