THE FALL GUY Review – MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE Lite?
The problem with THE FALL GUY is that it’s not really about the world of stunt performers, and nor does it do enough to truly recognize their contributions to cinema. The opening monologue rewrites what’s classic from the TV series, and the movie (METALSTORM) being made within this movie vaguely hints at it. But unless […]

EMMAGEDDON Review – Character Drama & Satire in an Imagined World

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are two very visually attractive people in a current day and age where not every movie seems to follow the romantic comedy trend of two good looking people falling in love. So ANYONE BUT YOU feels like a bit of a throwback to the 80s and 90s comedies with a […]
