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: 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 […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D I only watched the first Den of Thieves about a week ago when I realized that the sequel would be the first major release of 2025. I’m not sure why I missed the original in theaters when it was released in 2018, but I went into it with zero expectations […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: F I seem to be in the minority on this, but I am not, in principle, opposed to the idea of a new Crow movie. Yes, the original movie is intrinsically and tragically tied to Brandon Lee’s legacy. However, one must consider two things: First, there have already been three terrible […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B+ Marvel Jesus, indeed. Deadpool & Wolverine has arrived to resuscitate the Marvel Universe, the once unstoppable juggernaut that has been on life support in recent years due to a string of critical and commercial flops (with the exception of the excellent Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3). The enormous box […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B I honestly didn’t have particularly high hopes going into Twisters. Actually, to put it more bluntly, I didn’t give a shit about this movie from the moment that it was announced. While the original Twister was a massive success back in 1996, I’m still not exactly sure why. It isn’t […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C First of all, it’s tragic that they wasted the Bad Boys for Life title on the third movie in this series. Did they not think that there would be a fourth one? They could have written it as Bad Boys 4 Life and it would have been so damn clever, […]
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- 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’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 […]
