Movie Review: The Batman

February 28, 2022 17:00 - 49 minutes - 22.1 MB

The Batman feels like WB making the strategic and smart decision to go back to what has worked for their live action Batman movies. This means a more grounded Batman with less of the super hero elements but a solid story that will get both critic and audience praise. For better or worse, this film feels like the natural progression from Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Matt Reeves took a lot of the elements and themes from Nolan's trilogy and added them to a neo-noir detective story that o...

From Season 1 Episodes 1 to 4

February 28, 2022 11:30 - 26 minutes - 11.9 MB

Showtime's Yellowjackets, an early 2022 break out, (re)set the bar for a dynamic genre-blended series. Now, EPIX's hopes to pick up the baton with its new slow-burning horror series From. Just in time, because thanks to shows like The Boys, and The Expanse, people are rediscovering the joys of not binge watching. There's something about being able to let an show sit with you, mess with your head for an entire week. And From definitely intends to mess with your head. From turns a rundown smal...

Snowpiercer Season 3 Episodes 1 to 4

February 20, 2022 20:44 - 59 minutes - 26.6 MB

I don't know if Snowpiercer is a good show. I don't. There are things this show does that are annoying and feel like poor writing. However, after the last 2 years of living with COVID and seeing just how dumb people are in real life, the problem with Snowpiercer might be it's hitting too close to home. Either way, it's Season 3 and we're here for the mess.  It seems like every season we start off saying the same thing: Andre Layton is stupid and should not be in charge. And the first 4 episod...

Movie Review: I Want You Back

February 10, 2022 17:00 - 29 minutes - 13.2 MB

It's that time of year again. Yup, a bunch of RomComs that most people won't see get dumped around Valentine's Day. With that in mind, I Want You Back is much more serviceable than the typical paint-by-numbers comedy we see this time of year. It's got Charlie Day and Jenny Slate in it and that enough to at least generate some interest. Day and Slate are the real attraction here. They work well together and have some really funny moments. The opening of this movie showcases both of their chara...

Movie Review: The Tragedy of Macbeth

January 27, 2022 13:57 - 1 hour - 35.8 MB

There are two types of people in the world. Those who love Shakespeare and consuming it in the vast array of  . And then there are those of us that can't stand Shakespeare and are still annoyed by the fact that at some point growing up we were forced against our will to both read and reenact some play or monologue from Shakespeare. There is no in between. Either you love it or you hate it.  Objectively, The Tragedy of Macbeth is probably the best adaptation of Macbeth on the big screen. The p...

Sundance Review: 892

January 21, 2022 08:30 - 1 hour - 44.4 MB

Director: Abi Damaris Corbin Screenwriters: Abi Damaris Corbin and Kwame Kwei-Armah Starring: John Boyega, Michael Kenneth Williams, Nicole Beharie, and Selenis Leyva Cinematographer: Doug Emmett Sundance Synopsis: Living in a cheap motel in Atlanta and separated from his wife and child, former U.S. Marine veteran Brian Easley is desperate. Driven to the brink by forces beyond his control, the soft-spoken, kind man decides to rob a bank and hold hostages with a bomb. As police, media, and fam...

Movie Review: The 355

January 07, 2022 11:45 - 24 minutes - 11.1 MB

To call The 355 disappointing would imply that there were any expectations for it to begin with. Sure, it has all the pieces to be a good film. The cast is really solid. It's a spy film and who doesn't like that? So where does it go wrong? With Simon Kinberg. While this is only Kinberg's second go as a Director (doesn't give much comfort considering his first was X-Men: Dark Phoenix), he has a long (and disappointing) history as a writer. To be honest, he's just not good at this. The fact tha...

Movie Review: Nightmare Alley

December 20, 2021 04:12 - 30 minutes - 13.6 MB

Nightmare Alley is not what you might expect from your typical Guillermo del Toro film.  If you told me that a Guillermo del Toro film used a carnival for a setting but didn't lean heavily into the abnormal or feature a unique creature design, I'd tell you that you were lying. I'd also question if the film was even worth watching. Nightmare Alley might not feel like the typical Guillermo del Toro film. Despite the title, this isn't a horror or paranormal film. Rather, it's a crime noir that t...

