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 […]
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 […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- I had pretty much given up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ever since Avengers: Endgame, these movies have ranged from mediocre to awful, with the majority of them leaning closer to the latter. Even though the original Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite MCU movie, I was completely indifferent […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: A- Sisu is the latest entry in the currently popular action subgenre of “don’t mess with a normal looking guy because he might actually be a complete badass and slaughter you.” This oddly specific subgenre is typified by Nobody and the John Wick movies and the trailers even spotlighted this connection […]
