Our Betters is a charming little drama-comedy featuring a great performance from Constance Bennett, a woman ahead of her time and sadly died at the age of 60, though accumulated over 55 movies in her career.
Glass isn’t great and doesn’t exactly live up to the potential set forth by the twist ending of Split. That being said, there is some entertainment value and all in all was at the very least a satisfying film featuring a couple good performances, particularly McAvoy and Jackson.
The Manitou is a ridiculous and just dumb fantasy-horror movie that had some okay performances all things considered, but some laughably bad moments, enough probably making this on the good-bad range.
Between Worlds is yet another failed film from Nicolas Cage and this is perhaps one of this worst performances, which is saying something, though he gets no help from a poor script.
The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire is a middling, even confusing, giallo horror film that doesn’t have a whole lot going for it, outside perhaps the unique filming locations in Ireland.
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is a well done character study featuring yet another wonderful performance from the illustrious Sam Elliott.
Berlin, I Love You is hardly the worst interconnected ensemble dramas and at least one out of the ten vignettes was somewhat entertaining, one was peculiarly creepy and the other eight on the forgettable side.
With the Hellboy reboot coming out, Lionsgate tries one more time to capitalize on a franchise that didn’t do so well and also serving as an advert. In any case, I did enjoy both of these animated movies and really wish they had continued.
Hard Ticket to Hawaii is the definition of so bad, it’s good and whether Andy Sidaris was in on the joke, who knows, but this was a lot of fun to watch, but make no mistake, there were times it was brutal.
Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase is by no means a good movie but perfectly fine for a family film and star Sophia Lillis was pretty good in the role, hopefully she gets another shot in a sequel.
Bumblebee was a pleasant surprise with a genuine heart at its core, the relationship between a robot and a girl, each one finding the other at the right time. It’s what was missing from the last several of the Transformers movies.