Spider-Man No Way Home

December 17, 2021 02:35 - 42 minutes - 19.1 MB

Come on. You already know you're going to see this film. There's no point in wasting time writing a long ass review for something that you are going to see. We could say this movie was trash (it's not) and you would still go to see it. It's going to be the biggest movie to come out since COVID and for good reason. Sony's best decision ever was letting Marvel Studios hold the reins and take control. The result is not only the best live-action Spider-Man trilogy but the best trilogy in the MCU....

Movie Review: Saint Maud

December 16, 2021 11:10 - 34 minutes - 15.5 MB

Kriss, Ro and yes, even Brandon get together to discuss the A24 film, Saint Maud. This film is listed as a horror film but it's really more of a drama/thriller. It does have some body horror in it but it's really more about how the lead character has become completely devoted to her faith to the point of being delusional.  One of the best things this film does is that it doesn't overstay it's welcome. This film gets in then gets out and doesn't try to do too much. It has a simple story to tel...

Movie Review: Ghostbusters Afterlife

November 19, 2021 02:14 - 28 minutes - 12.8 MB

Ghostbusters Afterlife is a pleasant surprise. This is a film that had to balance the really difficult task for a film with a cult following of feeding into the nostalgia of long time fans while also bridging the gap to a new generation. While it's not perfect, Ghostbusters Afterlife does a good job of maintaining that balance. There's enough hat tips and callbacks for Ghostbuster fans but the story is also capable of standing on its own.  Ghostbusters Afterlife works well as both an introduc...

Movie Review: Eternals

October 31, 2021 21:31 - 42 minutes - 19 MB

One of the things that has made the Marvel Cinematic Universe so successful is how accessible the movies are. Kevin Feige has managed to balance telling comic accurate stories that please existing fans and comic readers while also making the films still make sense to newcomers. It’s one of the most amazing feats of the franchise. And with that they’ve been able to get weirder and bigger and more out there each year. The problem is while Eternals definitely goes big, it also leaves the audienc...

TIFF 2021: Silent Night

October 04, 2021 15:50 - 3 Bytes

Since we’ve all lived through a deadly pandemic, there have been jokes made about how certain storylines and plot devices in movies just won’t work any more because we’ve seen the reality of how people behave. We’ve seen how people react to science, the calls from the government to stay home or get vaccinated. Unfortunately what we saw was people react in ways that prior to 2020 would be called too ridiculous and dumb if they saw play out in a movie. So how does that relate to the movie Silen...

TIFF 2021: Encounter

September 27, 2021 23:18 - 3 Bytes

Encounter is a film that has some interesting themes but doesn’t fully flesh them all out. It doesn’t have the message it thinks it does mainly because it doesn’t fully complete the thoughts it lays out. It’s not a bad film but also not a very good one either. Really it just sits there in  the middle giving a taste of what could be important themes on policing, mental health and the need for good social workers but not producing the full meal. The synopsis for Encounter states that the movie ...

TIFF 2021: Saloum

September 27, 2021 20:44 - 38 minutes - 17.2 MB

If Saloum is an example of what we can expect from new distributor Lacmé Studios and director Jean Luc Herbulot, then the future is very bright for what we might be seeing coming out of African cinema over the next few years. Clocking in at only 84 minutes, Saloum is able to tell a compelling story that covers several different themes while also being interesting and entertaining story. Usually when a film is trying to do so much and has such a dramatic turn, it loses what it’s trying to say ...

TIFF 2021: Out of Sync

September 20, 2021 22:37 - 18 minutes - 8.5 MB

Out of Sync tells a compelling story story about a woman that finds herself slowly falling out of sync with the world both mentally and physically. It’s a good story about how a person can feel their world closing down around them but not realize that those close to them love and support them if they would accept the help.  Marta Nieto does a great job playing the unnamed lead character as detached from those around her and standoffish. She plays a sound editor whose personal life is a mess (...

TIFF 2021: Hellbound

September 19, 2021 23:56 - 37 minutes - 16.6 MB

How would society react if people started getting predictions that they were set to die and be bound to Hell that came true? That’s the basis for Hellbound. And the first episode opens up showing just how serious it can be. Giant smoke “Hulks” show up and chase a man out of a coffee shop and then beat him to death in the middle of a busy street. Then they perform some kind of “ritual” that leaves only a smoking pile of ash behind. This intense scene happens before the credits even roll and do...

