As a well-acted standard-order bio-pic, "Ferrari" delivers but as something more, it falls short.

Has a strong premise and well-defined characters but is missing too much connective tissue to fully satisfy.

Run Time: 1:50
U.S. Release Date: 2023-10-27
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Horror
Director: Emma Tammi
Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Matthew Lillard, Mary Stuart Masterson

As a motion picture, it is disjointed and ultimately unsatisfying but as part of a larger cog in a cross-platform franchise, it does everything expected from it.

Run Time: 1:53

MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Chloe Domont
Cast: Phoebe Dynevor, Alden Ehrenreich, Eddie Marsan

Although it does not qualify as a white-knuckle sort of movie, it exerts a magnetism that is difficult to turn away from.

The best things – or at least the most memorable ones – are rooted in fan service and nostalgia. The movie, although too long by about 45 minutes, is enjoyable on that level.

"Fast X" brings little new to a series that has been repeating itself since it went hyperkinetic with installment #4.

It probably will not go down as “Great Spielberg” or even “Very Good Spielberg” but represents a warm, enjoyable plunge into the 1950s and 1960s.

Director: Scott Mann
Cast: Grace Fulton

As B-movies go, this one is good enough to hold the attention and wring out the tension without doing anything more ambitious.

Cast:

As much about atonement and forgiveness as it is a critique of Colonial attitudes of racism and white supremacy that are deeply entrenched in Western society.

With wooden acting, a plodding storyline, and several cringeworthy changes from the source material, the 2022 version indeed starts a fire – a dumpster fire.
