Reviews

Movies TV Shows
Friends: The Reunion (2021) 67% 7/10 EDIT “This reunion show left me with a feeling of utter contentment that I got to be a part of this cultural moment when I was younger. The format of the show does suffer some bumpy moments as it loses focus of the core cast...” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Xtreme (2021) 8/10 EDIT “An all-out action flick that refuses to hold its punches. I would recommend [Xtreme] in a heartbeat as a great weekend movie sure to entertain.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Luca (2021) 91% 7/10 EDIT “Luca will be utterly endearing for kids but may be a bit hit and miss for everyone else. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Fatherhood (2021) 67% 8.5/10 EDIT “This is the perfect film for Father’s Day, but beware of its emotional impact.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review LFG (2021) 94% 8.5/10 EDIT “LFG is a compelling documentary, and whether you’re a football/soccer fan or not, I urge you to watch this. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review The Ice Road (2021) 43% 5/10 EDIT “The Ice Road all the right variables for an interesting film, layered with tension and suspense which is only aided by the casting...Ultimately though, the film’s dialogue is very poor, the performances aren’t great...It’s safe to skip this one.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021) 84% 9/10 EDIT “Fear Street Part 1 encapsulates what made 90s thriller movies so popular.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Vacation Friends (2021) 58% 7.5/10 EDIT “Vacation Friends is meant to be a far-out, ridiculous, and foolish film that never takes itself too seriously. The 100-minute run time is a great length, and the film is carried by the comedic chops of Cena and Howery.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Sweet Girl (2021) 24% 7/10 EDIT “I have to say while [Sweet Girl] had its faults I actually enjoyed it. It’s nothing stellar by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a decent popcorn flick. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Blood Red Sky (2021) 81% 6.5/10 EDIT “Blood Red Sky is itself a fantastic premise that starts off really well but sadly hits too many obstacles along the way to make a great story.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Je suis Karl (2021) 17% 3/10 EDIT “Je Suis Karl was not the movie I saw advertised. It’s so far out of balance, and its message is particularly muddled.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review 8-Bit Christmas (2021) 84% 8.5/10 EDIT “Watching 8-Bit Christmas is well worth your time. Packed full of comedy, and nostalgia, it’s got so much going for it. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021) 75% 7.5/10 EDIT “Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a great family fun movie that, with roughly an hour-long run time, results in an easy watch.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review A Boy Called Christmas (2021) 83% 8.5/10 EDIT “ A Boy Called Christmas was a surprising hit for me, and I urge you and your families to put this film at the top of your must-watch list. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Zone 414 - City of Robots (2021) 17% 4/10 EDIT “It’s hard to watch Zone 414 without being reminded that are so many other better options for dystopian sci-fi films that create far more depth and engaging stories.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 5, 2023 Full Review The Colony (2021) 54% 6.5/10 EDIT “The Colony promised to be a fascinating concept, but the plot left a lot to be desired...” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Brazen (2022) 14% 4/10 EDIT “Brazen is a poor attempt at a romantic crime thriller, that gets neither aspect right and stumbles at every step. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 5, 2023 Full Review How I Fell in Love With a Gangster (2022) 60% 7/10 EDIT “How I Fell in Love With a Gangster has the core of a really solid film, but its lack of selective editing results in a somewhat arduous three-hour watch. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 5, 2023 Full Review The Tinder Swindler (2022) 97% 9/10 EDIT “The Tinder Swindler is an unbelievable true crime documentary. I guarantee after watching this you will be straight on Instagram and checking articles because this story defies logic, I was flabbergasted.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Surviving Paradise: A Family Tale (2022) 9/10 EDIT “Surviving Paradise: A Family Tale is a compelling documentary film that observes a year in the life of the animal residents of the Okavango Delta in the Kalahari desert.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 4, 2023 Full Review The Invisible Thread (2022) 6.5/10 EDIT “I really did enjoy The Invisible Thread. While the film is slightly unbalanced from the pedigree of acting performances, and it’s pacing, there’s a lot here to enjoy. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 4, 2023 Full Review The Adam Project (2022) 68% 8/10 EDIT “The Adam Project will undoubtedly be a big hit for Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, and Netflix. The film goes beyond its sci-fi time travel tropes and delivers some wonderful character-rich performances.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 4, 2023 Full Review The Bombardment (2021) 100% 7/10 EDIT “While The Bombardment struggles to figure how to lay the foundation for the larger narrative of the film...this terrible tragedy is not for the faint of heart, but the story deserves to be told, and the impact of the lives lost should never be forgotten.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Rescued by Ruby (2022) 88% 7.5/10 EDIT “Rescued by Ruby is a great dog film that the whole family can sit down and enjoy together. Grant Gustin is beyond charming, and you can’t help but want to root for him and Ruby to succeed.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Windfall (2022) 59% 9/10 EDIT “Windfall embodies a classic noir suspense story, fraught with some incredible character performances from Jesse Plemons, Lily Collins, and Jason Segel” – But Why Tho?
