The Matchmaker 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster Online

Tarek works as a computer scientist in an office. Due to the many overtime hours, his relationship with his wife has cooled. When a handsome intern starts and develops feelings for her, he decides to enroll in a resort where they will secretly bond, or so they promise. But once there, mysterious things begin to happen.


Several Aussies lent their not inconsiderable talents to The Matchmaker, but you wonder if it was worth it. This rather unbelievable romantic comedy stars Janeane Garofalo as Marcy Tizard, an assistant to a vapid American politician, Jay .O. Sanders, who is running for re-election and who needs the Irish vote in his Massachusetts constituency. So he sends Marcy, without any hotel reservations by the way, to the Irish town of Ballinagra, where his family apparently hails from.

Director: Abdulmohsen Aldhabaan
Stars: Husam Al Harthi, Reem Al Habib, Nour Alkhadra

 It is a miracle that Marcy finds lodgings, for Ballinagra is in the middle of a matchmaking festival, but she stays behind and begins a fruitless search for her chief ancestors, all the while finding herself, as an eligible single woman, a desirable addition to the matchmaking. festivities... With names like Mark Joffe directing and Louis Nowra co-writing, she expected a lot more from The Matchmaker. Aside from the plot's many improbabilities, this is a remarkably bland romantic comedy, filled with the most stereotypical Irish "characters" seen on screen since The Quiet Man, and what was charming and funny in 1953 doesn't seem so charming today. I couldn't figure out what the hell Marcy sees in Sean or why Milo OShea is overreacting as much as Dermot, the main matchmaker. Thank goodness for Ellery Ryan's beautiful panoramic photography.

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

 If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie." Director: Jared Hess Writers: Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener Stars: Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers For the uninitiated, Microsoft-owned "Minecraft" is a sandbox game that immerses players in the Overworld, a whimsical dimension made up of blocky, box-like voxels. There's no single story or single way to play: users can craft items, build structures, ba...

Straw 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The prolific creator's latest film is a typically melodramatic, yet powerful and relevant, depiction of the systemic miseries that drive a hapless heroine into a police standoff. Even die-hard fans of the tireless Tyler Perry sometimes wish he'd slow down a bit and focus on quality over quantity. But Netflix's "Straw" possesses a cultural urgency that elevates it above its usual repertoire of melodramatic comedies and dramas, despite its flaws. Starring Taraji P. Henson as a single mother burdened with more crises than one woman can handle in one day—resulting in a "Dog Day Afternoon"-style hostage situation—"Straw" exhibits the usual flaws of its writer-director-producer. Director: Tyler Perry Writer: Tyler Perry Stars: Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor It's overloaded with plot devices, histrionics, and in-your-face messages, with an overabundance of everything. Yet what breaks the camel's back for this subdued heroine ...
