As I state in my review for Marry Me, two romantic comedies are available beginning the weekend before Valentine’s Day. While I moderately like that movie, the better, more realistic and thoroughly entertaining movie is I Want You Back, an unorthodox, but solidly written and directed comedy starring Charlie Day and Jenny Slate. I had… Continue reading I WANT YOU BACK

MARRY ME
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I am not at all surprised that Hollywood has a couple of romantic-comedies planned to open this weekend. Well, good ole lucky me gets to review them both! All snark aside, I actually found something to enjoy from both of these movies. The, first of which is the new… Continue reading MARRY ME
DEATH ON THE NILE
After multiple delays, courtesy of COVID-19, Kenneth Branagh’s sequel to his Murder on the Orient Express adaptation is finally available in theaters. Recently, I finally watched the first installment which, for some reason, I never got around to watching when it was first released five years ago. While I enjoyed the film and found it… Continue reading DEATH ON THE NILE
JACKASS FOREVER
You either like it or you loathe it, but Jackass is what it is. And this new installment is exactly what one would expect from the franchise. That said; I had a great time watching this crazy/stupid rag-tag group of, obviously aged, jackasses doing what they obviously seem to love doing. They love to shock,… Continue reading JACKASS FOREVER
MOONFALL
When it comes to science-fiction disaster, Roland Emmerich definitely comes to mind. I don’t mean his movies are always total disasters, because some of them have been actually entertaining, but the filmmaker is best known for sci-fi movies that involve global disasters that either involve space aliens or natural phenomena threatening our beloved planet. With… Continue reading MOONFALL
SCREAM (2022)
I just recently wrote a review addressing how studios often squeeze and milk movie franchises for more dollars. And on the surface, the idea of releasing another Scream movie would seem to be just that–another attempt at pressing money out of a dedicated fan base that wants more of what entertains and amuses them. Now,… Continue reading SCREAM (2022)
HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA
There are some movie franchises that deliver something great with every installment, and there are those that lose some steam with each entry. Unfortunately, such is the case with the Hotel Transylvania saga. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first two movies, I can honestly say, at this point in my movie-watching experience, that the third… Continue reading HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: TRANSFORMANIA
THE TENDER BAR
Based on the memoir of the same name by J.R. Moehringer, screenwriter William Monahan and director George Clooney deliver a solid effort in their adaptation of this sweet and enjoyable coming-of-age story. While everyone in the cast performs solidly, it is Ben Affleck that genuinely stands out as the protagonist’s uncle and father figure. It… Continue reading THE TENDER BAR
THE 355
Despite the fact that this movie has an impressive cast, the writing of this, nevertheless entertaining movie, suffers from mostly unoriginal writing and espionage thriller cliches. With solid direction and dedicated performances by the cast, The 355 is not a total disaster, and will probably have some fans wanting more. Well, this might not be… Continue reading THE 355
The 355
‘The 355’ Strange title, but as obscure movie titles typically go, its origin is revealed during some not so random moment in the film. Sadly, ‘The 355,’ a gender flipping, mission impossible, flounders in every aspect and misses its mark. Its super-powered, all-star cast promises far more than the film delivers. Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o,… Continue reading The 355
