‘Zootopia 2’ Lays on the Drama

Zootopia is a family-friendly film, even though it deals with heavy subjects like prejudice, bullying, bias, and the like. For the most part, the movie doesn’t come across as overtly dramatic, at least not in a super dark way. However, most people are probably unaware of the film’s original script.

The Blob (1958) Review

I had a choice to make recently between watching the 1958 The Blob or the 1988 remake thereof. Obviously I ended up going with the original.

Good Will Hunting Review

I’m sure you’ll pardon me if I say I’m going through something of a Robin Williams moment these days. It wasn’t that long ago that I watched and reviewed Good Morning Vietnam. And since then, the hits have just kept coming. I’ve watched the HBO documentary Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, which is a two hour look at the actor and comedian’s life all … Continue reading Good Will Hunting Review

Welcome to the single most requested classic movie review I’ve had lobbed at me. Considering my sub-series on pre-COVID era movies is known as my Blast From The Past reviews, it’s not wholly unusual that I’ve had several folks comment something along the lines of “You should review the movie Blast From The Past!” or “I thought you were reviewing the actual movie Blast From … Continue reading Blast From The Past Review
