Review: Cruella

Review: Cruella

        Cruella marks the second time Disney has given us a live-action reimagining of one of their iconic villains following 2014’s Maleficent. And much like Maleficent, Cruella was a movie that was very frustrating. There are a lot of elements to the film that I really liked, particularly the look and the vibe of everything. But that all gets bogged down by a bloated runtime and a very messy plot. Cruella de Vil’s villain origin story…

Review: A Quiet Place Part II

Review: A Quiet Place Part II

        2018’s A Quiet Place was a critical and box office sensation and a breakout hit for director John Krasinski. One of the aspects that made that film great was its simple concept: if you make a sound, your life could be over. Krasinski crafted a terrifying, thrilling film and one that put Krasinski on the scene as a director. With A Quiet Place Part II, Krasinski shows his growth as a director….

Review: Army of the Dead

Review: Army of the Dead

        Army of the Dead marks director Zack Snyder’s return to the zombie genre since his feature directorial debut Dawn of the Dead, a remake of the George A. Romero zombie classic. The film also marks the first Snyder film not rooted in the world of DC universe since 2011’s Sucker Punch. Seeing as I think Dawn of the Dead is Snyder’s best film as a director, as well as not being the biggest fan of…

Review: Profile

Review: Profile

        Profile is the latest film in this new genre of thrillers that take place entirely on a computer/phone screen, following in the footsteps of such films as Unfriended, Searching, and Spree. But unlike those movies, in which the screen-sharing gimmick runs thin the longer the movie goes on, Profile is a gripping, intense thriller that never lets up and uses the screen sharing gimmick perfectly. Amy (Valene Kane) is a struggling journalist looking for a gig…

Review: Those Who Wish Me Dead

Review: Those Who Wish Me Dead

        Those Who Wish Me Dead is a testament to the superstar that is Angelina Jolie. Director/co-writer Taylor Sheridan’s latest woodsy western thriller pits Jolie deep in the Montana woods as a forest fire rages and two incredibly dangerous hitmen chase her and a boy who has secrets about their boss. It’s a simple premise reminiscent of the mid-budget thriller of the 90’s, but it’s a tense, wild ride and Jolie is front…

Review: Initiation

Review: Initiation

      I don’t know what my expectations were for John Berardo’s Initiation, but one thing I do know is that I did not expect the film to be a slasher film reminiscent of Scream 2. This is a college murder mystery. A film where a seemingly idyllic and normal college experience is turned upside down by a series of murders on the campus which leads to an unraveling of dark secrets at the university. It…

Review: Spiral: From the Book of Saw

Review: Spiral: From the Book of Saw

        The Saw franchise is one of the longest running horror movie franchises, spanning eight films over seventeen years. From James Wan’s claustrophobic game-changer through the numerous sequels, the Saw franchise has become synonymous for its extreme gore, unique deaths, and chaotic plots that offer up twists, flashbacks, and tales of morality. Spiral: From the Book of Saw is the ninth entry in the Saw franchise and it is unlike any Saw movie we have seen before. Though there are aspects…

2021 NFL Mock Draft – Movie Edition

Kevflix has always been a website about movies, with the occasional dabble into some TV.  But my first love before getting into writing about movies was sports and it is something I am still very passionate about.  Since I can remember, I’ve always loved sports.  I have my favorites to play and watch, but I don’t discriminate against any sport.  Whether something as popular as basketball or a sport so random it might not even…
