It’s no update to anyone to say that the Western genre of movies has been having a hard go of it for the past thirty years or so. There was a bit of a revival in the 1990’s when both Tombstone and The Unforgiven hit big and created some buzz, but that actually seemed to die off relatively quickly. They didn’t end up creating a … Continue reading Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid Review
To this point in the year, the oldest movie I have seen has been 1958’s The Blob, and I really didn’t think that outing was much of a prize.

I guess that is to be expected; since I have been vaccinated and the weather is turning, the world is opening back up to me. And I have a lot more to do on … Continue reading Classic Movie Review: An American Werewolf In London
Marvel gifted us with a trailer for Shang-Chi this week in what appears to have been a surprise release given the lead actor, Simu Liu’s, frankly adorable reaction on Twitter.
