Film Review – Beverly Hill Cop: Axel F

July 6th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Part of what made the first Beverly Hills Cop (1984) a success was the perfect blend between performer and character. On one hand, you had Axel Foley, a fast-talking Detroit detective getting dropped in the middle of Rodeo Dr. and causing a whole bunch of mischief. He…

Film Review – Daddio

June 27th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Why are cab rides such good stages for character studies? It seems every few years we get a release involving two characters deep in conversation while coasting along a stretch of road. Is it the intimacy – the confined spaces that lend to people opening…

Film Review – A Family Affair

June 27th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

A Family Affair (2024) is the kind of rom-com that could’ve done gangbusters about twenty to thirty years ago. All the ingredients are there: big name stars dressed in fancy outfits, a plot that is way more convoluted and messier than it needs to be, and…

Film Review – Trigger Warning

June 23rd, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The most thrilling action scene of Trigger Warning (2024) takes place during the opening scene. That does not bode well for the rest of the movie. We’re brought deep into the deserts of Syria, where a squad of American soldiers – led by Parker (Jessica Alba) –…

Film Review – Brats

June 14th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The term “Brat Pack” comes with a host of different meanings. For many movie fans, it represents a wave of actors in their early 20s who took Hollywood by storm in the 1980s. As the film industry transitioned out of the ‘70s, so did the…

Film Review – Exhuma

June 3rd, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Tense, chilling, and multi-layered, writer/director Jang Jae-hyun’s Exhuma (2024) is a spooky horror mystery. To say that this is only a ghost story would be insufficient, as Jang starts from a supernatural/occult angle but uses it to broaden his thematic scope. There are elements of family legacy, the…

Backspot4

Film Review – Backspot

May 30th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Backspot (2023) depicts the world of competitive cheer. Don’t let the smiles, glittery outfits, and upbeat music fool you – to be a champion level squad takes dedication, hard work, and sacrifice. Injuries, doubt, and the fear of being replaced are a constant presence. We saw…

Atlas4

Film Review – Atlas

May 26th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Atlas (2024) is a massive misfire in almost every conceivable fashion. It’s a sci-fi actioner that fails to excite, provoke, or entertain. To say that it underwhelms in nearly all phases of execution would be an understatement. Worst of all, it wastes the talent of Jennifer Lopez.…
