'Suburbicon' (2017) Movie Review



Suburbicon finds frequent Coen Brothers collaborator George Clooney doing his best impersonation of the filmmaking siblings. Actually, I hope it’s not his best impersonation or we’ve got problems. Behind the camera, Clooney so obviously apes his pals that his film has no personality of its own.

'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' (2017) Movie Review



A snarky, modestly clever, at times startlingly violent riff on James Bond’s urbane international man of mystery, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a decently fun watch. It’s not a movie I’ve ever felt the need to see again, and it’s one that, the farther I get from it, the less I find to enjoy. On the whole, it ultimately feels like a bunch of irritating bros laughing and chugging beer. That’s fine, but there’s nothing more to it than that. But The Secret Service made a butt-ton of money, so writer/director Matthew Vaughn and company are back with a sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. And the word that repeatedly comes to mind is overkill.

His latest, the Coen Brothers-scripted Suburbicon is one we’ve been keeping an eye on. The first trailer just dropped and it’s pretty much what you expect, and I mean that in a good way. Check it out.

'Seventh Son' Movie Review: Fantasy With Very Little Imagination


Seventh Son is like watching a DragonForce song come to life. Seriously, there are dragons, witches, mystics, monsters, and riding into battle; this is an adventure metal band’s wet dream. At times this is an absurd amount of fun; at others, not so much at all. The biggest problem is, for a big fantasy movie, there is very little imagination to be found.
