The Naked Gun Movie Review

The new Frank Drebin (this time the son), played by Liam Neeson, gets almost all the nuances correct, even the deadpan look when a joke bombs (intentionally or not). The Priscilla Presley character is played by Pamela Anderson this time, and she gets the mix of naivety and gumption right as well. Paul Walter Hauser also successfully stars as the old Police Chief’s son   //   All that is needed now is a silly plot to contain all the shenanigans, and this one is cobbled ...

Eddington Movie Review

A lot of your enjoyment of Eddington will be based on how much you’ve recovered from that undeniably bleak period of time.

These include conspiracy theories, government over governance and the big bad that lurks behind all unexplained plot points in films such as this. It’s an intoxicating medley.   //   Set in a small, downwardly mobile town in New Mexico, Eddington has seen ...

Nobody 2 Movie Review

Staying true to the law of diminishing returns, part two trades those rewarding elements of surprise for a supercharged bad guy (or girl in this case) and even more extreme carnage. It’s not as much of a stand-out as part one, but it is still a lot of fun. The fun this time is provided by Sharon Stone as Lendina and her gang of deadly malcontents. She almost vibrates with ramped-up energy and neurosis.   //   Revolving around a much-needed family vacation, the Mansells ...
