Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Movie Review

This sequel ramps things up considerably and loses sight of what made the first edition so charming. It was always going to be silly and that’s not necessarily a deterrent to having fun. It just now feels bloated and trying too hard to be entertaining.   //   There are some amusing gags and enjoyable homages to classic films like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Raiders of the Lost Ark but it never comfortably finds its comic groove. The visuals have been elevated at the ...

Black Friday Movie Review

Building on an already crazy premise (that consumption orgy in America that traditionally occurs on the fourth Friday of November), this Black Friday follows the beleaguered staff at a toy store. The fun begins when a pulsating chunk of flesh comes rocketing through the tin roof of the store and infects an employee stupid enough to look it face to blob and not run away as most sane folks would.   //   You can tell from the opening that things aren’t going to go well ...
