“Let Him Go” is like if Liz Cheney made a movie. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane act the hell out of this preposterous thriller that somehow manages to be nail bitingly exciting. They play good conservative Americans, the kind that own guns but use them responsibly to do things like shoot sick horses, and are really good at baking pies. Their son dies tragically and … Continue reading Let Him Go Movie Review
This is pretty much what you’d expect given the stars and the Netflix tag. I am a bit disappointed that this film took the lamest, most cliched route to the ending, but it’s a fairly fun and breezy film for the most part. Reynolds and Johnson are basically playing themselves as usual, which works pretty well as their banter keeps things humming along. There are … Continue reading Red Notice (2021) Movie Review
First up; Han So Hee is an amazing actress and she show her full range in the first episode which is one of the many reason that episode is so great. Most of the cast is good and the initial story, albeit cliche and overused, is good enough to suck you in. Music excellent, scenes and production value pretty good for TV. Fight scenes are … Continue reading My Name(2021) Korean Web Series

With a rural milieu that Siva is more comfortable with, the first half is … Continue reading ANNATHE – MOVIE REVIEW
Written and directed by T.J. Gnanavel and produced by 2D Entertainment. JAI BHIM gets an OTT release TJG had earlier written and directed KOOTATHIL ORUVAN. Based on a true incident that happened in 1993 of police sadism, the film begins without wasting time in establishing its contours. The deferential beginning is endearing as the movie slowly loosens its cannons and then on its bedlam. Not … Continue reading JAI BHIM – MOVIE REVIEW (AMAZON PRIME)
I’ll be honest I was not a fan of Army of the Dead at all. So I had absolutely no expectations watching this and I have to say it is much better than I thought it would be. They also picked one of the better characters to do a prequel on also. It has some problems don’t get me wrong. I thought it was quite … Continue reading Army of Thieves(2021) Movie Review
