Review: Alain Moussi and Frank Grillo in King of Killers movie 2023

Alain Moussi’s fighting prowess is on display in KING OF KILLERS, but what the former stuntman and martial arts-trained actor has to kick up a notch are his acting skills. Frank Grillo is the main attraction in KING OF KILLERS, and the actor shows up his fellow costars in this solid action movie but the film suffers from some corny and on-the-nose dialogue.

 John Cena, Meredith Hagner, Lil Rel Howery and Yvonne Orji in Vacation Friends 2 movie review on CineMovie

VACATION FRIENDS wasn’t the greatest movie but the odd pairing of John Cena and Lil Rel Howery and the ridiculous shenanigans made it a fun watch from the comfort of your home. The sequel, unfortunately, doesn’t live up to the hijinks of the original even with the addition of Steve Buscemi.

 Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano

For someone not well-versed in Dave Filoni's Rebels and The Clone Wars story and characters, the Ahsoka characters will feel a bit foreign in their relationship to each other but casual Star Wars fans will be steeped in a familiar world of Jedis and cool lightsaber duels. However, don't fret! There's plenty of exposition setting up the characters and their past history so viewers are in the loop. The first two episodes are action-filled with no downtime.

Blue Beetle movie review 2023  

To be honest, the BLUE BEETLE trailers didn’t completely sell the DC comic book adaptation although I was excited to see the first DC Latino superhero on the big screen. Thankfully, BLUE BEETLE is a huge surprise with an emotional core that drives the action rather than the other way around. While you can’t avoid your standard genre clichés, it does break them such as having the family members as sidekicks rather than merely emotional props.

Director Alex Winter, best known for BILL & TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, directs the feature documentary, THE YOUTUBE EFFECT. Now available on streaming, the documentary digs into the birth of the video-sharing platform and its evolution into a divisive and radical influence.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem Review 

Pixar elevated the animation industry with CGI which delivered polished and clean imagery, but films like Academy Award-winning film SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, its sequel ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE, and now TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM return to basics with raw and hand drawn-looking artwork. The style is fitting for the cinematic adaptation of these comic book heroes who are endearing and hilarious.

This Fool 2023 Hulu series season 2

Those fools from the hood are back in season 2 of the extremely funny Hulu series,  This Fool.  The irreverent comedy starring Chris Estrada, Frankie Quinones, and Michael Imperioli, perfectly captures life in South Central. The quirky characters decide to open up a new coffee shop, "Mugs Not Thugs" and of course, there are shenanigans that will have you rolling on the floor although the laughs are not as consistent as last season.

Simu Liu, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in Barbie movie review

As expected, Greta Gerwig’s (LADYBIRD) live-action BARBIE movie is filled with subversive feminist messaging but Gerwig balances the truth bombs with comedy.  Margot Robbie is a perfect Barbie and Ryan Gosling steals the show with his himbo Ken-energy. Gerwig also manages to honor the Mattel icon without belittling the brand and empowers little girls to want more than just tea parties.
