Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Review - The MCU just got one of the best R-rated heroes in their lineup. They also got the bonus of having Logan in the mix. Deadpool & Wolverine brings the laughs, the action, the heart and the crazy. It does, however, lack a cohesive story. While that might not matter to most, it certainly would have helped if it was there. Here's my spoiler-free review!

Longlegs Spoiler Breakdown - Longlegs is a new film that is pretending to be something produced by A24. It's got amazing cinematography and slick production value but that's about it. The story is a mess with so much thrown at the wall in the final act. The characters are either dull, uninteresting robots or absolutely unhinged in the silliest way (Nicholas Cage). Longlegs had potential but poor execution. I explain why in the video.

Twisters Movie Explained - Here is my spoiler review and breakdown of Twisters. A film that is perfectly watchable and entertaining while also feeling incredibly familiar and hollow. It's a copy of Twister with the same character traits, plot points and even the RAM truck. I break down Twisters while walking the corn field, as one does.

Disney doesn't care about you or your magical experience anymore. They only care about getting your money. That has become more clear than ever before. Just look at their constant remakes and sequels in the film space or the lackluster theme park experiences. New rides take forever to come out and rarely fit the theme of the park. The prices have gotten out of control and new systems like Fast Pass are terrible. Meanwhile, Universal Studios continues to impress with Epic Universe and constant park updates. I don't see Disney going back to what made them great but maybe there is still hope to be found.

Twisters Movie Review - Twister was a classic, blockbuster flick with big special effects and fun characters. Twisters looks to recapture that magic by basically making the same movie again. Character arcs, motivations, pacing and premise are lifted directly from the original. Some updates and modern tech keep it from being a total remake but it's also not necessarily a bad thing. Twisters is a perfectly watchable, engaging film with strong leads and tight direction. Not a bad night out at the movies!

Star Wars: The Acolyte Episode 8 Breakdown - I explain the final episode of the Acolyte in painstaking detail. Reliving the nightmare from beginning to end. The Acolyte has been a pretty pathetic watch with occasional moments of enjoyability. Mainly from some of the lightsaber duels. The story and overall production is severely lacking the Star Wars charm. Join me as we finish The Acolyte, once and for all!

Longlegs Movie Review - After watching Longlegs with a few buddies, I can confidently say this movie sucked. Well, it sucked for us. That doesn't mean this A24 wannabe won't work for others. Particularly those who enjoy a very slow, tedious film with beautiful cinematography. That only takes a film so far. Big fans of the genre will probably love this but regular moviegoers will not be impressed.

Star Wars: The Acolyte Episode 7 'The Truth' Explained! I break down episode 7 of The Acolyte. Explaining all the dumb crap that happened 16 years earlier.

Maxxxine Movie Review - The Ti West trilogy comes to a close but does it stick the landing? Here is my spoiler-free review of Maxxxine. The final, slasher film in the Ti West X Trilogy.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F Movie Review - Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills in a Netflix movie. Nostalgia through legacy franchises is starting to get old.

Kill Movie Review - A new Indian film called Kill just hit theaters so I wanted to check it out. The trailers showcased a very violent, brutal action flick which sounds right up my ally. Almost the entirety of Kill takes place on a train for 2 hours. I had some problems with the movie but overall, the issues are saved by the wild action scenes. Not too bad!

Despicable Me 4 Movie Review - Illumination has figured out the recipe for keeping kid's attention. Despicable Me 4 jumps all over the place at such a frantic pace, it's hard to remember what's even going on at times. Still, for all the flaws, Despicable Me 4 has Minions and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

The Acolyte Episode 6 Explained - We are back for another week of The Crapolyte. A show that continues to impress with it's almost impossibly boring flow. Again we have an episode that sputters by with the two leading ladies working with the other side. Outside of a shirtless Sith swim, nothing exciting happens. On to the next episode of The Acolyte!

Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review - Kalki 2898 AD is a new epic sci-fi Indian film. It takes some clear inspiration from Star Wars and Mad Max while infusing its own culture and lore into the story. This has a big scale and a great cast of characters. I give you my spoiler-free thoughts on the film and why it might be worth checking out!

Star Wars: The Acolyte Episode 5 Explained! I break down all the big moments from episode 5 of The Acolyte. There are plenty of spoilers here, with major reveals taking place. This was easily the most entertaining episode of The Acolyte so far but I still felt absolutely nothing while watching. At least some of the light saber fights were cool.

Under Pairs Movie Review - I thought maybe we could have a cool, smart Shark movie again. If not that, perhaps another fun, campy film like Deep Blue Sea. Unfortunately, Netflix gave us neither. Instead, Under Paris is just a boring, poorly written film with a lot of useless scenes and very little shark attack action. I found this film to be a chore to get through. Under Paris has a Jaws concept without the execution. It's a waste of time.

Code ADAM15 gets you 15% off at checkout The Bikeriders Movie Review - The Bikeriders is not the movie it presents itself in the trailers. It really should be called "The Bikeriders Wife" because this story is told through the eyes of one of the female wives in the gang. I think approaching the movie this way was a mistake. It doesn't actually lead to a more interesting story. Instead, it hinders the more interesting aspects, leaving the movie a stale and lifeless. Not unwatchable but certainly a miss.

The Acolyte Episode 4 Review & Breakdown - I am covering the new Star Wars series, The Acolytle, each and every week. Today I go over episode 4. A boring chore to sit through. Almost nothing happens until the final moments and even then it's left to next week.

In this video, I'll be breaking down episode 2 of The Acolyte. A show the continues to spiral further and further into the toilet. In this second episode, The Jedi have the assassin cornered but decide not to call for backup. They got this... except THEY DON'T!

I re-watched episode 1 of Star Wars: The Alcolyte and give you a full breakdown of the episode. The show starts promising but soon delves into the dumb. Not even Trinity can save this show. I will be covering the entire first season of The Alcolyte so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode!

Inside Out 2 Movie Review - I was pretty worried about Inside Out 2. Pixar and Disney have had a bit of a rough patch but I'm happy to report that Inside Out 2 is absolutely wonderful. Inside Out 2 is a worthy followup to a brilliant first movie. A family film film that pulls at the heartstrings and keeps the creativity flowing. Absolutely recommend this for all ages!

Bad Boys: Ride or Die is out and making solid money this summer. It appears that the Will Smith slap from a couple years back is being forgiven by mainstream audiences. I give my thoughts on boycotting movies, books, games, etc. and why I think it's the best approach for myself. Let me know your thoughts!

The Acolyte Episode 3 is absolutely terrible. It's one of the worst episodes of Star Wars since The Holiday Special. I don't hold back on my hate for this terribly written, terribly executed episode of The Acolyte.

Perhaps it's just an audience that has grown up now and doesn't care about the childish nature of the franchise? Maybe it's because all of these Disney+ shows have tarnished the Star Wars brand? Perhaps it's the large focus on representation and less so on story? Could easily be all of the above. I give my thoughts on Star Wars today and would love to hear from you!

The Watchers Movie Review - The Watchers is a new film by Ishana Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night Shyamalan. You can definitely see the resemblance in the film style. Thankfully, she takes the good qualities and not the bad ones. This is a well-made film that's maybe a bit too light on the scares and thrills. Instead, The Watchers focuses on the mystery and not much else. Not a bad watch but there was something better here.
