Review: Jumanji: The Next Level

By Jaskee Hickman
December 12, 2019
in :  Reviews
Karen Gillan, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black star in Sony Pictures' JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL

Although Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was fantastic, my expectations for the sequel immediately following it were low. In the back of my mind, I saw Jumanji: The Next Level as potentially being just another grab at cash since the one before it made far more money than anyone could have anticipated. Luckily, I can report that this sequel is …

Review: Stuber

Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani star in 20th Century Fox's STUBER

On some levels, Stuber is the typical action comedy meant for adults. For some, this could be appealing, but I’m not sure it has enough to really grab and maintain an audience. There’s nothing that really stands out or makes it anything more than a generic movie. This could be disappointing to anyone who may be interested, but that’s more …

Both of those things are probably exciting, but you always have to be able to enjoy the actual movie. I’m …

Josh Brolin stars in Marvel Studios' AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

With Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, Anthony and Joe Russo have proven to be directors capable of making exceptional films within the MCU construct. This was also why I felt confident in their abilities as filmmakers to make Avengers: Infinity War into something special. With that being said, I was also fully aware that the …

Review: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

By Jaskee Hickman
December 20, 2017
in :  Reviews
(L-R)Jack Black, Nick Jonas, Karen Gillan, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart star in Columbia Pictures' JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

You can’t blame anyone for believing that Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was going to be just another reboot/sequel to a film that came out ages ago. It’s something that we’re used to seeing at this point in time. Because of this now being normal, I didn’t think I would be watching a movie that would offer anything different outside …
