Movie reviews of Jeremie Sabourin

Benjamin Ironside Koppin’s Made Me Do It is a very solid slasher film in a day and age where disappointment reigns over the subgenre. Review

Whereas Infinity War felt like a fresh and unique outlook on the future of Marvel, Endgame just feels like what you’ve come to expect from them. It’s boisterous and epic at times with a few touching moments and some comedy tacked on for good measure. Review

There were so many possibilities and directions that this film could’ve taken but, instead, it went the generic horror route. Overall, it’s kind of like The Conjuring meets The Ring but nowhere near as good as either of those films. Review

The script kills any enthusiasm from the performers and some of the acting just isn’t up to par regardless. Review

When all’s said and done, Shazam! isn’t a perfect superhero film by any means but it’s very enjoyable nonetheless. Review

Writer/director Matt Morris does such a great job with Partitioned Heart that it’s fully satisfying just the way it is while still leaving you craving more answers and details as the credits roll. Review

The one thing that brings Pet Sematary down, other than its slow start, is that it feels sort of run-of-the-mill. There’s nothing overly unique or interesting about it. It’s just a solid horror film. Review

The Horror at Gallery Kay is a very intriguing and emotionally deep story. It does take a little while to get to the proverbial meat of the story but, once you do, you’ll find yourself running the gamut of anger, compassion, grief, and remorse just as the characters do. Review

The film doesn’t care who it offends or why it offended them. This is what The Dirt needed to be and even though many will hate it, this approach should be applauded. Sure, some details are changed or embellished for the sake of making a more dramatic film. Review

The acting and direction keep its proverbial head above water. The story, though, just isn’t good. It’s an interesting idea but is poorly executed and explored by its creator. Review

Meet the Author is a funny, quirky, and even emotional little short film that has something important to say. Review

With its minor shortcomings, Lifechanger is still a breeze to watch and quite enjoyable throughout. Even though it has a slight identity crisis with its mishmash of genres, McConnell handles them all well. Review

It tries so hard to be colorful, fun, and joyful that it results in being completely devoid of all of those things. The story is horribly told, Brie Larson is the worst Marvel superhero in the MCU, and the film doesn’t make you nostalgic for the 90’s. It makes you despise the decade even more. Review

With an interesting story and a good cast with, specifically, Isabelle Huppert giving a crazed performance, Greta has a lot going for it. In addition, the attachment of director Neil Jordan was attractive despite his spotty overall history. Nonetheless, Greta doesn’t deliver fully on its potential. There are quality moments but its schizophrenic tone and total lack of subtlety leaves it relatively unmemorable. Review

Even with these minor negatives, Fighting With My Family is a satisfying experience overall. It does its job showing the tough nature of the wrestling business while still telling a feelgood story about a real wrestling family. Review

. Both Revell Carpenter and Kusami Hopkins deliver great performances with Carpenter being the true star in the film. On top of that, it’s very competently made with some nice camerawork and sharp editing. If it wasn’t for the unnatural and melodramatic feel of its most gripping scenes, Shadow would be highly recommended. Review

Both Michael Gonza and Marybeth Paul command attention from the audience and bring you on an interesting, albeit brief, ride. Review

Despite its stunning CGI and action scenes, though, Alita: Battle Angel just misses the mark with its confounding story. It was truly tough to rate this one as it’s actually entertaining. Yet, the messy plot is simply unforgivable. Review

Whether it’s through storytelling, originality, or thrills, The Prodigy falls well short of meeting the heights of its contemporaries. Review

It’s likely that you won’t hate the time you spend watching Vice but if the movie isn’t going to take itself seriously, then why should its audience? Review

At its root, the film’s a heartfelt story of a strained relationship that will be all too familiar to some. Review

Polar is a step back not only for comic book movies but for cinema in general with its misogynistic ideals, appalling characters, and horrendous storytelling. Review

For the majority of the runtime, viewers will find themselves enthralled by the quirky tandem of Imants and Harijs. Their interactions with each other as well as with the rest of the cast are simply excellent and there’s always something to chuckle at. Review

Sure, the characters and performances are fine for the most part. Literally everything else is garbage. Review
