Baywatch movie review
Baywatch is directed by Seth Gordon and stars Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra and Alexanda Daddario.
Comedy movies come in different varieties: parody, satire, slapstick, mockumentary, spoof, goofy hijinks and physical comedy and then there’s movies like Baywatch which don’t really fit any of these sub-genres because they aren’t enjoyable to watch, they don’t have any theme or focus and worst of all, they aren’t funny.Read More »Baywatch movie review
Everything, Everything movie review
Everything, Everything is directed by Stella Meghie and stars Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson. Based on the same basic premise as last year’s The Space Between Us, this movie doesn’t even get so clever as to come up with an interstellar reason for the separation between its young teen love interests, instead re-hashing almost exactly the old 1976 TV movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble which starred John Travolta.Read More »Everything, Everything movie review
Alien: Covenant movie review
Alien: Covenant is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Michael Fassbender and Damien Bichir.
Ok, I’ve got a lot to say about this movie and about the Alien franchise in general.

But the timeline is screwy with these movies, so let’s unscrew them a little bit before we proceed to talk about Alien: Covenant.Read More »Alien: Covenant movie review
