Top 10 Underrated Franchise Films!
The last twenty articles I’ve published have all been reviews of new movies. As much as I love being a film critic and all of the privileges that have come with this wonderful job, I want to step away from a standard movie review for a bit and write something I’m genuinely passionate about.

My Review of "Hard Ball"
Hard Ball is an underdog baseball movie that came out in 2001. 20 years ago things were quite different from what they are today. So you'll see a lot of things here that people today kind of complain about. As a movie itself it's kind of a paint by numbers story but still enjoyable.

Movie Review: 'Materna'
Materna has the look and feel of a very good movie. The images at play and elements of the stories being told are really strong and in my very soul I wish I could recommend Materna but sadly I can’t. The bad in this case outweighs the good in Materna far too often from the strange choice of including a sci-fi tinged story in a movie that contains no other element of the supernatural, to letting segments linger for too long, minor issues keep creeping up until you realize that the whole of Materna never congeals into a singular, united story.

Harry Potter Characters' Appearance In The Books Vs. The Movies
Film adaptations of popular books rarely please the majority of their existing fanbases, but Harry Potter succeeds in bringing the magic of J.K. Rowling's stories to life. Though the films occasionally stray from the source material, the essence of the story and its characters is very much there.

Review: "The Suicide Squad"
James Gunn had crafted arguably one of the most successful franchises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and outside of that he has seen success in smaller films so when it was announced that he had jumped ship to do The Suicide Squad there was a good bit of hype behind the film. The Suicide Squad was largely butchered in it's previous installment with poorly written characters as well as a poor and uneven plot that was ruined probably by studio pressure. The marriage of Gunn and Suicide Squad on the surface seemed like a perfect pairing as his eye for comedy and off-beat characters fit the bill really well for the franchise. Unlike a majority of DC films as of late, The Suicide Squad doesn't miss the mark. Gunn has crafted one of the best films to date and possibly the most purely enjoyable films to have released so far this year.

Movie Review: 'The Suicide Squad'
The Suicide Squad is a yawning chasm where fun should be. This R-rated action-comedy from the often very funny James Gunn is sadly a loud, obnoxious and unconvincing superhero movie. The Suicide Squad is an attempt by Warner Media to make up for the historic failure that was the 2016 disaster, Suicide Squad, minus the ‘The.’ The Suicide Squad is certainly an improvement over the edited in a blender and assembled by blind monkey’s 2016 abomination but that was an incredibly low bar to step over.

Rising Wolf stars Charlotte Best as Aria, a young woman who has been kidnapped. Aria is trapped inside an elevator; only the doors won’t open. This being a very modern elevator it has a video wall on the back, one capable of being used to live stream and a camera where Aria can be seen by her captors. As the story of Rising Wolf unfolds we learn that Russian gangsters have kidnapped Aria’s father, Richard (Johnny Pasolvsky) and they want him to reveal a state secret.

Movie Review: 'John and the Hole'
John and the Hole is a haunting and often confounding film. Directed by famed visual artist Pascual Sisto, this unusual story carries echoes of the work of Gus Van Sant, his more meandering dramas such as Elephant or Last Days with the difference being that Sisto has a more distinct purpose. The austere sharpness of the images is given more urgency in Sisto’s work perhaps because he is working in genre, he’s making a thriller as opposed to Van Sant’s medium of formless observation.

The Jungle Cruise Review
A Triumph! The short read A magnificent triumph of a family adventure film, fast paced, stella performances, and rewarding fun throughout. It’s been compared to Indiana Jones, and rightly so but with a modern Disney vibe that shines throughout. Scary in small measure, it delivers above its weight.