TIFF 2021: Dashcam

September 18, 2021 11:25 - 29 minutes - 13.1 MB

There’s been a lot of buzz around Rob Savage’s Dashcam and to be honest, none of it is deserved. Dashcam is a film that thinks it’s more shocking than it really is. This is one of those “found footage” type films that gives other films in that category a bad name. It’s frustrating because Savage’s Host has gotten great reviews. But Dashcam is a swing in the opposite direction. Found Footage/“Documentary style” fictional films can be good. Hell, they can be great. Most folks immediately jump t...

TIFF 2021: The Guilty

September 17, 2021 20:22 - 32 minutes - 14.7 MB

The Guilty is one of those films that feels like actually benefited from COVID restrictions. Any other time and this film would have gone too far into showing us car chases and big set pieces. Even worse, it would have turned this film into a cop propaganda film that happens so often when a police officer that is clearly unhinged is somehow made into a hero. Instead what we got was an intense thriller that plays on the concept of police jumping to conclusions and how that can lead to dangerou...

TIFF 2021: Petite Maman

September 13, 2021 21:48 - 3 Bytes

Kriss and Ro reviewed the film Petite Maman during the 2021 Toronto Film Festival. Writer/director Céline Sciamma returns to the festival circuit with a story about pain, grief, love, and the unique bonds between mothers and daughters.  Follow more of our Toronto Film Festival 2021 Reviews and Coverage on our Press Page Page: https://press.mtrnetwork.net Follow us on Social Media: MTRNetwork MTRNetwork @InsanityReport @TheMTRNetwork

Movie Review: Candyman

August 26, 2021 11:30 - 49 minutes - 22.1 MB

Candyman suffers from an inconsistent script, wrapped in a beautifully shot film with a great cast that is going to leave audiences either absolutely loving it or feeling like it didn’t live up to expectations. On the surface, everything is there to make this a film that should be universally loved. Director Nia DaCosta embraces the lore of Candyman and attempts to wrap it in an updated and modern tale. There’s been some talk that (wrongly) associates Candyman with “black trauma porn” and tha...

Movie Review: The Night House

August 20, 2021 13:39 - 39 minutes - 17.3 MB

The Night House is what happens when David Bruckner the director of V/H/S segment "Amateur Night" and Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski the writers of the film it ultimately became, SiREN  realize they should absolutely make a movie together. The result was a horror film that brought jump scares that were actually earned. Couple that with a story that was compelling, a great use of sound and a lead in Rebecca Hall who balances a character that is part crazy and being haunted into being crazier ...

Fantasia Film Festival 2021: Brain Freeze

August 20, 2021 01:10 - 22 minutes - 10.1 MB

Long time zombie fans will tell you that using zombie outbreaks as a jumping off point for socio-political commentary is a genre staple. At least the one willing to admit George A Romero never made a single zombie film in a vacuum will. Although recent zombiefare tends to be less overt, blending comedy into an apocalyptic happenings is definitely a trend on the rise...again. Brain Freeze, 25th Fantasia Fest's opening night film, offered audiences just such a broad satire.  Set in Quebec, Brai...

Fantasia Film Festival 2021: Raging Fire

August 14, 2021 01:37 - 43 minutes - 19.5 MB

If you're familiar with Hong Kong action films you're no stranger to the work of Benny Chan. Chan's catalogue is nothing short of iconic; in large part due to the unbelievably high risk action. Think Jackie Chan's Who Am I?, Fist of Fury (1995), and A New Police Story. Raging Fire, the director's final project before losing his battle with cancer, offers the kind of action and violence with a few notable action sequence hat-tips mixed in to cement its place in the genre. Raging Fire is absolu...

Bentonville Film Festival 2021: Catch The Fair One

August 11, 2021 10:47 - 22 minutes - 10.3 MB

Catch the Fair One accomplishes the mission of being able to tackle a subject that pops up in thrillers all the time yet does it without watering down the reality. Hollywood likes to put things in nice little bows in order for audiences to digest the subject in a more pleasant way and the result is a diluted understanding of the problem. Catch the Fair One doesn’t care to make the audience feel better about what they are seeing and it’s a better film because of that. Credit should be given to...

