Movie reviews of Jeremie Sabourin

Old is a terrible, terrible film. Every low budget, independent film we’ve reviewed on this site has more passion, heart, knowledge, and ability behind it than this shoddily assembled and overproduced piece of trash. Review

Even with its slight detractors, Downeast still comes as recommended viewing for those with an appreciation for small town indie dramas. What it lacks in originality, it makes up for in character, heart, and technicality. Review

Once again, Black Widow is a fine film. It’s unlikely to be anyone’s favorite or most hated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s a film that’s just kind of there and, for the most part, it’s an enjoyable little spy film with some fun family elements thrown in. Review

While our criticisms here may be quite harsh, The Forever Purge is still a perfectly watchable film. If you liked the rest of the films in the franchise, there’s really no reason not to like this one. Review

When it comes to Luca as an overall product, much of the criticism could be considered nitpicky. There’s still a very strong story here and it’s a beautifully made film in general. Review

There’s a great, young actress in the lead, a built in audience since everyone is familiar with the character, and, hey, it’s Disney so it’ll be good. Review

Mark Lewis’s Strider isn’t quite the experience that Enthusiastic Sinners was (for many reasons) but it’s still a very solid product from a sound filmmaker. Review

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is fine but it’s hard to give it any higher praise than that. Fans of The Conjuring Universe will probably like it enough but there’s no doubt that it’s the worst of the three flagship titles. Review

It’s not without its extremely minor issues but it’s still an excellent horror film and one that every genre fan should go out of their way to see. Review

Despite a charming performance from Pigden, it’s just so hard to fully like Alex because of his actions. He doesn’t fit the mold of a typical protagonist which, frankly, could be kind of interesting. Review

While Those Who Wish Me Dead certainly shares some things in common with Sheridan’s past work, it just doesn’t feel as cohesive or as tight. Review

Though sometimes flawed, its bold script and the vision of its director makes it hard to get down on Confession. Review

It’s a much better effort than Jigsaw and is well made overall. Yet, it’s simply lacking too much in substance. Spiral‘s police procedural isn’t interesting enough to stand on its own legs but its Saw elements aren’t original or even all that creative enough to make it an interesting and effective horror experience either. Review

It’s easy to see that there is a passion and personal attachment from Kaitlyn Boxall to Behind Closed Doors. With such a personal topic, sometimes one can remain too close to the truth and ultimately forget what they’re trying to convey onscreen. On the other hand, some may add too much extra to sort of Hollywood the whole experience up a bit. Review

Even with its shortcomings though, it’s hard to get down on Mortal Kombat 2021 too much. It really tries hard to honor its namesake franchise and, honestly, doesn’t do that bad of a job. Review

Despite maybe too many storylines going on, Wheels is still a very compelling and entertaining drama about inner city individuals trying to make names for themselves. Review

Even though Nobody can be compared to other recent action films, most notably John Wick, that doesn’t mean that it’s unable to stand on its own. As stated earlier, the film is still very, very good and anyone who’s a fan of Bob Odenkirk or the action genre should definitely make it a point to see Nobody. Review

Sister Tempest is still the film that Badon wanted to make and, overall, it mostly hits a sweet spot between being intriguing and just being weird. Review

No matter how people feel about Snyder as a filmmaker, there’s absolutely no doubt that Zack Snyder’s Justice League is the best version of Justice League there is. Review

First Bite still comes recommended especially for horror and B-movie fans. If you’re a metalhead, even better. The film has attitude which sets itself apart from other more run-of-the-mill types of horror shorts. However, we keep coming back to the familiar story which drags the film down a bit. Review

With its unconventional filmmaking style, powerhouse lead performance, and wonderful technical achievements, it’s no wonder the film was nominated for six Oscars in the acting, directing, screenplay, and cinematography categories along with the big one for Best Picture. Review

Amaranthine is a very enjoyable and technically impressive short film experience. Review

With an excellent cast, including Rosamund Pike at the top of her game, and a compelling story about bad people looking to get rich, I Care a Lot certainly isn’t an uplifting story but it’s still a highly entertaining one. Review

Judas and the Black Messiah is excellent and an early favorite here in 2021. Its cultural significance certainly resonates today and the approach taken by Shaka King and his team is much welcome when compared to filmmakers like Spike Lee and Jordan Peele. Review
