“Mutiny” is a strong addition to the action-thriller catalog
“Mutiny” is exactly what you would expect from a Jason Statham film. It is filled with action and violence. Most of the scenes are shot on a ship at sea, which gives a claustrophobic sense of impending doom. The story begins with one car deliberately ramming another one. No explanation is given at the time. We then cut to a building where Cole Reed (Jason Statham) is providing security for two men, father and son.
“The End of Oak Street” is a solid but too predictable story
“The End of Oak Street” is a solid entry as an adventure and science fiction film. Set in 1982, where personal informational technology is still limited, the story offers an engaging take on how humans would react to going to the time of the dinosaurs. Although the family drama is predictable and boring, it does not occupy too much of the movie’s time as survival in a hostile world becomes the new paradigm.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” brings a heartwarming story back to the Marvel Universe
Noah and Louis share their thoughts on the newest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”. Both of them enjoyed the movie, and think people would enjoy it better by avoiding spoilers before seeing it. There are cameos that fit the current MCU, but Louis strongly believes a couple of twists are better as surprises. Louis gives Spider-Man: Brand New Day a strong 3.5 out of 5 stars, Noah gives it a solid 4 stars. Are you a STAR TREK fan?

“The Odyssey” is a masterclass in filmmaking
“The Odyssey” lives up to its hype. Truly a masterclass in both film-making and story-telling, it establishes Christopher Nolan as a modern auteur. The examination of themes such as the price of war and the cost of abandoning one’s principles is paramount. Homer’s Odyssey has been around for about 2700 years. So can there be any spoilers in a film version of such an ancient text? I would say if there are spoilers, then they derive from the way Nolan portrays or handles a particular scene.
“Evil Dead Burn”: a disappointing shift away from pulp fun
In the decades following World War II, horror movies were a fun, pulpy genre that primarily catered to young audiences. The 1950s and 60s saw the emergence of B-movies that existed solely to entertain. However, as films became increasingly graphic in their depictions of gore, a new generation of filmmakers emerged in the 1980s. These directors drew inspiration from the pulp stories they had grown up with but infused them with a greater abundance of blood and guts.
