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 […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C With Jason Statham dominating my list of the worst movies of 2023, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to The Beekeeper. Add in that this movie is directed by David Ayer, who previously brought us utter crap like Suicide Squad and End of Watch, and I felt a certain sense of […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ Legendary Hong Kong action filmmaker John Woo finally makes his return to America with Silent Night and I’m scratching my head as to why he bothered. Aside from a rather dumb gimmick that I will discuss in a minute, Silent Night is a generic and dull revenge flick that is […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C If you aren’t like me at all, you have spent the eight years since the release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 wondering when we would finally get a film explaining the origin of series villain Coriolanus Snow. Well, the day has finally arrived and the completely unnecessary […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: F Yikes. Back in the 90s, it was commonplace for action sequels to be relegated to straight-to-video releases once interest had dropped, the main stars were no longer returning and the budgets were reduced to the level of a high school play. For instance, there are three sequels to Bloodsport that […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C+ I’m a sucker for a good, old-fashioned vigilante movie and the original The Equalizer (from 2014) is one of the better examples of the subgenre from the last decade. The film also fits nicely into the “normal looking guy is actually a trained killer” subgenre that has been oddly popular […]
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: 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 […]
