  • The Thunderbolts* Review

    For certainly films going forward, I will have longer reviews posted separately from the usual weekly posts. That is because there are movies coming up that mean more to me for reasons. That, and the weekly posts can’t be that long. so, with that in mind, here is what I thought about the new MCU…

  • Week of April 28th – A Meh Start to May

    The Back to the Future trilogy is great. I’m not breaking any news there. However, one question has survived in the 35 years since Part III in 1990: When are we getting Part IV. The simple answer is we aren’t getting one, but has that stopped Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis from having to hear…

  • Week of April 21st – Puppets and Numbers

    Before you read this week’s reviews, I would like to get back up in my soapbox for a moment. I have one cardinal rule for watching a movie at the theater. No talking. I’m not talking about whispering a quick note to someone. We all do that. I’m talking about openly talking. I say all…

  • Week of March 24th – A Small Week

    Car issue in the middle of the week sent me up to the country for the rest of the week. Plus side, I spent time with family. Minus side, my original plan for this week was scratched. My only options without driving an hour were Snow White, Alto Knights, A Working Man, or Novocaine. That…

  • Week of March 17th – A Poison Apple?

    This week, Pixar revealed that in 2029 we will be getting Coco 2. My immediate thought was oh no. For some 2017’s Coco is the last truly great Pixar film. I think 2020’s Soul could be part of that conversation, but the point remains. What we have gotten since Coco are Toy Story, Incredibles, and…

  • Week of March 10th – Another Busy Week

    Now that this year’s Academy Awards have taken place, it’s never too early to look ahead to next year. There are some interesting options that could be up for the big prize next year, but here are the ten that I think will be the nominees. I look forward to seeing how wrong I was.…

  • Week of March 3rd – The Long Wait is Over

    Last week, Anora took the big prize at the Academy Awards winning Best Picture. It also made a little history too. In the Festival circuit, there is the Big Three. That would be the Berlin International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival. The top prize at those festivals are among…

  • Week of February 24th – Highs and Lows

    Starting tomorrow, my 10th tournament will begin over on Instagram. This tournament will be the 2nd Annual Box Office Classic. Last year, for the inaugural Classic, I decided who won each matchup. It was fun for me, but between people not agreeing with my choices, and it just being more fun to open it up…

  • Week of February 17th – A Not Too Pleasant Week

    On Thursday this week, some shocking news rolled out. That news was the Brocolli Family have relinquished creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon MGM. I can’t even begin to pretend this is good news. While not all the Bond films were great (looking at you Die Another Day), there was a consistency…

  • Week of February 10th – Monkeys, and Falcons, and Bears. Oh My.

    I’ve been off from reviewing for a few weeks. I had a Florida trip that was taking my attention. That intersected my adventure with COVID, which ended this past week. Now, I’m back on my normal routine, just in time for me to get in Oscars mode. More on that next week. On to the…
