BRING HER BACK

“The reactions were opposites: on one side of the theater, people groaned in pain and disgust at the gory events unfolding on the screen, while on the other side, I sat, moaning in boredom and frustration over the confusing mess of a movie I was wasting my time on.”John Black, Cinekong

KARATE KID: LEGENDS

“The story felt like 2 separate movies, as seems to be the case with most of these nostalgia bait, I mean legacy films.” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING

“Not to be a spoilsport, but this latest film in the series is more like a big-budget version of old-time movie serials, where characters facing certain death at the end of one chapter were miraculously saved in the next.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

“Looking back on it afterward, Fountain Of Youth is as unbelievable as most other action adventure films. Yet by offering up engaging characters and healthy doses of humor along with the chases and stunts, it makes it easy to go along for the ride.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD

It is filled with creepy clowns and features plenty of gore and some inventive kills. Still, it also has a strong story, thanks to the novel it is based on by Adam Cesare, brought to life by a talented cast of young actors like Katie Douglas and Carson MacCormac, and veteran character actors like Will Sasso and Kevin Durand.John Black, Cinekong
