2008 movie reviews
  1. Memorable? Hardly. Entertaining? Somewhat. Ultimately, the film will resonate with the people eager to devour more Stephen King-inspired projects; sadly, there is nothing genuinely inspired to enjoy.
  2. What could have been a thoughtful, poignant story about loss ended up being an unfortunate misfire.
  3. Despite great performances from Lily Collins and Simon Pegg, Inheritance is weighed down by heavy exposition and its overly ambitious story.
  4. A movie that means well, looks solid and is brimming with acting talent, but has neither the script nor the soul to bring home the bacon.
  5. It's a pleasant film that showcases its talented cast, and while it may not be groundbreaking or innovative, it at least offers amusement.
  6. The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild is the sixth movie in the Fox animated franchise, and it is easily the worst entry in the series so far.
  7. The script is far from perfect but if one squints, there is occasional fun to be had.

    While The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter is lacking compared to the book and first movie, it's still an entertaining kid's adventure.
  8. The lingering lesson in all of this is Megan Fox deserves better and Big Gold Brick is a solid turd of a movie.
  9. It is easy to see the potential in the first act, but Purple Hearts leans too much into over-sentimentality, with narrative tricks designed to trigger tears and subdue thinking.
  10. The dynamics needed to be defined better, and despite some compelling filmmaking, the flagrant disregard for characterization reduces Fear The Night to a mildly tolerable home invasion horror.
  11. Hurry Up Tomorrow isn’t awful. It stays at the surface, really afraid to interrogate any deeper than required, but it has its moments and aesthetic flair.
  12. Poolman is an unfunny spoof of neo-noir thrillers with hazy direction, even messier storytelling, and unbearable dialogue.
  13. Some adaptations, it seems, are far less equal than others.
  14. Infinite certainly has the star power to ignite some interest, and it's an entertaining ride with a compelling concept. At the same time, it buckles under the weight of its own world-building and suffers from a surprising lack of urgency.
  15. Dangerous is an action movie with a unique premise, but its poor writing, stiff acting, and lack of charm make the 2021 movie borderline unwatchable.
  16. There is nothing remarkable or special about Blacklight — it's fairly empty, a boilerplate series of dialogue, action, dialogue. However, it is fun to witness Neeson do what he does so well and lose oneself in the thrilling familiarity of hand-to-hand combat and shootouts.
  17. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 shows a better grip on its overall tone and character development than its predecessor.
  18. Shattered is a poorly-acted home invasion tale with laughably predictable twists, amping thorough frustration in viewers by dragging on to no end.
  19. Assassin Club has the benefit of starring a relatively well-known actor, but even Golding can't save this movie from its mediocrity. Any hope Assassin Club had of being good is squandered within the first ten minutes.
  20. It's fun enough to keep audiences mostly entertained for its hour and 45 minute runtime, but there's nothing particularly memorable to latch onto - not the CGI animals, not the fantasy world and not even Downey Jr's performance.
  21. Blanchett knows exactly what movie she's in, and she seems to be having the time of her life fitting herself into the mold of a video game heroine.
  22. While there are a few jumpscares during the family's stay in the farmhouse, the film is more geared towards evoking a feeling of uneasiness than truly frightening us.
  23. Madame Web is boring, unimaginative and dated, despite being one of very few superhero movies centering on female superheroes. All in all, Madame Web is a superhero movie you can absolutely skip.
  24. It’s fraught with frenetic energy and delightfully charming performances, but Blithe Spirit is not as funny or absurd as it sets out to be.
  25. The film tends to bite off more than it can chew, and the end result is a colossal disappointment.
  26. The dialogue is clunky and almost universally awkwardly performed, much more so than in the first movie. The tonal mix of horror and silliness feels more jarring than complementary, and the filmmaking, which could accomplish so much just by sticking to genre fundamentals, is often egregiously sedate.
  27. It's rare that a film is this devoid of characterization, rarer still that a serial killer horror is this lacking in tension.

    This film has everything that makes a disaster film as an actual film disaster. With unconvincing effects, bland performances and a convoluted story, When Time Ran Out… is a dud, critically and financially.
  28. Me Time may not be a groundbreaking entry into Netflix’s catalog, but it offers reliable laughs for anyone needing an escape from their own hectic reality.
