This new version of the classic fairytale attempts to modernize tropes, but falters in its execution Since most classic fairytales are in the public domain, any film studio could theoretically produce them. However, the

The newest Fast & Furious entry continues a downward trend The Fast and Furious films started as street-racing flicks but have since evolved into superspy ridiculous action blockbusters. This has pleased fans up to a poi
Young CriticThe Woman in the Window
Joe Wright's star-studded troubled film is a sloppy mess Many films face an uphill and seemingly impossible climb to get produced and released. The most recent troubled film is The Woman in the Window (2021), adapted fro
Young CriticMortal Kombat (2021)
The new reboot is lazily crafted and tonally dull Time and time again Hollywood will continue to make attempts at cracking the formula of the videogame movie. There have been modest box office results with the likes of L
Young CriticGodzilla v. Kong
The culmination of the "monster verse" continues its downward trend As a child playing with action-figures or dolls, one can have the craziest fantasy crossovers in their mind; Gandalf and Dumbledore meeting, Luke Skywal
Young CriticComing 2 America
A sequel with no creative motive or purpose to exist Eddie Murphy seems to be coming out of his semi-retirement from acting. With him we regain one of the best comedic talents in cinema, but he’s also showing his capabil

Tate Taylor continues down a path of disappointing projects Tate Taylor is a director whose trajectory has curiously gone in an inverted way. He started off with splashy prestige Hollywood fare such as The Help (2011), o

Young CriticCapone
Al Capone is one of the most well-known real-world villains of history. The Chicago gangster has been the subject of endless novels, shows, and films. However, most iterations focus on him at his ascension on zenith of h

Despite Parasite (2019) winning the Oscar for Best Picture, Americans still find it extremely hard to watch a foreign film. While we might hopefully not be getting a Parasite remake (there is an HBO series in the works,
Young CriticDolittle
It’s surprising to say, but out of all the iterations of the Dolittle story, the seeming trashy Eddie Murphy ones are the best. They were able to capture the ridiculousness of the premise of a doctor who communicates wit
Young CriticRambo: Last Blood
The Rambo film series is a curious case study of how a small and well-intentioned film, was corrupted because of its own success. The first Rambo film, First Blood (1982), took an allegorical look at the difficulties Vie

There’s a reason why horror films have such low budgets; such a volatile genre can deliver massive cultural and commercial hits or some of the worst films ever released. Smart directors are able to spin the low money int
Young CriticGodzilla: King of the Monsters

Young CriticBaywatch (2017)
Is there anything Hollywood won’t remake? There is such a seeded fear in movie studios on betting on an original story, instead we keep getting delivered with remakes, reboots, prequels, sequels, and spin-offs; you wond
