House of Emmerich - 186 - Universal Soldier
28 JUN 2024 · “Universal Soldier” excels as an action-packed sci-fi film with a unique premise and memorable set pieces, but it falters in narrative cohesion and character development. Van Damme and Lundgren fans, or those with a penchant for ’90s action flicks, will likely find much to enjoy. For others, the film may feel like a relic of its time, offering more spectacle than substance. -
House of Emmerich - 185 - Moon 44
20 JUN 2024 · *This movie deals with sexual assault.* “Moon-44” is an ambitious film that reaches for the stars but ends up getting lost in a black hole of its own making.

If you’re looking for a film to watch, this one might just make you want to leave the planet. -
House of Lee - 184 - Da Five Bloods
13 JUN 2024 · “Da 5 Bloods” is a film with noble intentions and some truly powerful moments, but it doesn’t always hit the mark.
