While a unnecessary reboot, there is no denying this adaptation aims to bring something different.
“Fear The Night” is for those who want a simple action movie where you watch a woman whip a lot of ass without using a gun.
The film ‘Mickey Hardaway,’ is a thought-provoking narrative that showcases the poignant themes of mental health, its associated stigmas, and the mutable power of resilience, making it a must-watch for fans of deeply moving indie flicks.
“Cobweb” has a wonderful mystery and build that it squanders thanks to its ending.
“Barbie” is a fun, often comical movie laced with a strong feminist message and depiction of what can happen if toxic masculinity and patriarchal views go unchecked.
While “Talk To Me” comes with graphic imagery and the occasional comical moment, the characters have hastened development which doesn’t really push you to care about who lives or dies, but rather how.
In the gripping BET film “Call Her King,” Judge Jaeda King finds herself in the midst of a high-stakes murder case, while her personal and professional life collides under immense pressure and challenged beliefs.
“The Out-Laws” is a pleasant “watch because it is new, and you feel you’ve watched everything else” movie.
“Insidious: The Red Door” is a reminder of why it has been so refreshing for new horror movies to not only come out but also get a marketing budget so that you know they exist.
Can you imagine, to hopefully have kids one day, having to go to a room where everyone knows what you are doing and… you know.
Welcome to the 00s when TRL was huge, magazines mattered more than ever, and bellybutton piercings were all the rage thanks to so many pop princesses like Britney Spears.
The lack of a coherent plot and action in “The Dial of Destiny” brings Indiana Jones to a frustrating and disappointing end.
“Murder City” is a movie with fine actors and cinematography that’s in search of a more riveting story.
Work can often get in the way of romance, especially when survival is more paramount than quality time.
With the type of animation which pushes you to think something nefarious could happen, “Witchfairy” sets you up for one thing but pleasantly gives you another.
While many horror films have drama elements, “Run Rabbit Run” flips things and is a drama with horror elements that doesn’t necessarily do much beyond give us a creepy child.
“The Mecca of Comedy” is an intriguing look into the DC comedy scene, but it could use another edit and more comedy.
While tediously as long as its predecessor, “Through My Window: Across The Sea” still works well as “365 Days” young adult counterpart.
“Blood for Dust” is a moody film that examines upwards mobility in America, yet the movie struggles to give you a reason to care for its protagonist.
“Love To Love You, Donna Summer” is extensive but underwhelming.
David Gelb and Disney’s “Stan Lee” is a sweet yet flawed and watered-down documentary about the Marvel creator’s life that becomes more interested in the superheroes rather than Lee himself.
“Sublime” delivers a slice-of-life story, and performances that gives perhaps the most tame LGBT story you may have ever watched.
Jennifer Lawrence plays what feels like an embellished version of her public persona in a pleasant film that seems like it should have been released on Hulu.
“Dead Girls Dancing” feels aimless as you await the story to pick up and make clear what we’re building up to.
“The Perfect Find” makes a decent romantic comedy once it moves past its ageism and misogynoir jokes.
“Suitable Flesh” may lack an explanation regarding what is happening, but you’ll be so locked in you may forget your questions until after the movie is over.
Mary Herron and John C. Walsh’s “Dalíland” portrays the life of one of art’s most celebrated and inspiring figures with a tame and uninspiring story.
“Perpetrator” is more interested in ways to use and shoot blood than truly give life to its characters and anything it sets up plot-wise.
“The Secret Kingdom” is a fantasy story for the family with unique visuals and character designs. Yet you’ll feel like you’ve seen this story before.
“The Graduates,” thankfully avoids showing a school shooting, but what’s left leaves you wanting more.
D.W. Medoff’s “Pollen” is a horror film that doesn’t frighten you with scares, but chills you with its authentic portrait of trauma.
“The Boogeyman” crafts grief, scares, and compelling performances in a way few monster movies do.
Sebastian Maniscalco’s “About My Father” showcases a sweet relationship between De Niro and Maniscalco, but it’s coated in forgettable comedy and a story we’ve seen too many times.
A few chronically funny mishaps and personalities lead to a half-a-million-dollar reward.
While “Mother’s Day” has a big personality character and decent action scenes, it lacks the emotion, adventure, or drive necessary to keep it from becoming background noise.
“The Little Mermaid” thankfully takes enough from the Broadway musical and further creative license from the Hans Christian Anderson story to make an entertaining, though serviceable, film.
“Robots” is a forgettable comedy that seems to yearn for when men got to be funny and women were meant to be seen and buzzkills.
“Fast X” is so entertainingly bad that it might be considered good.
Robert Rodriguez and Ben Affleck’s “Hypnotic” is a messy but intriguing movie with twists that change the movie’s characters, genre, and entire story.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
