    Ok. After a break, I’m back. I did watch movies this month, but didn’t have a lot of time to write out reviews. My family runs the largest Southern Gospel Music Convention in Michigan each August, so that has taken most of my energy this month. That event was this past weekend, so I’m now…

    This week, I’m doing things a little differently. Due to me having other things going on this weekend, Saturday was the only time to go to the theater. This wouldn’t be a problem usually, but my dumb self decided to use up all of my A-List reservations for the week in one day. So it’s…

    This week, Comic-Con happened in San Diego, and with it, Marvel. I was ready to talk about my thoughts about what they announced here, but the big announcement at the end was too big. So, I will talk about that in a post on Wednesday. Until then, 3 more films to talk about this week.…

    The 4th of July was this week, so before we get to this week’s reviews, a quick power ranking of the cinematic treasure “Independence Day” based on who is most responsible for the planet not being destroyed by aliens. 8. Albert Nimzicki – Secretary of Defense. Dude knew about theses aliens and Area 51, did…

    This week it came out that Columbia Pictures registered the title “28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple.” This will be the follow-up to next June’s “28 Years Later”. That new title does bring up an interesting thing though. Studios seem so afraid to call the first part of a multi-film story “Part 1”.…

    Of course, a few days after I posted that $100 million post here, Inside Out 2 was the first to hit $100 million in its first weekend. It got $155 million to be exact. That is great for Disney, and more importantly, for Pixar. As I type this, it’s second weekend numbers are out, and…

    Sequels can be hard to pull off, especially for originals movies that are liked greatly. For every Shrek 2, there is a Bambi 2. Pixar is not immune to this by any means. Of all their movie series they have created, it seems Toy Story is the only one to continue onward, while adding to…

    Thanks to Evil Does Not Exist expanding out to my area, for the first time since the week of March 18th I have 4 movies talk about this week. Two of the were awful. Which ones are they? On to the reviews! Netflix movies are hit or miss. Sometimes you get a great one (Hit…

  • Week of May 27th – Ending May Strangely

    This week, a documentary on MAX about the failure of MoviePass debuted. It was a really interesting look into how such a flawed idea to start with managed to go down in a blaze of glory because people made things so much worse. The MoviePass basic issue made me think of something that I very…

    Before I get to the reviews this week, a short story on path to actually watch Furiosa on Friday. My original theater with a 6:30 showing was out of power when I got there. So I cancelled my reservation on A-List and tried the Dolby Cinema at another AMC here. The system refused to say…
