“Avatar: The Last Airbender” Review

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Created by Albert Kim. With Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Dallas Liu. A young boy known as the Avatar must master the four elemental powers to save the world, and fight against an enemy bent on stopping him. Jamming 20 episodes worth of animated content into 8 episodes of live action television is a daunting task, but one that was successfully achieved with this latest adaptation of the The Last Airbender. The costumes are perfect, the story is tight, and the air bisons fly in a fantastic and believable fashion. The casting for this is so...

“World’s Greatest Dad” Review

World’s Greatest Dad: Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. With Robin Williams, Daryl Sabara, Morgan Murphy, Naomi Glick. When his son’s body is found in a humiliating accident, a lonely high school teacher inadvertently attracts an overwhelming amount of community and media attention after covering up the truth with a phony suicide note. I’m still on my quest to watch all of Robin’s films and this one is a bit of a weird pickle with lots of truly hateful language from a unloving son, unfatherly behavior from an unloving father, and people all around them that are out for themselves, with the...

“Nimona” Review

Nimona: Directed by Nick Bruno, Troy Quane. With Chloë Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, Eugene Lee Yang, Frances Conroy. When a knight in a futuristic medieval world is framed for a crime he didn’t commit, the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona — a mischievous teen who happens to be a shapeshifting creature he’s sworn to destroy. There’s talk that this was originally going to be a Disney release but that they allowed it be sold to Netflix to be released there. Idiot talking heads will have you believe this was because the main guy is...

“Dune: Part Two” Review

Dune: Part Two: Directed by Denis Villeneuve. With Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem. Paul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. About as good as the first one, though this time around there are no big revelations, other than a couple casting decisions that I wasn’t aware of. To be honest I’ve been avoiding the trailers and the articles about the flick, as I was already sold on the first movie and knew I was going to go to the second one, so no need to spoil myself...

“Dune” Review

Dune: Directed by Denis Villeneuve. With Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa. A noble family becomes embroiled in a war for control over the galaxy’s most valuable asset while its heir becomes troubled by visions of a dark future. Watched again in preparation for seeing the second one in the theaters. It’s pretty darn good, but a shame they only did half the story. Buy On Amazon!
