Some audiences may find this film to be too mannered and deliberate, but I enjoyed watching Christoph Waltz’s character spin the webs that will eventually ensnare him.

Welcome back to Cinemavino! This is episode 2 in our limited series revisiting movies we found to be over or underrated. In this case, we venture back to Dark City, a cult classic that has kinda slipped under the radar. Many prominent critics, including Roger Ebert, placed in their '10 Best' lists--some…
Good artists borrow; great artists steal.
Pablo Picasso, maybe.
In Those Who Wish Me Dead, writer-director Taylor Sheridan nicks so many ingredients from so many movies that it's kinda tricky to keep track of 'em all. Gather 'round, gang--let me see if I can suss out the recipe: We'll start with the protagonist, who should…
This episode of Cinemavino kicks off a limited series, in which we take a new look at old movies. To qualify, a film must be a stink-bomb that got good reviews, or a great movie that got dumped on. Oddly enough, Waterworld falls somewhere in between those goalposts. Most critics kicked its…

Welcome to another fine episode of Cinemavino! Now that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is in the rearview, we're gonna go back to one of our favorites: For this week's episode, we take random street-level (read: no superpowers) heroes and match them up for an imaginary brawl. Geeky discussion follows. As always, our podcast features dirty-bird words, so…
I got bored with this one, just like I used to with the upright version, back at O.J.’s Hamburgers & Arcade. Real Kombat fans may love it, but skeptics should steer clear.
Again--spoilers abound! Proceed with caution!
For this week's episode of Cinemavino, we discuss the finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. We also touch on a few future Marvel projects. As always, our podcast has a few no-no words. Listener discretion is advised. Go check out the episode on Disney+, and…
Vanquish looks like it was funded with somebody’s allowance money. And if that were the case, if a bunch of plucky ragamuffins actually cobbled their lunch money to make this movie, I’d slap two more stars on this review. Alas, nope.
