    Review: Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween

    by Andrew Parker October 11, 2018
    by Andrew Parker October 11, 2018

    More of the same only considerably less, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween does away with most of the ingenuity and fun of its predecessor in favour of a limp rehash of the first movie’s high spots that are delivered with half the ingenuity and half the energy.

    Review: The House with a Clock in Its Walls

    by Andrew Parker September 20, 2018
    by Andrew Parker September 20, 2018

    As familiar and inviting as a mug of hot chocolate and a comfortable sweater, the seasonally appropriate young adult fantasy The House with a Clock in Its Walls gets the Halloween movie cycle off to an earnest, whimsical, and entertaining start.

    Review: ‘The Polka King’

    by Andrew Parker January 12, 2018
    by Andrew Parker January 12, 2018

    The darkly comedic biopic The Polka King is a well made example of a “straight to Netflix” film. This “stranger than fiction” look at a former oom-pah-pah baron and Grammy nominee who perpetrated massive amounts of fraud in the 1990s is lean, fast paced, almost completely devoid of filler, and likely works better at home than it would in the confines of a theatre. Netflix is the perfect place for a film like The Polka King, and that’s not in any way a knock against the talent and effort that went into making it.

    Review: ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’

    by Andrew Parker December 19, 2017
    by Andrew Parker December 19, 2017

    Much like the original film from 1995, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a likable enough, but instantly forgettable bit of blockbuster entertainment that’s fun in the moment and leaves no lasting impact other than good will towards a talented cast.
