Red One

 

Red One is a film that takes itself too seriously. It is a bore to sit through, feels generic and the cast looks like they are cashing a paycheck....and that was an insane paycheck due to the cost of this film. If you want a fun family action Christmas film then check out Christmas Chronicles instead. 

Street Trash

 

The original Street Trash is trash....and i mean that in the best way. The new Street Trash is trash but is that a good thing?  It is enjoyable but not very good, it knows what it is and for that reason it is bullet proof but it still feels like many post Grindhouse films.There is some cool effects and badass moments but overall it felt like a chore. 

Nutcrackers

 

Nutcrackers, the latest from David Gordon Green, is a bit of a throwback for him being comedy and all.....as well as a throwback for Ben Stiller. Sadly this is no Pineapple Express nor a Zoolander and it is every bit the mess that everyone assumes the Halloween movies are. 

The Unbreakable Bunch

 

I LOVE wrestling, i LOVE horror. Having wrestlers vs aliens is a dumb idea but one that could and should be fun. Instead we get a film that feels like a doc.....having wrestlers play....wrestlers and discussing life on the road....that is cool.....only IF it was a shoot. The aliens...."aliens" pop up here and there and carry things, that's about it. Then they have their blow off....and it was a blow off alright. This feels under Wild Eye, under Full Moon, under most screeners. The Unwatchable Bunch. 

Hellboy: The Crooked Man

 

When Neil Marshall's Hellboy came out 5 years ago, people freaked. The Del Toro films aren't untouchable by any means, nothing is. While the Del Toro flicks are a blast, Marshall's was not. Now we have another Hellboy....and this one went so under the radar that no one seemed to care. The trailer looked so generic and like a fan film that i kept forgetting about it. Upon seeing it, it feels like one and it doesn't know when to end. The acting is wooden, the action is choppy, the effects are non existent, this is hell....boy.
