The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D- I was seemingly one of very few people that hated Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but the trailers made me hopeful for this latest entry. While Afterlife was manipulative nostalgia porn that was completely beholden to the original Ghostbusters, Frozen Empire looked to finally be escaping from that film’s shadow and seemed inspired by […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: F I’ll be honest, I’m running out of ways to say the same things about these horrendous PG-13 horror movies. I could just take my review of Night Swim or Five Nights at Freddy’s, change some nouns and repost it and it would essentially be the same thing. Like those films, […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ I’ve been putting off writing this review because, contrary to popular belief, I don’t like being “that guy.” I don’t like being that one guy that trashes something that everyone else loves. I’ve spent the last five days reading the almost universally positive reviews for Dune: Part Two and trying […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Drive-Away Dolls is the first solo directorial effort from Ethan Coen, one half of the legendary filmmaking duo the Coen Brothers. When Ethan combined with Joel Coen, the Coen Brothers brought us such films as Miller’s Crossing, Fargo, The Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men. The brothers semi-retired […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D When most people saw the trailer for Madame Web, they collectively asked the same question: What the fuck is this? That includes star actress Dakota Johnson, who quit her talent agency when the trailer was released. Having now seen the film, I can’t answer that question, but I can add […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B- Lisa Frankenstein has been described by many critics as being like a John Hughes script directed by Tim Burton and, yeah, that is pretty accurate. Whether or not that description piques your interest will probably determine your enjoyment of this movie and I admittedly enjoyed it more than I expected. […]
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+ I.S.S. is one of those movies that doesn’t live up to its own concept. Coming from a relatively unknown director (Gabriela Cowperthwaite) and featuring a relatively unknown cast (although I’ll elaborate on that), this is a movie that had me very intrigued by the trailer and ultimately a bit let […]
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: F 2024 gets right down to business with this pathetic excuse for a horror movie that is already the front-runner for the worst film of the year. It’s a tradition (for some reason) for a terrible horror movie to come out in January, so I didn’t exactly go into the theater […]
