It’s been a rough year so far with catching new release movies for me. After having seen a personal best 117 new release movies in 2025, as of early March, I was only up to nine here in 2026. I’ve seen loads of late-2025 flicks, sure! But precious few films that have come out this calendar year. It hasn’t been for a lack of trying; … Continue reading The Bluff 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. I’m not nearly as anti-remake as a lot of folks are; I recognize that across Hollywood’s history, there have been several great remade movies. And some have even surpassed the originals! But for this instance, I was following my … Continue reading The Blob (1958) Review
Honey Bunch is a relatively new outing featured on Shudder that I had kept passing over for several days due to reasons I will get into in the Ups and Downs. It just kind of sat there on the New Releases screen if I scrolled enough to the right on the AMC+ home page. And I’d look at it, and I’d hem and haw, and … Continue reading Honey Bunch Review
Filmhub has announced the official US digital release of Jeremy Schuetze’s found footage feature Anacoreta. Following a festival run and debut in Canada, Anacoreta debuts on digital platforms February 24 in the US. Anacoreta screened at the Heartland International Film Festival, where it won Best Horror, and the Manchester Film Festival, where the team took home Best International Feature. Found Footage Movies remain a pretty … Continue reading Anacoreta 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
I’m always a little hesitant to write reviews for supposedly classic movies that I ultimately did not end up liking on a first watch. I’m reminded of a few months ago when I finally saw The Goonies. Now did I hate, or even actively dislike, The Goonies? No. But I thought it was entirely pedestrian, really. Like a definitive 5 / 10 for me. It … Continue reading Caddyshack Review
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
