After dazzling with his terrifying thriller A Quiet Place and its equally terrific sequel A Quiet Place Part II, there would be few expecting writer/director John Krasinski to pick a family fantasy comedy as his next film. Then again, he's not the first director with such a wild genre shift in their filmography. Robert Rodriguez's resume includes both From Dusk Till Dawn and Spy Kids. Martin Scorsese gave us Shutter Island and Hugo. George Miller, the man behind the Mad Max franchise, is also responsible for Babe and Happy Feet. And, of course, Steven...

A refreshing change from the tentpole sequels, remakes, and adaptations that litter the U.S. summer box office season, Free Guy arrives in cinemas (and only in cinemas) unburdened by the heavy weight of hype. Sure, its release date has been postponed three times in the last 18 months, which naturally increases anticipation, but it's unlikely most audiences are expecting all that much from this film. Admittedly, I was one of them. But this superbly entertaining blast proves to be the biggest surprise package of the season and perhaps even...

Full disclosure - until the trailer for its sequel dropped, I had forgotten 2017's The Hitman's Bodyguard existed. A breezy late-summer popcorn action movie that earned tepid reviews and a mildly respectable worldwide gross of $180 million, it wasn't exactly the most memorable of films. Evidently, it's since found a fanbase that warranted a follow-up. And, let's face it, new distributor Lionsgate is desperate for a successful franchise outside of Saw and John Wick. Much like most action sequels, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (just FYI - there's no "The" in...

Remember the moment it was announced a big Hollywood live-action film adaptation of beloved Japanese video game, movie, and television series juggernaut Pokémon was coming, starring Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu? It was the collective "WTF?" heard around the globe. Standing as one of the year's most unusual properties, the casting of Reynolds in Pokémon Detective Pikachu proves to be rather inspired and ultimately saves this film entirely. While the screenplay relies too heavily on audiences having prior knowledge of the franchise to fully appreciate the end result...

There are times when a film critic is asked to review some strange pieces of cinema, but none are perhaps stranger this year than Once Upon a Deadpool, a rather bizarre holiday re-release of Deadpool 2 bereft of the swearing, sexual content, blood, and gore that's become this anti-Marvel franchise's calling card. "Why?" you may ask. Honestly, I'm really not quite sure. Since this film was plonked onto the theatrical schedule back in September, there have been a few theories. Some have suggested this is all to do with...
