  • Mallards Introduction

    Hello, and welcome to Mallards Movies – we’re glad you’re here. Mallards Movies began with two guys who loved to watch movies, write, and make jokes about them. If you’re here, there’s a good chance you enjoy those things as well.  The format of the blog is simple: At the beginning of each month, eight… Read more

  • May 2026: Week 4 – Ride Along 2 (2016) Barbie: A Fashion Farytale (2010)

    For the fourth week of May, I got stuck with Ride Along 2 (2016). This is a movie I had no expectations for. In the draft, Maxwell said that he refuses to watch anything with Kevin Hart in it (which I mostly agree with, I would not go out of my way to watch a… Read more

  • May 2026: Week 3 – The Hustle (2019) In Time (2011)

    This week’s pick was a doozy, and that’s putting it lightly. I chose The Hustle (2019) for three reasons: I had never heard of this movie, I enjoy Anne Hathaway (usually) and Rebel Wilson (usually). I put “usually” in quotation marks, because this was not one of those times. I absolutely hated this movie. It… Read more

  • May 2026 – Week 2: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Love & Friendship (2016)

    For the second week of May, I selected Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). I will start this review off by saying I am not a superhero movie fan; I have seen maybe five or so movies out of the entire MCU Franchise, and unless more pop up on the draft for this blog, I will… Read more

  • May 2026: Week 1 – The French Connection (1971) The Land Before Time (1988)

    I lucked out for the first week of May by not only picking a movie I had seen previously, but also getting a beloved classic, 1971’s The French Connection. This movie was a resounding success, with a budget of $1.8 million and a worldwide gross of over $50 million, not to mention eight Oscar nominations,… Read more

  • April 2026: Week 4 – Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Ghostbusters (2016)

    For the last week of April’s movies, I was “stuck” with Meg 2: The Trench (2023). This is a movie I normally would not choose to watch for a movie night, as I am not typically into Hollywood Action Flicks. I went into this one with no expectations whatsoever. And to be entirely honest, I… Read more

  • April 2026: Week 3 – Captivity (2007) Robocop 3 (1993)

    Pointlessly grotesque.  -0 mallards/5 -Seann In keeping with the tradition of not watching prequels if assigned a sequel, I did not refresh my memory on the lore of Robocop. I did not re-watch Robocop (1987), nor did I watch for the first time Robocop 2 (1990). Luckily, I don’t think anything was lost from my… Read more

  • April 2026: Week 2 – Rob Peace (2024) Scarface (1932)

    My movie for this week is one I had never heard of before, Rob Peace (2024). I had no expectations when sitting down to watch it, all I knew was the one sentence blurb from IMDB explaining it as a drama about a son and a father who is convicted of a crime he may… Read more

  • April 2026: Week 1 – The Running Man (1987) The Guard (2011)

    For the first week of April, I selected The Running Man (1987) as my movie. This is a movie I had seen with my dad countless times as a kid, he adored cheesy action packed films like this. I remember we owned it both on blu-ray and DVD, and I’m sure he even had it… Read more
