One of the movies I most regretted missing at this year’s Fantastic Fest was one of the festival’s secret screenings, which just happened to be the latest film featuring Nicolas Cage. Dream Scenario allows Cage to shine in ways not previously attempted in his previous films. The actor portrays a very modest and unassuming college… Continue reading DREAM SCENARIO Gives Nicolas Cage The Chance To Shine

Sixteen years after Eli Roth contributed his fake trailer to Grindhouse, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s throwback double feature, Thanksgiving, the actual feature-length movie is finally in theaters. The result is an often hilarious but thrilling slasher flick that should please the fans of the fake trailer who have clamored for this movie since 2007.… Continue reading Eli Roth’s THANKSGIVING Has Finally Arrived

Filmmaker Taika Waititi has received a lot of flack after delivering comedic takes on MCU’s Thor (Ragnarok, Love and Thunder). I honestly don’t understand it. I found both movies highly entertaining and loads of fun. Well, Waititi is back with a non-MCU film based on an inspirational sports story involving The American Samoa soccer team.… Continue reading NEXT GOAL WINS Is a Lovable Crowd Pleaser

Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) mentors and develops feelings for the female District 12 tribute during the 10th Hunger Games (IMDB). I have seen all of the Hunger Games films and had no idea what to expect from this film because it is a prequel. I prefer avoiding preconceived notions because I like to take them at face… Continue reading HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES

If you love cinema, this film is for you. While I watched Showdown at the Grand, a smile came up each time I heard a reference to films of the decades gone by. I would have loved to have watched the movie in a theater with other film fans who would have had fun with… Continue reading Showdown at the Grand Now Available on VOD

The Trolls animated franchise has consistently provided family audiences with amiable and amusing musical fun. There is not a lot of depth to these stories, but the colorful animation, the entertaining characters, and the enjoyable musical numbers succeed in what the filmmakers aim for. The same goes for the latest installment in this movie series.… Continue reading TROLLS BAND TOGETHER Delivers More Family Fun

Tyler Perry has been a household name to some people since he staged his first play, “I Know I’ve Been Changed,” in 1992 (and continued staging it later). Other people may only have learned about the writer/actor once he became a filmmaker with his character, Madea, in movies in the early 2000s and subsequent films.… Continue reading Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story Streaming on Prime Video

Directed by K. Asher Levin from a script he co-wrote with Amy Brown Carver, Helen’s Dead is not entirely original as it features a home where a dinner party is being planned, one person is presumed dead within the house, and all the guests are suspects. I looked forward to viewing this film when I… Continue reading Helen’s Dead Now Available On Demand is a Murder Mystery NOT from Agatha Christie

Marvel Studios has been under much scrutiny from fans and critics alike. Perhaps I am lenient with comic book movies, but I usually temper my expectations for these types of movies. I want to have fun when it comes to this brand of cinema. It is always a wonderful surprise when a comic book-inspired film… Continue reading THE MARVELS Doesn’t Save The MCU, But Still Delivers Cinematic Fun
