HUMMEL Review: Snake Eyes – GI Joe Origins
I don’t care about the GI Joe brand. I wasn’t an ‘80s kid and therefore I have no nostalgia for it as an entertainment franchise. I’d previously tried watching the first of the two big blockbuster GI Joe films and I didn’t get halfway through it without getting immensely bored. My only interest in thisContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Snake Eyes – GI Joe Origins”
HUMMEL Review: Pig (2021)
I was not expecting a Nic Cage movie to be among this year’s best movies but nowadays I don’t expect a lot of things from film. Post 2019, it’s very hard to depend on Hollywood to deliver much very promptly. Regardless, it was inevitable that we’d get another one of Nic Cage’s WEIRD movies. He’sContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Pig (2021)”
HUMMEL Review: Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain
If classic cinema teaches us anything it’s that the lives of enigmatic people can’t easily be summed up simply or easily. This is specifically true in the case of people who die enigmatic deaths. Charles Foster Kane has his rosebud but the truth and meaning of that secret died with him. I suspect the sameContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain”
HUMMEL Review: Tom and Jerry (2021)
I genuinely thought we were past this phase of cinema… I really wish we were and yet this film just got plopped down in front of us like we haven’t already gone through a dozen variations on his horror show… The “CGI animal hanging out with real actors” genre has never been cool. It wasn’tContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Tom and Jerry (2021)”
HUMMEL Review: Nobody (2021)
I’ve wondered for a while now which of the two John Wick directors would go on to have a more productive career: Chad Stahelsku or David Leitch. Both men collaborated on the first John Wick film after a long career working as stunt coordinators on dozens of blockbusters including The Crow, The Matrix, 300, CaptainContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Nobody (2021)”
HUMMEL Review: Tread (2020)
It’s hard not to watch a documentary like Tread and consider the socio-political connotations that the movie is perpetuating. Of course, that’s the case with a real life tragedy like that which beset the small Colorado town in the infamous “Killdozer” incident in 2004. The spectacle was caused by a rampage by a local aggrievedContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Tread (2020)”
