The Savvy Film Reviews

After The Hunt Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

After the Hunt is a mixed bag of a movie; it has excellent visuals and a great cast, but it struggles to process its ideas.

Argylle - Film Review Feb 02, 2024

Show notes

Dumb fun. That's the best way to describe this. It's best to not take this too seriously, but Argylle is sure to keep you entertained.

I.S.S. - Film Review Jan 20, 2024

Show notes

It's entertaining enough, but it's an ineffective thriller. It's a big idea with no where to go and no one to guide it. Without a competent and talented cast, lead by Ariana DeBose, I'm don't think this would be good at all.

What A Flop! The Color Purple Box Office Disaster Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

What should have been an easy blockbuster hit has turned into one of the saddest box office cases of 2023. "The Color Purple" made $18.1 Million on its Christmas Day opening, but it's projected to lose between $80 million and $100 million, and to make matters worse the industry isn't taking the "Oscar bait." What happened? Why did a movie with a seal of approval from Stephen Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey tank so quickly? Hopefully, this is a lesson learned for big studios: Stop spending four-quadrant money on one-quadrant movies.

Night Swim - Film Review Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

Not a terrible start to the new year, but not the best. It's an elementary attempt at the horror genre, but it's entertaining enough. We've seen it before, but most of us don't mind seeing it again.

Wonka - Film Review Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

Wonka is the movie no one asked for, but it's the family film we've been begging for. It's pure, family-friendly entertainment, a movie that adults and children can enjoy.

Godzilla Minus One - Film Review Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

I don't know if it's because it's an international film and we (Americans) are considered a foreign market or if Japanese studios think Americans won't enjoy it, but the noise surrounding this movie is too quiet and it's not getting the marketing it deserves. It's excellent! By far, it's the best Godzilla movie I've seen.

The Shift - Film Review Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

While it's a little clumsy and clunky, "The Shift," a motion picture interpretation of the Book of Job, is a great debut for director Brock Heasley

Wish - Film Review Nov 22, 2023

Show notes

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. If the point was to commemorate and celebrate 100 years of Disney, I expected better. The plot is weak, the protagonist is unlikeable and the sidekick goat is obnoxious. Disney is stuck in an identity and culture crisis and I'm praying they find their way out.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - Film Review Nov 22, 2023

Show notes

What an interesting choice to give us a protagonist we already hate, forcing us to question the limits of our capacity for compassion and empathy. The Hunger Games prequel is a bit rushed, but it's expertly cast and beautifully designed.
