I’ve actually never been high in my life. Never saw the appeal and never really went that way with my choices. I’ve never drank, either, for that matter. And while we are at it, I haven’t had any real amount of caffeine in about twenty years. I’m a blast; invite me to all of your parties! But the point is, stoner comedies don’t particularly jive … Continue reading Pineapple Express 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
Looney Tunes: The Day The Earth Blew Up is listed as a 2024 movie, but it was heavily delayed over on the other side of the Atlantic. It’s hitting United Kingdom and Irish cinemas starting February 13th, 2026. If you are over that way, here is your chance to know what I thought of it! It’s wild that in the 2020’s, there is a new … Continue reading Looney Tunes: The Day The Earth Blew Up Review
It is sometimes very hard to choose a movie to watch. I have so many streaming services and so varied a taste and so many classic films I still haven’t seen. I often think something along the lines of “Okay, it’s time to watch a movie”, but it will be forty minutes later before I choose anything. I open Prime, for example, and I scroll … Continue reading Code 3 Review
Today’s movie offering comes via Amazon Prime, and it stars two of Hollywood’s current hottest gets, Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. I am looking at The Wrecking Crew. The Wrecking Crew is a new direct-to-streaming action-comedy that follows in the buddy cop vein of flicks where two heroic characters are paired together to take down shady ne’er-do-wells. It walks the well-tread path of movies such … Continue reading The Wrecking Crew Review
Yes, Wicked, the Broadway smash hit that has productions around the world and is always touring, all to packed audiences, has finally flown onto the big screen (pun intended). The script, music, lyrics, visuals, choreography, and performances immediately immerse you and sweep you up for a magical ride through Oz that will make you wonder how two hours and 40 minutes can pass so quickly. Wicked (2024) demonstrates … Continue reading Wicked: A Thrillifying Ride Defying All Expectations
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie holds an important place in Looney Tunes history in multiple ways. It’s the first-ever theatrical, fully animated, feature-length Looney Tunes film (Past theatrical outings have been shorts, animation-live action hybrids, or feature-length compilations of (mostly) existing shorts). It’s a rare 2D-animated film, which is especially rare in theaters. In a very Looney Tunes twist, it’s also an underdog that persevered through anvil after … Continue reading Looney Tunes: The Day The Earth Blew Up Review
As of this writing, it’s January 12th, and I’ve already watched my second foreign language film of the year! I wonder how long it took me to watch a non-English movie in 2025? (Actually, the answer to that depends on whether Flow counts or not. It’s a foreign made picture, sure, but it has no language to speak of) Anyway, today’s movie comes to you … Continue reading No Other Choice Review
It’s wild to me that K-Pop Demon Hunters is still in Netflix’s Top Ten movies daily all of these months later (as of this writing). No one saw that flick coming, man. What a phenomenon. Anyway, I still check every few days to see what is worth watching on the streaming giant, and Rumi, Mira, and Zoey are assuredly still on the list staring back … Continue reading Stone Cold Fox Review
Bust out your fanciest formalwear because today’s movie review is a Dutch offering that was in consideration for Best International Feature for the 2026 Academy Awards! Unfortunately, Reedland was not chosen as a finalist for that category at the 98th edition of the Oscars, but just to be in the picture and chosen as your country’s offering is great recognition. So let’s talk about a … Continue reading Reedland Review
It’s time for another review of a screener movie I was sent! Today’s film comes to us from the writer/director Kris McMenamin, and it is called Misfits. It’s your run-of-the-mill Christmas/Wrestling/Family Drama/Coming Of Age story about a group of lifelong friends who lose each other in their early 20’s / late teens, but end up all coming back together when one of them needs them … Continue reading Misfits (2025) Review
I’ve recently watched Full Metal Jacket for the first time, and I’m really struggling trying not to tell people I watched Full Metal Alchemist. I’m not even a huge FMA fan, though I kind of want to be and I own the first several volumes of the manga, but my comic and anime soaked brain somehow has decided that latter series is the pre-eminent “Full … Continue reading Full Metal Jacket Review
For being a child of the 80’s, I am super late to the Die Hard game. A lot of people point to Die Hard as something they put on their calendar for scheduled rewatches. There is, after all, that tedious Christmas movie debate. But for me, it was always one of those “Did I see Die Hard as a kid or not?” movies that I … Continue reading Die Hard With A Vengeance Review
Roofman was a movie that came out recently, and it was one that I had wanted very much to see in theaters. But I never got around to finding the time to do so; it came and left the cinema pretty quickly without leaving too much sign of its existence. Luckily, it was a short-lived break between its theatrical window and its streaming one, as … Continue reading Roofman Review
I feel like it’s been a while since I did a truly OLD movie in these Blast From The Past reviews. And by “truly old” I definitely mean “from at least before I was born”. And hey: I’m truly old as it is, so that just works out as an easy way to measure these things. You know, now that I think of it… you … Continue reading The Time Machine (1960) Review
