I.S.S.

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 Beekeeper

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 […]

Night Swim

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 […]

The Worst Films of 2023

               Happy new year again! Let’s talk about the utter crap that came out in 2023!                The ground rules are the same as for the list of my favorite movies of the year. I want to emphasize that a movie must receive a theatrical release in order to qualify for this list. If it […]

My Favorite Films of 2023

Happy New Year! First, I want to thank everyone that read any of my reviews this year. This is a hobby and passion project of mine and I don’t make a cent off of it. I just love movies and talking about movies, so I appreciate anyone that takes the time to read my ranting. […]

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D                Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the swan song for the DC Cinematic Universe (or whatever it’s called) that started back in 2013 with Man of Steel. With the DC films being fully rebooted with a new Superman movie in 2025, let’s all pause for a moment of silence in […]

Napoleon

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B-               Legendary director Ridley Scott’s recent work has been a bit hit or miss and Napoleon somehow falls into both categories. I was eagerly awaiting this film based on the trailers and Scott’s pedigree, but it ultimately doesn’t deliver on what I want from a biopic about one of the greatest, […]

Silent Night

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 Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

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 […]

Godzilla Minus One

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C+                I’m pissed that critic Adam Ollinger used the line “Godzilla Minus Fun” because I had that line in my head since I saw this movie last week. Regardless, I’m joining him as one of very few people on the internet that don’t love this movie. I don’t hate it, but […]