Bentonville Film Festival 2021: 7 Days

August 11, 2021 10:34 - 20 minutes - 9.48 MB

If we’re going to get a flood of films about quarantining during COVID, then let’s all hope they’re done like 7 Days. Imagine going on the worst first date ever. Now imagine that first date was set up by your parents as a part of the process of an arranged marriage. Now imagine after that worst date ever if you ended up having to quarantine together because Covid exploded and caused cancelled flights and stay-at-home-orders. That’s what happens with Ravi and Rita in 7 Days and it’s a hilariou...

Movie Review: The Suicide Squad

August 10, 2021 10:39 - 43 minutes - 19.7 MB

Wacky. Ridiculous. Over-the-Top. Wonderful. That's the way to sum of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Honestly, it’s nice to have some competency back for a DC film. From top to bottom this film is great and it really shouldn’t have been. Just from the announcement, it felt like a weird “Is it a reboot or a sequel” type deal since some of the characters from the first panned movie were popping up in this one. This film makes it clear that it’s a soft reboot and that they’re trying to start off...

Bentonville Film Festival 2021: Beans

August 08, 2021 12:40 - 26 minutes - 11.9 MB

Beans is a semi-autobiographical tale from director Tracey Deer that centers on her experience as a 12 year old Mohawk girl during the 78-day Oka Crisis standoff ini 1990. This is the kind of film that will illicit a lot of emotion. First off, the real-life events this film covers are based on a dispute over the expansion of a golf course into sacred indigenous lands. It’s infuriating to know that people have to fight for their culture to be respected and that others think so little of it tha...

Bentonville Film Festival 2021: Mogul Mowgli

August 07, 2021 17:12 - 31 minutes - 13.9 MB

Mogul Mowgli is a great film that serves as an introspection into what it means to be successful and the costs with setting the definition of success based on one’s own insecurities. Riz Ahmed plays a Pakistani rapper named Zed, whose dreams are crushed when he’s diagnosed with a degenerative autoimmune disease  . This isn’t the first time Ahmed has played a musician who is left to contemplate his future because his body has betrayed him. In the Sound of Metal, he plays a drummer who loses hi...

Movie Review: Gunpowder Milkshake

August 04, 2021 14:04 - 31 minutes - 14.3 MB

Gunpowder Milkshake is one of those films that has all the elements to be really good but fails to live up to the potential and the cast. It’s one of the cardinal sins of a film with a great cast and an interesting concept. Seriously, with a cast of women like Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Angela Bassett and Michelle Yeoh, Gunpowder Milkshake didn’t have to try hard to get our attention. The mistake comes from where the attention is put in this film and not leaning on why the audie...

Movie Review: Jungle Cruise

July 30, 2021 10:19 - 35 minutes - 15.9 MB

It's hard to imagine anyone coming into Disney's Jungle Cruise movie full of high expectations and excitement. First off, this is a movie based off a Disney theme park ride that needed a makeover for racist imagery. I mean who thought a theme park ride would make for a good movie? Well it turns out that while this film might not too memorable, it's actually pretty entertaining. Again, the bar coming in was super low, but even still, Jungle Cruise has several things that make it work. First, D...

Movie Review: Black Widow

July 04, 2021 01:38 - 1 hour - 27.2 MB

And we're back. Black Widow's release was delayed due to the pandemic and since then there were questions about when Marvel Studios would drop the film and why they delayed. There was even doubt that maybe it wouldn't be good. Maybe Marvel was finally loosing it's step. Maybe the Disney+ series were where they were really hitting their stride and where they should focus. Well let's answer the second part first: Yes Black Widow is good. Of course it is. It's a Marvel Studios film. This is a st...

Movie Review: Luca

June 21, 2021 10:38 - 25 minutes - 11.4 MB

Overall, Luca is a fine film. It has mostly what one would expect from a Pixar film. The animation looks as sharp as ever. There's a message that's aimed at kids trying to navigate the world in front of them. And there is the classic Pixar humor. But even with all that, Luca just feels boring and predictable.  Luca is a film that feels like it's on cruise control for 90 minutes. It does what it's supposed to do but at the same time leaves a lot of gaps that should have been filled in the stor...

