This was taken from my 2017 archives but here’s my rant review of Transformers: The Last Knight. #TransformersTheLastKnight #Transformers #MarkWahlberg #IsabelaMoner #MichaelBay Synopsis Humans are at war with the Transformers, and Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving the future lies buried in the secrets of the past and the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Now, it's up to the unlikely...

The final re-review of the first 4 Bay Transformers movies is finally here after a little delay and back 9 years ago in 2014, I was a defender, but over time, I've came to the realization that this is a very disappointing, overlong and indulgent effort from Bay that frustrates me with so much wasted potential. #Transformers #AgeofExtinction #RiseoftheBeasts TIMECODES 0:00 - intro/review starts/pro...

After a long delay and a few months since Rise of the Beasts, its time to finish off the re-reviews of the first four Transformers movies with my re-reviews of Dark of the Moon, the third and final film in the Bay Witwicky trilogy and see if it's an improvement. #Transformers #MichaelBay #DarkoftheMoon *TIMECODES* 0:00 - Cold opening/intro 0:14 - review starts 1:50 - plot sypnosis/my history 4:40...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the sequel to the 2007 hit and for 14 years, it's been regarded as one of the worst movies/sequels ever, however, for me, while this is a movie that's had a tumultuous production, I still find some enjoyment in it, despite a ton of issues. #TransformersRevengeoftheFalen #Transformers #RseoftheBeasts *TIMECODES* 0:00 - Intro/review begins - cast and crew/plot...

Leading up to the new film "Rise of the Beasts", it's time for me to revisit and re-review the first 4 Michael Bay Transformers movies, beginning with the 2007 film that was released 16 years ago and it's still for me the best Transformers film.

A Breed Apart had the chance to be a stupid but fun “so bad it’s good” B-movie with an interesting crazy premise. The biggest downfall is that it’s not only not fun or stupid or campy, it is a very miserable, boring and dull experience. Here’s a complete RANT review of A Breed Apart. In this video, we cover why the film doesn’t work for me, the few positives I can give (GCC’s performance, some dec...

After 13 years and a 7 month-long wait to reviewing this one, we get to James Cameron's anticipated sequel to his beloved Avatar and while I think this is an overlong film that HIGHLY overstays it's welcome, I do find it entertaining.

Avatar: The Way of Water is weeks away and I'm speeding things up with the Cameron review series by reviewing Cameron's second great sequel to the 1984 classic with "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". #Terminator2JudgementDay #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #LindaHamilton #Terminator2 #JamesCameron Sypnosis In this sequel set eleven years after "The Terminator," young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the key to civ...

Continuing my series of James Cameron reviews leading up to Avatar: The Way of Water and we take a revisited look at his truly first great directorial debut that combines sci-fi with horror and spawned one of my favorite franchises ever in The Terminator, released in 1984. #TheTerminator #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #JamesCameron Sypnosis Disguised as a human, a cyborg assassin known as a Terminator (Arn...

Leading up to his new film, "Avatar: The Way of Water", it's time to take on the filmography of James Cameron with the movies I haven't reviewed (except The Abyss) and this is a prime example of studio interference at it's absolute worst and results in one of the most abysmal sequels and films I've seen in my life. #PirahnaII #JamesCameron Sypnosis When genetically-modified flying piranhas are let...

Titanic has been acclaimed for 25 years as one of Cameron's best movies (while also being divisive), so here's my revisited movie review to find out how I feel about it in more detail as part of my James Cameron review series. #Titanic #JamesCameron #LeonardoDicaprio #KateWinslet Timecodes 0:00 - cold opening/intro 0:35 - quick trailer 1:09 - review starts 2:02 - cast and crew 2:42 - production hi...

The Strangers Chapter 2 is the sequel to the Strangers Chapter 1 and the fourth overall film in the Strangers film series and while I was disappointed with the first film in this trilogy, I was still willing to give the second half of the story a chance for the talent involved and to see where it would go. Let me tell you this: this is NOT an improvement whatsoever and even just aa more frustratin...

The original M3GAN was not only one of the bigger surprises of this decade, but also one of my favorite films of 2023, so of course a sequel was inevitable. The question is: does M3GAN 2.0 live up to the standards of the first film or does it take yourself a little bit too goofy with its genre change up? this is my review of M3GAN 2.0. #m3gan2 #megan2 #allisonwilliams #jennadavis #violetmcgraw #ge...

Fancy Dance is not one of the greatest films I saw of last year, but I left out of Fancy Dance thinking that this was absolutely an underrated gem that should've been checked out. #FancyDanceMovie #FancyDance #AppleTVPlus #LilyGladstone Sypnosis Since her sister's disappearance, Jax has cared for her niece, Roki, by scraping by on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma.

The Matrix Resurrections came out a month ago and it has taken a while but I finally get to talk about my thoughts on the entertaining but flawed 4th entry into the series, 22 years after the original and 18 years after the sequels. It is co-produced, co-written, and directed by Lana Wachowski. It stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Lambert Wilson, Jada Pinkett Smith, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jess...

Six months after the release of the second film and 19 years since it's release, The Matrix Revolutions has been deemed an unsatisfying and anticlimactic end to the original Matrix trilogy but just like with Reloaded, it has its fanbase. In this passionate review, Joshua gives his thoughts as to why he thinks it's a flawed but satisfying ending to the original Matrix trilogy and why he thinks it d...

For 18 years, the first sequel to the amazing Matrix has been ridiculed, criticized and unfairly misjudged for not being as great as the first and in this review, I talk about my favorite Matrix film here "The Matrix Reloaded" and why I think it's underrated and is deserving of another chance. #TheMatrixReloaded Sypnosis Freedom fighters Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus...
