Split: Folks, M. Night Shyamalan is Back [Review]
I have not liked an M. Night Shyamalan movie since The Village and that came out 13 years ago. Since then, Shyamalan has made a string of awful, degrading movies. His most recent movie, The Visit, had an interesting concept (like all of his movies), but nothing stuck...
Monster Trucks: Great CGI & Watching Trucks Scale a Building is a Hoot [Review]
Oh January movies. I always mean to take January off but I went and saw Monster Trucks anyway. It’s directed by Chris Wedge, who directed the Ice Age movies. I have to admit, I am not the ideal audience for this film; it was not made for me. But I’m feeling well...
Silence: A Flawed, but Beautiful Look at Faith Under Fire [Review]
Given director Martin Scorsese’s film background, which mostly consists of stories centered around crime and gang violence, it comes as a surprise that Silence has been his passion project for 30 years. After numerous legal battles over the years, Scorsese was finally...

Underworld Blood Wars: Vampires vs Lycans, The supernatural Throwdown is Still Awesome [Review]
The only film to come to our little Canadian Village this week was Underworld: Blood Wars, so I went to see it. I’m glad I did. The Underworld series is right in my wheelhouse: I love the supernatural action films, especially when it’s monster-on-monster and the...

Assassin’s Creed: Visually Rich but Badly in Need of a Re-write [Review]
I could see one movie to review this week and the choice came down between Assassin’s Creed and Sing. One of these had already been given substantially lower viewer ratings than the other but it has also been given Michael Fassbender, one of the most handsome men...
Passengers: Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Pratt Can’t Save this Boring Space Odyssey [Review]
If you’re going to drop a sci-fi movie in late December and it’s directed by the guy who made The Imitation Game and stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy), you would expect a lot, right? I mean, I certainly would. On...
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – Make No Mistake This is a War Movie [Review]
My goodness, director Gareth Edwards had some pretty big shoes to fill - Rogue One had to bridge the fairly sizable gap between Episode III and IV, it had to tell a great story about how the plans for the Death Star were acquired, it had to fit thematically and...
