Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey did so well, that the studio is making a series of monster-verse style films such as Peter Pan, Bambi and Mad Hatter. These will be part of the Poohniverse, coming in 2025. I hate this!

The next generation of moviegoers seems to be missing. As a parent, I can see how things have shifted in the movie industry and what little interest my own kids have. Hollywood is poorly marketing to the next generation while still pandering to people who grew up in the 80's and 90's. By trying to reach everyone; they are reaching no one. Will the movie industry be able to survive when kids born in the 2000s and later start to get older? Is it too late at this point to reach them since they have to compete with social media, YouTube, Twitch and a variety of streaming services and short-form content? I go over all of this today!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Spoilers ahead! I talk about the good but mostly the bad of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. You would think a film about busting ghosts would actually featuring some. The films relies heavily on nostalgia and little on a storyline that makes a lick of sense. I break it all down on a spoiler from Ghostbusters 4 review!

Immaculate 2024 Movie Review - Sydney Sweeney gets to showcase her acting chops in a new horror film based around a convent. Yes, the nun thing in horror has definitely been played out over the years but the simple premise and solid execution make Immaculate a very easy watch. Well, easy if you can handle the material.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Movie Review - The Ghostbusters are back... kinda. The old dogs grab the proton packs for yet another last ride while the kids take center stage. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is all over the place with characters, storylines and nostalgia overload. At points, the film nails down the tone and at others, it again gets lost in the weeds. I just don't care about these Ghosbusters movies anymore but perhaps you still will. I give my thoughts.

Road House Movie Review - Another remake just hit Amazon Prime in 2024. This time it's the action classic, Road House.

The Strong Female Lead messaging out of Hollywood lately has been insulting and not a very bankable premise. I go over how the movie industry has tried to transform female action stars and superheroes into these perfect, boring characters instead of just focusing on making good stories.

Netflix Irish Wish Movie Review - Lindsay Lohan is back (again) in a brand new Netflix original movie called Irish Wish. A film so bad, it makes Hallmark movies look like Oppenheimer. Irish Wish comes out just in time for St. Patrick's Day but if you found yourself watching this over the weekend; I pity what your life has become. I kinda pity Lindsay Lohan too for starring in these recent movies. Here are my thoughts on Irish Wish!

Love Lies Bleeding Movie Review - A24 is back with another wild movie. This time revolving around a gay bodybuilding and a new woman in her life with a mysterious past. Love Lies Bleeding is a thriller with a bit of a twist. It gets a bit artsy for my liking but overall I enjoyed this one enough to recommend it to those that like movies that are a bit out there.

Netflix Damsel Movie Review (2024) - Damsel is a new fantasy action film starring Millie Bobby Brown. It's one of those rare Netflix movies that manages to keep my attention and not be dragged out for an obnoxious amount of time. Damsel has a simple premise, carried by Millie Bobby Brown's performance. Not a bad watch with the family.

There are a lot of movie critics in 2024. There are a lot of critics, in general. I think it's good to have a voice and an approach that makes you unique. Of course, that approach might not work for everyone. I, above all else, will review a movie from a place of honesty and passion. I might not always get it right in the eyes of the masses but my goals are always the same. To entertain and share my opinions on film.

Ricky Stanicky Movie Review - Amazon has another streaming exclusive for you to avoid. This R-rated comedy stars John Cena and Zack Efron but they don't get near enough to work with. I also can't believe this is a Farrelly Brothers movie; well one of them. It has a very low-budget feel with some really unlikable characters. I didn't feel joy watching this. I felt sadness.

Spaceman Movie Review - Adam Sandler teams up once again with Netflix to make another bad movie exclusive. Spaceman is a chore to sit through with incredibly slow pacing, a thin plot and really nothing exciting to be seen. Nice visuals cannot carry this slog. #netflix #spaceman

Blumhouse Imaginary Movie Review - It's about a bear that's not scary and does nothing. What a ride... Blumhouse is incredibly hit and miss with Imaginary easily falling in the miss, category. I really had nothing nice to say about this one. Save your money. I imagined something better.

Kung Fu Panda 4 Movie Review - Po is back in action, taking on Chameleon. A shape-shifting villain that poses pretty much zero threat. In fact, I felt pretty much nothing during the duration of Kung Fu Panda 4. It's just there. The characters are unremarkable, Po's friends are missing and the overall story is just not interesting. Kung Fu Panda 4 is easily the worst of the franchise.

The Matrix Resurrections (The Matrix 4) is, in my opinion, the worst movie sequel ever created. Not the worst movie but easily the most insulting sequel to ever hit screens. The original trilogy is iconic for a reason. It shaped action films for a generation. It gave us amazing characters. It had extremely memorable action with top-notch choreography. This new movie removes all of that and instead focuses on a stupid story with meta commentary as the primary driver. There have been a lot of theories as to why this movie turned out the way it did but none of them honestly matter. At the end of the day, The Matrix Resurrections is terrible. It lacks the appeal and craft of the original. I hate this movie from top to bottom and for the next 40 minutes, I tell you exactly why!

I chat about the differences between movie fans and movie consumers and why the latter shouldn't act like they know what they are talking about! Movie critics are often fans as well, with deep knowledge about the medium and a deeper love for the movies!

This Is Me... Now Movie Review - Jennifer Lopez is back on the big screen with a new Amazon Prime exclusive movie. I guess she's not really on the big screen and I'm not sure this is really classified as a movie. It's more or less torture on all the senses. A film that doubles as marketing for her new album. This Is Me... Now is a self-indulgent, musical journey into the mind of J-Lo. Often hitting CATS levels of cringe. It's all around miserable.

Dune: Part 2 Movie Review - The second installment in the Dune saga is finally here! I was really impressed with Dune: Part 1 so my expectations were very high for this second installment. I was left even more impressed the second time around. Here are my thoughts on Dune: Part 2!

It's no secret that Hollywood has had a problem with race in films over the years. White people often got parts that should have gone to actors of color. This has changed over the years with some upset that now things have been overcorrected or gotten out of control on the other end. Black actors are now replacing white ones in iconic roles. My thoughts on this are far more nuanced and I can see where both sides are coming from on the issue. I give my full thoughts and hope you join me in the comments!

Drive-Away Dolls is the first film by Ethan Coen solo. I hated it! The film features a couple of gals on a road trip with a mysterious case. They are really looking to get laid in the process. Meanwhile, some bad guys are hot on their tail. A simple premise that unfortunately leaves no room for good jokes or interesting settings. It's shot and edited in such a strange fashion, it almost seems like an experiment to see how bad Coen can make this and still get praised by the fans. Check out the video for the full Drive-Away Dolls breakdown and subscribe for more movie reviews!

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 1 is now streaming on Netflix. The live-action reboot of the beloved series seems almost destined to fail but I gave it a shot and was honestly surprised by the final product! Here are my first impressions on the first 2 episodes of the new series.

Alright, it's time to address the constant string of bad ideas and terrible movies coming out of Hollywood the last few years. It seems to me that they are trying to cater to a fanbase that doesn't feel like supporting their crap. Meanwhile, movie fans have to pay the price. We are sick of it!

Ordinary Angels Movie Review- Everyone is super excited for Dune 2 and some critics got to see it early. Well I got to see Ordinary Angels early... so not really the same thing. That's okay though because this movie was actually pretty good! I give the pros and cons of Ordinary Angels in my review so check it out and subscribe for more!

Borderlands finally dropped the first full trailer and it looks pretty great. It definitely reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy and Dungeons & Dragons. Here's hoping for another awesome film from Eli Roth! #borderlands
