Bullet Train (2022) Movie Review
The film “Bullet Train” is an action-packed movie that could easily have been an animated feature. It often looks and feels like one, taking place on a bullet train that is careening across Japan. The majority of the movie was shot on green-screened sets, and the cityscapes and countryside that the train rides through are mainly miniatures and CGI. The characters are a touch abstract, knowingly comic-bookish, and all are either paid killers or otherwise violent individuals connected with the world of crime.

Moloch (2022) Movie Review
Folklore is an endless source of inspiration for horror films, as many filmmakers have proven over the years. While some of these films are a mixed bag, they remain popular with genre enthusiasts. One such film is Moloch, a Dutch horror film that is sure to satisfy those who enjoy cult-like stories with fatal endings. However, for the average moviegoer, this film might not be worth the watch, especially if you're not a fan of unfinished resolutions shot in dim lighting and eccentric locations.

Emily The Criminal (2022) Movie Review

Day Shift (2022) Movie Review
Dollar theaters were once popular among movie-goers who could watch movies for a lower price after their initial release. Despite the often poor quality of the prints and sound, the cheap admission fee and atmosphere made them a haven for low-budget genre films such as R-rated horror, science fiction, and action movies, as well as smutty teen comedies and erotic thrillers. However, the rise of video rental stores in the 1990s caused the decline of dollar theaters.

Bandit (2022) Movie Review
Bandit, a film based on a true story, takes us back to an era where it would have been a TV movie of the week. Even today, it retains a non-"theatrical" feel. While it might have a future as a streaming rental, it's mostly due to Mel Gibson's name still holding some weight, despite his waning star power. However, the movie is anchored by Josh Duhamel, who exudes an easygoing charisma, making him a compelling reason to watch Bandit. Although it's technically a thriller, the movie is more of a dramedy, focusing on the unlikely exploits of a bank robber. Surprisingly, there's no body count, and no one suffers a serious injury. The reason for the movie's existence is that it's based on the life and times of Gilbert Galvan Jr., one of Canada's most successful bank robbers, who pulled off 59 consecutive heists – a record that still stands.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) Movie Review
“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” by Rian Johnson is a sequel to his 2019 hit film “Knives Out”. The movie has some hidden gems that are best experienced by watching the film without any prior knowledge. The film is a larger and flashier production with a longer running time and a bigger ensemble cast, but it does not surpass its predecessor. The film suffers from a repetitive midsection, and some supporting actors are underdeveloped despite some meaty and meaningful performances by Janelle Monáe, Kate Hudson, and Daniel Craig. The film benefits from watching it with an enthusiastic audience, and it is recommended to watch it before spoilers leak out.

The Man From Toronto (2022) Movie Review
Netflix’s “The Man From Toronto” follows the story of Teddy, played by Kevin Hart, who is an annoying, underachieving, and motormouthed character that would test anyone's patience. Director Patrick Hughes’ latest work is a 112-minute movie that combines multiple genres, such as dark comedy, hitman thriller, loser underdog flick, stand-up comedy vanity project, mistaken identity, and violent actioner, making it an obnoxious cinematic collage. It appears that many Netflix films are created solely to be played in the background while viewers fold laundry or vacuum cat hair from their IKEA furniture. Viewers could leave the movie every ten minutes without missing much.

Speak No Evil (2022) Movie Review
Bjørn and Patrick drive to an isolated location to release their pent-up aggression by screaming at the top of their lungs. Although Bjørn thinks that the animalistic ritual has brought them closer, it marks the beginning of the end for their friendship. Sune Kølster's unnerving orchestral score from the opening frames foreshadows the impending horror that awaits viewers in Danish actor-turned-director Christian Tafdrup's cautionary tale "Speak No Evil." The film explores the male anxiety of Swedish director Ruben Östlund's "Force Majeure" and the malevolence of Michael Haneke's "Funny Games."
