Movie Review: 'Werewolves Within' Brings the Fun of Social Deduction Games to the Big Screen
Werewolves Within is a wildly clever comedy based on a social deduction game, one in which one character is a hidden werewolf and the rest of the players have to use questions and clues to determine who the werewolf is. The game was made for the Playstation console several years ago and an adaptation of the game had been in the works for some time when director Josh Ruben and writer Mishna Wolff won the chance to make the movie. And they made quite a good movie.

Classic Movie Review: 'Fast & Furious'
The Fast and the Furious is one of the greatest guilty pleasure movies ever. Of course the plot is meaningless and the acting is comically over the top and undercooked, great acting was never the point. The Fast and the Furious was about cars. Big engines, high speeds and killer paint jobs. Throw in a few bullets and a few extraordinary women and you have a recipe for a B-movie, drive in masterpiece.

Classic Movie Review: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
I walked into the first The Fast and the Furious movie with the attitude that I was going to suffer through another brainless, bloated action spectacle and... I was right. However, even as I got exactly the bad movie I expected I was somehow won over by the spectacle. Something about those fabulous cars, all of that speed, and those extreme chase scenes overcame my disgust with the acting and the script and made me really like that picture.

5 Things You May Not Know About 'Deliverance' 1972
Deliverance is the classic on the latest edition of the Everyone’s a Critic Movie Review Podcast. The film was chosen because, regardless of its legacy, it remains arguably, the most famous role in the career of actor Ned Beatty. The beloved character actor Beatty passed away in early June of 2021 at the age of 83. Plus, my co-host, Bob Zerull has never seen Deliverance and we both felt that the movie would make for an interesting conversation.

Classic Movie Review: '2 Fast 2 Furious'
Who said you need a plot to make a movie? Certainly not the producers of the original Fast and The Furious. Grab a couple boy-toy Hollywood hunks, a couple hot babes and a whole lot of even hotter looking cars and you've got a movie. There was some mess about stealing and cops and undercover whatever. The only thing anyone remembers about the film is the cars.

My Review of "Luca"
Luca is the latest Pixar full feature length animated movie in 2021. It wasn't too long ago that the movie Soul had come out and we're already treated to another Pixar movie. It certainly comes to no surprise that Pixar has pretty much mastered the coming of age storyline. All of their movies talk about growth of an individual. Each movie however has a different tone and spin to it.

Movie Review: 'Fatherhood' Strands Kevin Hart in Sitcomic Clichés
Fatherhood stars Kevin Hart as Matt. We meet Matt on the day of his wife’s funeral. Matt’s wife died shortly after giving birth to their first child, Maddy. It's a strong start and Kevin Hart proves right away that he can play grief. The film flashes back and introduces us to Matt's wife, Liz played by Deborah Ayorinde, and for a few minutes you think we might be watching an original take on single parenthood. Sadly, this only lasts about 10 minutes before we are into poopy diapers and baby vomit. It's a sinking feeling because you can sense what kind of movie Fatherhood could be if it weren't constantly striving for the lowest common denominator gags.

Movie Review: Way Too Many Words to Say I Don't Recommend 'The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard'
I was baffled when I heard that there was going to be a sequel to The Hitman’s Bodyguard. I had believed that the movie wasn’t much of a hit. Thus, I was surprised to learn that the movie had made more $175 million dollars worldwide on what looked like a budget of $30.00. I know it was $30 million but did you see The Hitman’s Bodyguard? The effects looked like the result of a really sketchy green screen and liberal use of MS Paint.

Black Widow The Movie. The Characters Changed Since Iron Man 2.
Finally, after a much longer wait than should have been, and a pandemic, the much wanted and anticipated release of the "Black Widow" movie is getting close enough the excitement has my arm hairs standing on end. Scarlett Johansson is finally getting the standalone movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe she should have gotten after Marvels' Avengers. As a fan of the movies this is big, no huge, no colossal...you get the gist. After first appearing in the MCU in Iron Man 2, we're finally going to get to see a little of where Natasha Romanoff, the totally badass, fiery redhead, Avenger came from and learn a little more in-depth about the origins of the MCU's favorite assassin and ex-Sheild Agent. But, what about the actress?
