Review: The Rental

By Jaskee Hickman
July 23, 2020
in :  Reviews
Dan Stevens and Alison Brie star in IFC Films' THE RENTAL

The Rental is a pretty straightforward thriller in some ways. With its small budget and cast to go with its short run time, that shouldn’t come as much of a shock. Overall, I liked it and left it mostly satisfied with what was included even if there are a few things that probably could have been fixed in order to …

Review: The Disaster Artist

Dave Franco and James Franco star in A24 Films' THE DISASTER ARTIST

Since its release in 2003, The Room has garnered praise for being one of the absolute worst movies of all-time. Yeah, that sounds like an awkward statement, but it’s one that makes sense when you’ve seen the actual movie and know at least a few things about the stories behind its creator and his creation. If you haven’t seen it …

Review: Nerve

Nerve is a good movie that provides thrills as long as you're like me and had no idea what was about to happen. It would also help if you're the kind of person who is fine with it being as safe as it is.

At some point, taking risks is something that we all need to do. Yeah, it’s both fun and scary, but it’s also needed for survival. As seen in Nerve, taking chances can be dangerous, but there are sometimes opportunities for growth and change.

(L-r) Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Daniel Radcliffe, Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Eisenberg star in Lionsgate's NOW YOU SEE ME 2

You want movies that are different from the norm to be good and be financially successful. When those two things happen, there’s probably at least a chance of more unique films being released into the mainstream at some point in the future.

Review: Unfinished Business

By Charles Nash

20th Century Fox: Dave Franco, Tom Wilkinson and Vince Vaughn star in "Unfinished Business"

About halfway through the dreadful new buddy comedy, Unfinished Business, Vince Vaughn’s straight-man protagonist vents to a few stoners in a smoking den by stating, “Teasing sucks.” That’s ironic, considering a large portion of jokes within this sloppy, terribly unfunny film consist of mocking mentally challenged individuals, the gay community, the entire country of Germany, and even people with silly …