Cruella

May 28, 2021 11:45 - 22.6 MB

After the success of the first Maleficent, centering another iconic Disney character in a live-action film was inevitable. Having that character be Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians? Well, that's a move certain to have a some people asking why. But it's not really that complicated. There's plenty of opportunity for mayhem (and monetizing) telling a villain's origin story. The twist? Just don't watch Cruella expecting a redemption arc....or a story about dogs.  Cruella blends aesthetics toget...

Movie Review: Wrath of Man

May 07, 2021 09:58 - 29 minutes - 13.3 MB

The team-up of Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham for Wrath of Man comes together as a very solid film combination of revenge mixed with heist. Is the film perfect? No. But there's a solid enough story with intense, bloody action that it makes a pretty entertaining pre-summer film. The film follows the mysterious H (Statham) who joins an armored cash truck company in order to find the thieves who ended up killing his son as part of a prior robbery. H uses his own seedy background and connections t...

Without Remorse

April 30, 2021 10:02 - 42 minutes - 19.4 MB

If Without Remorse's purpose is establishing Michael B Jordan as the covert operator the spy genre's desperately missing then this action-packed thrill ride rolls out one hell of an origin story. Given director Stefano Sollima's (Gomorrah, ZeroZeroZero) kinetic shooting-style that leaves little room for stunt doubles and cutaway scenes, Without Remorse is an introduction to edgy John Kelly it's not too hard to get behind.  If you're a fan of Tom Clancy novels (or the Rainbow Six games) put ev...

TV Review: Snowpiercer Season 2 Episodes 9 & 10 Review:

April 09, 2021 19:06 - 44 minutes - 20 MB

Everyone out there has something that is widely accepted as bad and not good that they like. You know that show or movie you can't defend as being "good" but nonetheless you can't help but watch it. In a way. Snowpiercer is what we (Kriss & Ro) consider their "trashy TV". Is it good? Probably not. But it's also very very entertaining and well, who is going to turn away from the (no pun intended) train wreck.  To be fair, Snowpiercer isn't really a bad show by any stretch of the imagination. H...

Movie Review: NOBODY

March 25, 2021 01:25 - 40 minutes - 18.2 MB

The lead character of NOBODY, Hutch Mansell, completes the trifecta of "Dudes You Should Have Just Left Alone". He joins the likes of John Wick and Robert McCall. You know, the guy who was a secret assassin/government BlackOps/Cleaner that is trying to retire and settle into a "normal" life but people just have to fuck with them. And it all goes horrible wrong (for the dumbasses that mess with them). This is a sub-genre of the Impossible White Man genre of films that also is one of the hardes...

TV Review: Snowpiercer S2 Episode 4 to Episode 8 Review

March 18, 2021 10:43 - 53 minutes - 24 MB

Every time we review an episode in season 2 of Snowpiercer, we end up saying the same thing: Layton is out of his depth here. And episodes 4 through 8 really hammer that home. Mr. Wilford executes his long game and literally takes Snowpiercer away  from Layton so easily. Now it would  be easy to get frustrated with this show for how Layton is being portrayed here but we actually like it. It's more realistic. When you look at the timeline of how things have transpired, we're looking at a few m...

Coming 2 America Review

March 05, 2021 13:00 - 35.4 MB

"Coming 2 America" is a reset but not a redo  Thirty years later and we've returned to Zamunda just in time for Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and Princess Lisa's (Shari Headly) anniversary and the King Jaffe (James Earl Jones) to tell his son - from his sick bed - that he has  a son who must be found. Not because it's terrible that this son's grown up outside the family, but because the country's antiquated laws demand a male heir to secure the throne. Never mind the fact Akeem and Lisa have th...

Test Pattern Review

March 04, 2021 16:45 - 58 minutes - 26.1 MB

Shatara Michelle Ford’s directorial feature debut “Test Pattern” is a definite conversation starter, potentially divisive ones. This 82 minute drama centers Renesah (Brittany S. Hall) in the aftermath of a night out with her friend Amber (Gail Bean) that ended with her waking up in the bed of a man not her live-in boyfriend Evan (Will Brill).  The audience's perception of Renesha and Evan's relationship through witnessing a meet-cute in a bar that morphs into an awkward encounter at a grocery...

