David Fincher’s The Killer is a Misfire

November 7, 2023November 7, 2023 Courtney Young6 Comments

"Stick to the plan. Anticipate, don't improvise. Trust no one. Yield no advantage. Forbid empathy," the Killer narrates. Unfortunately, the buildup of anticipation misses the target in this assassin thriller.

Dune (2021) is EPIC

October 27, 2021October 28, 2021 Courtney Young4 Comments

For a movie that is considered largely "unfilmable", Denis Villeneuve did it, and he did it epically well.

The Suicide Squad is a Blockbuster Misfire😥

August 16, 2021August 25, 2021 Courtney Young2 Comments

The Suicide Squad. What a joke. This charmless franchise redo is as unfunny as it is tedious to watch...not even Harley Quinn can save this hot mess. 😢

Zola Doesn’t Live Up to Twitter Thread

August 10, 2021August 16, 2021 Courtney Young1 Comment

When small, indie-focused distributor A24 attaches itself to a movie, my interest is always heightened. But, I may be here to tell you that this is the first misfire movie from the distributor leaving me wanting more than what I received. 😕

Arrival is Year’s Best Sci-Fi

November 23, 2016May 7, 2021 Courtney Young43 Comments

Arrival is the most cerebral experience of 2016, and the intimate nature of the film has everything to do with that.

The Magnificent Seven is a Great Remake

September 28, 2016May 12, 2021 Courtney Young11 Comments

It's been 56 years since Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen burst onto the screen introducing a generation to one of the greatest Westerns of all time. Now, director Antoine Funque (Training Day) has decided to resurrect a nearly extinct genre for a new generation of cowboys.
