Uncharted (2022) Movie Review
When it comes to video game adaptations, it's not uncommon for them to be criticized for lacking a human element. However, Ruben Fleischer's film adaptation of the award-winning Sony game, "Uncharted", takes this criticism to new heights, feeling emptier than the game itself. Despite its use of green screen special effects and treasure-hunt plotting, "Uncharted" fundamentally lacks the sense of adventure that made the game so beloved.

Silverton Siege (2022) Movie Review
Silverton Siege is a film based on a fascinating true story that takes place in South Africa in January 1980. The movie follows three freedom fighters who are part of an African liberation movement that is set on ending the apartheid laws that were then turning the country into a state of white nationalists. The three outlaws - Calvin, Aldo, and Terra - are on the run from a botched mission to sabotage a string of petrol depots outside Watloo. Betrayed by someone on the inside, they find themselves in a desperate chase through the streets of Silverton after police captain Langerman sets his trap. The film tells a gripping story that combines the elements of an old-fashioned heist movie with a political edge.

The Adam Project (2022) Movie Review
According to renowned science fiction author David Brin, the only reason for time travel is to "make it didn't happen." It's a compelling notion to correct or prevent a single mistake, and time travel has become the backbone of some of our favorite rescue operation stories on the big screen. "The Adam Project" is one such tale that offers an enjoyable popcorn flick from the team behind last year's "Free Guy."

The Bad Guys (2022) Movie Review
“The Bad Guys” is an animated comedy film that begins with easy and breezy laughs, radiating Southern California cool. In a retro L.A. diner, a wolf named Wolf and a snake named Snake engage in snappy banter that we quickly become enthralled with. They push and pull, jostle and tug, all in good-natured fashion. The duo has probably had countless conversations like this over their years of friendship. But then, they do something unexpected - they get up, stroll casually across the street, and rob a bank. Pierre Perifel, making his feature directing debut, lays all of this out in one long, single take, drawing us into the characters and the world that they inhabit. It's an extremely familiar set-up, a subgenre unto itself: hyper-verbal thieves charm us into coming along for the ride and rooting for them to pull off their biggest heist yet.
