Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat was made with fans in mind and, as such, it has little time or patience with those who come to it without the prerequisite background. 40% fight scenes and 60% fan service, Simon McQuiod’s slash-and-gore fest will leave the uni...

Nobody 2

Nobody 2 falls into the category of one of those sequels that not a lot of people really wanted but that nevertheless exists. The problem lies in the premise: it’s the sort of concept that works only once (the original Nobody was a lot of fun) a...

One Missed Call

One Missed Call is yet another PG-13 horror movie adapted from a Japanese source. Taken in concert with The Ring, one has to wonder if these productions illustrate some subconscious fear of technology felt by the Japanese. First, they're being me...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

It does not follow that a parody has to be funny but, in the case of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the humor is there. A clever send-up of comic book and video games (circa 1990), this movie illustrates that writer/director Edgar Wright can rise to...

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
