Week of December 9th – The Merciful End
This week marks the one year mark since I started this venture, and it has been a fun year of learning and growing for me. This next year should be more of the same, but I was given a couple suggestions of things to do, so I will have a couple new kinds of post…

Week of December 2nd – Like it’s 1999
To start this week, a story. On Tuesday, I saw Get Away had a showing in Ann Arbor this past weekend. That’s about 20 miles from where I live, so not that bad. Right before I went to buy a ticket for it at the Cinemark there, i happened to check the AMC app to…

Week of November 25th – Gobble Gobble
By now, we have all seen or heard that AMC puts up signs asking people to refrain from singing while watching Wicked. We all got a laugh out of this, and time rolled on. Now, during Moana 2’s UK premier, Dwyane Johnson had to enter the fray. “You’ve paid your hard-earned money for a ticket,…

Week of November 18th – Defying Expectations
We have finally reached “Glicked” weekend. Last Summer, we all survived through the “Barbenheimer” storm and lived to tell about it. Those two films (Barbie and Oppenheimer if you are just coming out of a coma) ended up grossing $966.1 million dollars domestically, and $2.4 billion worldwide. Justr staggering figures. Since then, and because Hollywood…

Week of November 11th – Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
Finding a host for the Oscars has become quite the quest in recent years. There are reasons for that. For starters, it’s a lose-lose proposition. You could think you are nailing it, but there will always be a vocal minority to shoot you down. Also, even though I’m in the group that always watches, it’s…

Week of November 4th – A Fall Mixed Bag
We are fully in the 11th month now, and before we get into my ramblings of what I saw this week, I wanted to briefly go over something that will more than likely show its face again in a couple weeks. I want take you back to 2021 when Dune was released. People in the…

Week of October 28th – Tricks and Treats
Little bit of shuffling on the schedule for me. I’m still trying to figure out where to place the Chicago reviews without making these post super long. Two of the 10 were last week, and another three are this week. That leaves 5 left to share my thoughts on. As of now, none of them…

Week of October 14th – All Frowning. No Smiling….
Radio Silence’s 2019 film Ready or Not is fun movie. It is darkly hilarious, and was was just gross enough that I could sit through it ( because I’m a wimp). However, what is really seems to be is a complete movie. We meet our characters, the plot happens, then almost everyone is dead at…

Week of October 7th – Live from New York….
With Saturday Night going wide this week, I thought now would be good time for a quick power ranking of SNL movies. 1. Wayne’s World 2. Coneheads 3. Wayne’s World 2 4. Blues Brothers 5. MacGruber 6. Superstar 7. A Nights at the Roxbury 8. The Ladies Man 9. Blues Brothers 2000 10. It’s Pat…

Week of September 30th – Put on a Happy Face…
It’s October, so here is what I have I planned for this month. There are two big things: the Chicago International Film Festival and my Horror Movie Tournament. Timing wise, these two things will happen around the same time, so yay for me making things harder on myself. Before either of those two start in…
