Directed by Robert Zemeckis Back to the Future Part II moves lightning fast. It takes the premise of the first film, to travel in time to change just one thing, but then ramps it up by a factor of a hundred. Doc (Christopher Lloyd) and Marty (Michael J. Fox) travel not only to the future (2015), … Continue reading Back to the Future Part II (1989)

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019)
Directed by Chad Stahelski The third John Wick matches the energy of the first two, somewhat improbably, if only because the movie and its universe is already so unhinged. And yet all that ever-expanding chaos is somehow grounded within a strange but strict set of rules. It's John Wick's decision to break those rules at … Continue reading John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019)
Halloween (2018)
Directed by David Gordon Green Halloween turns Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) into a hunter on the 40th anniversary of the events of the original Halloween. She barricades herself in a cabin fortress somewhere in the woods, prepared for the day Michael Myers would come back for her. Whether she fears it or is excited … Continue reading Halloween (2018)
Glass (2019)
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan I loathed this movie, so much so that rather than assuming it's shoddily put together it must just be that it's not for me. I also didn't much care for Split (2016), so perhaps my complaints are a case of me barking up the wrong tree. M. Night Syamalan's Glass is as … Continue reading Glass (2019)
Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)
Directed by Steven S. DeKnight Pacific Rim: Uprising is very much just an 'okay' movie. I'm not sure what more there is to say. The performances are a bit of a drag, if only because there seems to be a lot of effort only to recapture what worked about the first movie, but the visual … Continue reading Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)
Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
Directed by Peyton Reed Okay, my first complaint with Ant-Man and the Wasp has nothing to do with the actual movie. Using moviepass, I had to pay surge pricing for a movie that had six people in attendance. It was also late, I had been traveling all day, and the point is that I probably didn't give … Continue reading Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
The Incredibles 2 (2018)
Directed by Brad Bird There's a lot to like in The Incredibles 2, so much so that I feel like my relative disappointment with the film is my fault. The story is fun and entertaining, and early reviews raved about the movie, but half of the story feels innovative, true to the core of what The Incredibles is … Continue reading The Incredibles 2 (2018)