Movie Review: Raya and the Last Dragon

March 03, 2021 11:19 - 32 minutes - 14.3 MB

Raya and the Last Dragon is another hit for Disney. There are a lot of things to like about this film but the first thing that will catch everyone's eye will obviously be the visuals. Disney really isn't playing fair on the animation side when it comes to piecing together very real-like animations. For their first Southeast Asian animated feature, Disney went super vibrant with the colors and a world that really pulls you in from the beginning. The character animations are smooth and very lif...

TV Review: Snowpiercer Season 2 Episodes 2 to 4

February 17, 2021 11:51 - 1 hour - 27.8 MB

Ro & Kriss are back to review and discuss the last three episodes of season 2 of Snowpiercer. As usual, Layton is showing how out of his depth he is when it comes to being in charge of Snowpiercer. Part of that could be that there really hasn't been any time for Layton or the people of Snowpiercer to catch their breath since the war to take the train. But it's also because Layton is hard headed and doesn't want to listen to anyone, particularly women. Melanie tried to help him and tell him th...

Movie Review: Judas and the Black Messiah

February 02, 2021 12:08 - 49 minutes - 22.4 MB

Judas and the Black Messiah will (or at least should) make you angry. Not because of the quality of the film or the acting in it. No, it's beautifully shot and the acting is top notch which should catapult this to the top of the runnings for the Oscars. No, it will make you angry because it does a fantastic job of exposing just how diabolical the FBI was in trying to stop and murder any rising Black revolutionary. For those that might think that this film's depiction of the the FBI and agent ...

Movie Review: The Little Things

January 29, 2021 12:00 - 40 minutes - 18.6 MB

There is a good movie somewhere in The Little Things, unfortunately it's just not included the 127 minute runtime of the film. Which is a shame considering the talent put together for this film. How does one waste Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, Jared Leto, Michael Hyatt and so many other talented actors? To be honest, I would have to say it actually takes talent to be that wasteful.  The Little Things feels like director/writer John Lee Hancock got the Cliff Notes of the Se7en script, binged ...

TV Review: TNT’s Snowpiercer Season 2 Premiere Review

January 26, 2021 11:41 - 28 minutes - 12.9 MB

Looks like that "12% of a plan" that Layton had last season is turning out to be even more poorly thought out than we expected. Sure, he got the revolution he wanted and took back control of the train. But with Mr. Wilford reappearing and latching his "Big Alice" train onto Snowpiercer, Layton is starting to realize how poorly thought out all this was.  Honestly, gotta give Layton credit, not many people could be as incompetent as Layton this quickly with this many consequences. It's almost a...

TV Show Review: Doctor Who New Year's Episode Review

January 25, 2021 01:01 - 31.4 MB

The Doctor, Parrish and Joseph are coming in hot on Chibnall's absolute fumble of the bag with the New Year's episode.  Even Keenan Ivory Wayans would agree this is too much messaging for him.  We did not need our Trump stand in.  We needed more close out for departing companions and an intro to the new dynamic with Yaz and the Doctor.  Instead we got a repeat of what we are currently living with in modern times-which we don't need an allegory for because we are living it both here and in the...

Cobra Kai Season 3 - Movie Trailer Reviews

January 09, 2021 19:06 - 1 hour - 32.1 MB

Full disclosure: When Phenom and I sat down to record this review we waxed poetic about how unrealistic it is to have karate gangs roving the streets of the Valley but after the events of January 6th, that doesn't seem like such an unlikely prospect.  Season 3 of Cobra Kai marks the show's official move from YouTube to Netflix and while the show never struggles to deliver on the fun and the laughs, the pacing of this season leaves a lot to be desired. There's a lot for the fans who love the n...

Movie Review: Soul

December 25, 2020 11:30 - 34 minutes - 15.5 MB

Over the past decade, Pixar's excelled at building deep existential dilemmas into touching animated feature films. Director Pete Docter (Inside Out, Up), in particular. Docter's known for his skill in blending weighty themes into emotionally charged, yet charmingly joyful, treks through the human psyche. So, it only makes sense that Pixar paired him with Kemp Powers (One Night in Miami) as co-director and co-writer on his passion project Soul.  You'll be pleased to discover that Soul leans in...
