Borderlands (2024) |
Sure there are tons of Easter eggs and visual references to the video games, but the fans deserve a lot better than whatever director Eli Roth is trying to do with Borderlands. This is the video game movie curse at its worst. - Discussing Film

Haunted Mansion (2023) |
Haunted Mansion wants to appeal to all audiences with its generalized (often flat) comedy and satisfy the fans of a very unique theme park ride. In this case, you can’t have both. - Geeks of Color

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) |
Snake Eyes is probably is the best G.I. Joe movie thus far, even if that isn't exactly the best compliment. We just have to hope the next film will have a sharpened focus, allowing for a smoother transition into the extravagant world of the Joes. - Geeks of Color

Critical Thinking (2020) |
Leguizamo goes with the flow and pokes fun at the "corniness" of it all. He immerses the viewer into being a member of the class - fully aware that he could lose your interest at any slip. - Geeks of Color
