Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

Odd occurrences, idiosyncratic interplay, and curious conversations abound, but little of it is genuinely moving or exciting; the substance here is conspicuously lacking, even with its decided unpredictability. Review

This may not be one of Pixar’s more surpassing works, but it’s nonetheless pleasant and reasonably entertaining. Review

Many of the happenings are mostly anticipated, with minimal surprises, as if something of an incarceration procedural. Still, moments are reserved for cathartic release; when the antagonists are portrayed to such heightened degrees of vileness, their comeuppances are horrifyingly enthralling. Review

All of these components coalesce into an unusually silly ordeal, yet it’s difficult not to be amused by the violence, the vampire bloodshed, and the last-minute injections of bouncing cleavage. Review

By the end, the continual running and fighting grows monotonous; when the two lead humans can’t die, and the collection of hero Transformers seem impervious to virtually everything, the stakes are too low to muster emotional investment. Review

Miles is still a fitting lead with a perspective infrequently examined in big-budget ventures; and the soundtrack is bold and thunderous. But, taking a cue from Avengers: Infinity War, this sequel isn’t even close to being a complete story... Review

At least it’s a good-looking production, with its original blend of 3D stylization (bordering on a live-action look) overlaid with 2D shading effects. Review

This tale may have familiar hallmarks of other down-to-earth, family-focused, teen-oriented dramas, as well as a certain un-cinematic quality of incredibly ordinary, sensible, intermittently guessable happenings, but it still manages to present engaging personas pursuing emotional endeavors. Review

Butler is a dependable action star, in the same vein as Liam Neeson, but this production is about as bland and unmemorable as they get. Review

The music and the basic plot are still exceptional, but this modernization can’t come close to capturing the magic of its three-decades-older inspiration. Review

Though the majority of the players are unmemorable, it’s admittedly amusing to see so many returning stars and cameos. Review

The presentation here is one of regular tedium; no matter the importance of this subject, or the need for certain audiences to absorb it, this production is a tremendous bore. Review

Though the premise is entirely original, it’s thoroughly messy and occasionally nonsensical. Review

It’s all a touch too simple and uninspiring, despite an undoubtedly wry script. Review

Hilu may not have been the most important artist to scrutinize, but Golod nevertheless does a commendable job of making him a cinematic figure. Review

It ought to end the way that it does, cinematically shifting tragedy into fulfillment, but the journey is tremendously ineffectual. Review

Despite the regular violence, the scaly creature costumes, the mad scientist, and the otherworldly voodoo, the film isn’t creative enough to hold much interest. Review

Though the sets and locales for the first few numbers are engaging, the songs themselves are largely minimal and forgettable. Review

There isn’t much of a story, instead resorting to the lens simply loitering around the minimal enterprises of an Italian hood and his connections. Review

The premise is essentially an elaborate, big-budget Star Trek episode, full of side missions that do absolutely nothing other than segue to other side missions, until a final showdown is imminent. Review

Fully embracing car culture, yet without the over-the-top slang abused in the previous picture, this third chapter dispenses with the undercover cop missions and action-packed showdowns with cartel kingpins to dwell on a specific car community and racing scene that appears initially more grounded than before. Review

Though it’s still a cops-and-robbers type of premise, little about it feels as if a genuine endeavor at crime drama. Review

However, even as the plot begins to almost identically resemble Point Break, it’s evident that the real purpose of this production is fast-car porn. Review

Even with the potency of the drama, there’s something missing here, which prevents the film from being wholly absorbing. Review
