Alright, so put all the lame jokes you may have heard about this movie aside because it wasn’t actually that bad. I was indeed quite surprised by not just the acting but by the story as well. Yes, you’d have to just put aside that hilarious movie poster along with the movie title, but once…

There’s a lot of things that baffle the mind in the sports world. From unbelievable comebacks to watching insane catches, runs, throws, and defensive plays, crazy things happen all the time. With today’s insanely athletic young players, young and even quite old, there can always be a reason to watch and keep up with sports.…

Well, this one was a waste of time. I did have some hope that it would be better than average, if only a little. However, even that glimmer of hope proved to be just a little too much. I don’t believe there was one original idea throughout the entire movie from start to finish. Nicolas…

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Holland, only to be completely surprised at the low score it received, currently sitting at 5/10 on IMDb with 6.3k ratings so far. WHAT? Like really…WHAT??

And……the stupidest-and-most-boring-but-you’re-not-supposed-to-complain-about-it-because-it’s-supposed-to-be-a-fun-and-lighthearted-movie I’ve watched in 2025 goes to The Monkey. I’m starting to believe that anything Stephen King touches within the past decade or so is just not for me and that includes his novels. The Salem’s Lot remake was just pure putrid bile. Fairy Tale I couldn’t even bring myself to finish even though…
