Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

Though this sequel is ultimately not necessary, especially when the story is crafted around repeated mistakes and a seemingly greater number of villains than protagonists, the various expansions on the main concept are moderately amusing – and the finale is curiously hopeful and firmly resolute. Review

Enduringly striking as well is the appearance of Schreck, whose towering, spindly frame, paired with dark eyes, a prodigious nose, pointy ears, bushy eyebrows, spidery fingers, and acicular teeth are almost comical in their exaggerations. Review

Unfortunately, the scripting is generic, leaving Langley with a limited ability to appear sincere. And his nemesis, the outlaw Devlin, similarly fails to inspire dread – largely thanks to trite dialogue and a bland backstory. Review

This series didn’t need a “final” episode, but it’s nevertheless entertaining for what it is – and what it sets out to be. Review

At least viewers are given what they want, with the film culminating in the kind of bloody, extravagant chaos witnessed in the Piranha pictures of the 2010s, transforming into a full-on disaster movie of sorts. Review

Blue Monkey is too silly, unfocused, and poorly designed to have much of an impact. Review

Even in the final moments, when utter darkness seems inevitable, the film is smart enough to give viewers a glimmer of satisfaction; this is an absolutely staggering, breathtaking cinematic experience, even if it embraces high spirits over reality. Review

The humor and sarcasm tend to win out over the flimsy plot. Review

With all of its congruous themes and heart-stopping imagery, this is a tight, creative, sharply-paced, thoroughly entertaining chiller. Review

Although Washington remains utterly absorbing in every frame, it must be mentioned that Hawke does a fine job as well, exhibiting the opposite end of the spectrum. Review

Unfortunately, sensational imagery alone cannot salvage a dearth of originality and vision. Review

Whatever the ultimate purpose behind Galaxina, it’s so pitifully paced and uninterestingly scripted that it’s doomed to fail. Review

Crocodile is simply too uninspired and pitifully conceived to be redeemable... Review

There’s actually a lot at work underneath the main plot, considering that Mickey Rooney’s former horse trainer has a considerable history; a concern that taming a wild animal limits its freedoms weaves its way through the formulaic conditioning... Review

And though it’s ultimately a small, simple story, with its titular role remaining the most memorable component, MGM had quite the winner on its hands... Review

Unfortunately, the exceptionally brief attention paid to that concept makes it feel inconsequential; it’s intermittently easy to forget what the story is supposed to be about – and to care. Review

Fortunately, a few stunts are rather impressive while director George P. Cosmatos shoots many sequences like an updated, slicker Halloween thriller; the presentation of much of the violence is enough to border on horror. Review

It’s a strangely comforting sort of low-stakes actioner, in which none of the stars are really ever in serious trouble – and in which snappy remarks come to the rescue as much as fortuitous bullet trajectories. Review

At least the emotions are there, with slow-motion machismo, teary-eyed reunions, and roars of defiance during climactic confrontations, generating a comforting aura that fits well with Deadpool’s brand, even if this latest episode is both entertaining throughout and completely forgettable afterward. Review

The characters may be quirky and pleasant (salt-of-the-earth types), the photography vivid, the settings tranquil, the editing professional, and the graphics sharp, but it’s difficult to imagine that more than a handful of people will be entertained by this story... Review

As the tornado whisperer flirtatiously clashes with the tornado wrangler, the film tries way too hard to be exciting, resulting in exceptionally dull dialogue and interactions, which weirdly mirror the original Twister so closely that this essentially in-spirit-only sequel actually works pointedly as a remake. Review

In a largely unoriginal riches-to-rags premise, the ultra affluent man is about to learn a few lessons concerning extreme poverty and compassion. It may be a comedy, but the lead character fairly quickly finds himself subjected to utter disregard and even violence. Review

Despite the amusement of the vast collection of stars and the whirlwind of Western adventure, it will surely be the score that persists beyond the other individual elements of this grandiose endeavor. Review

Thankfully, the picture is short, and Kristel is memorable. Review
