    The Croods: A New Age | Review

    by Andrew Parker November 24, 2020
    by Andrew Parker November 24, 2020

    An eye catching and frequently amusing bit of prehistoric fun for the whole family, The Croods: A New Age, might not be a necessary animated sequel, but at least it’s a decent one.

    Review: Pokémon Detective Pikachu

    by Andrew Parker May 9, 2019
    by Andrew Parker May 9, 2019

    Although it never quite figures out exactly what audiences it’s trying to cater towards, Pokémon Detective Pikachu is a reasonably entertaining bit of fun for fans of the beloved Nintendo property, both young and old.

    Review: Deadpool 2

    by Andrew Parker May 16, 2018
    by Andrew Parker May 16, 2018

    Boasting a duller, nastier wit than its predecessor and a newfound brush with sincerity, the adult oriented super-anti-hero sequel Deadpool 2 lacks the anarchic glee and spontaneity of its blockbuster predecessor, but it still has a lot to enjoy.

    Director Patrick Hughes talks about ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’

    by Andrew Parker August 18, 2017
    by Andrew Parker August 18, 2017

    Australian filmmaker Patrick Hughes knows how to film a large scale action sequence, but he also loves to have a good laugh while doing it. The director of the underrated suspense thriller Red Hill and the most recent entry into The Expendables franchise finds himself once again tackling chaotic shootouts and multi-vehicle chases with his latest effort The Hitman’s Bodyguard (in cinemas everywhere this weekend), a mismatched buddy flick starring two of the biggest names in comedy and action: Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson.

    Review: ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard,’ starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson

    by Andrew Parker August 16, 2017
    by Andrew Parker August 16, 2017

    A passably entertaining bit of late summer fluff, the action comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard is exactly what you probably think it’s going to be going in: two charismatic actors riffing on each other while dodging bullets, fists, and bombs. A comedy firmly steeped in the traditions set forth by Midnight Run and Lethal Weapon, The Hitman’s Bodyguard doesn’t earn too many points for originality or style, but it achieves every modest goal it sets out to make. If you’re in the mood for an action comedy, this is an action comedy that won’t wow you, but it won’t let you down, either.

    Blu-ray Review: ‘R.I.P.D.’ starring Jeff Bridges & Ryan Reynolds

    by W. Andrew Powell October 29, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell October 29, 2013

    Peter M. Lenkov’s Rest In Peace Department oozes with really fantastic ideas, and that’s probably why Universal Pictures wanted to make it into a blockbuster franchise. The problem with the adaptation is that is misfires at almost every plot turn, and never seems to decide if it’s going to be dark, funny, or just plain weird. That’s also why it’s very unlikely we’ll see a sequel to R.I.P.D.

    Review: ‘R.I.P.D.’ starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds

    by W. Andrew Powell June 28, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell June 28, 2013

    R.I.P.D. exists at the point where Men in Black meets The Frighteners, but leaning heavily towards the MIB side of things. Somewhere in that mix, there is probably a winning combination, but R.I.P.D. only gets it about half right, with a storyline that is more than likely to bomb until it rises again in a few months on Blu-ray.
