Everything Everywhere All At Once Review

It has been a long time since I was as excited to see a movie–a NON-comic-book-movie, I should clarify–as I was to see Everything Everywhere All At Once. And honestly? I really shouldn’t have been, based just upon history. EEAAO was released by A24, and that is a studio I’ve been all over the map on with my feelings, but the only thing I’ve truly … Continue reading Everything Everywhere All At Once Review

Top Ten: Academy Award Best Picture Winners

There’s no level of talking down enough that I can do to lower your expectations far enough that when you see my list, you will think, “Well, it’s not THAT bad”. It’s going to be very, very bad. There’s no disagreement. We are in this together! Here is where I have to be honest with you: I am neither a liar nor a panderer. When … Continue reading Top Ten: Academy Award Best Picture Winners

Jeremy’s Recent Movie Reviews

YES GOD YES When I first started watching Karen Marie’s “Yes God Yes”, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. A friend on Twitter (@filmgal) had recommended it, and she and I seem to have pretty similar tastes in cinema. Well, I have to say, I was not let down! Yes God Yes is a fantastic examination of the Catholic Church and some of the … Continue reading Jeremy’s Recent Movie Reviews

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Mulan (animated)

MULAN (1998): Written by: Robert D. San Souci, Rita Hsiao, Chris Sanders, Philip LaZebnik, Rymond Singer, Eugenia Bostwick Singer, Dean DeBlois, John Sanford, Tim Hodge, Burny Mattinson, Barry Johnson, Ed Gombert & Chris Williams Mulan is one of the last movies of the Disney Renaissance, and is rather more popular than many of the “Late Renaissance” movies- it’s definitely done better and been considered better than Hunchback, Pocahontas and Hercules, in … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Mulan (animated)

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Hercules

HERCULES (1997) Written by: Ron Clements, John Musker & Barry Johnson Ahhhhh HERCULES. This one’s a funny one for me, because at the time I HATED IT, largely due to the bastardization of Greek Mythology (it’s easier to define what they got RIGHT than what they got WRONG, and basically it’s that Hercules was the son of Zeus, killed some of the same monsters, hooked up with … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Hercules

Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

1 THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1996): Written by: Victor Hugo (original novel), Tab Murphy, Irene Mecchi, Bob Tzudiker, Noni White, Jonathan Roberts This one’s a bit funny, because it was kind of forgotten as a disappointment when it first came out, and Disney isn’t really crazy about it. Coming on the heels of the crappy Pocahontas didn’t help, as people were already “WELP THAT’S THE END OF … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Jab’s Disney Reviews: An Extremely Goofy Movie

AN EXTREMELY GOOFY MOVIE (2000): Written by: Scott Gorden This movie’s an odd fit- it’s basically a sequel to A Goofy Movie, and uses the same general “Father & Son Have An Argument Then An Understanding” plotline, but involves the then-trendy X-Games as an overall theme, ISN’T a musical, and it’s missing one of the major characters of the first film. Max, P.J. & Bobby (playing a … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: An Extremely Goofy Movie

Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms

JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS: Behold, the embodiment of the entire 1980s. The Transformers is the mightiest toy-selling cartoon of all time, and G.I. Joe is probably the best overall, but Jem will always have my heart. See, where alot of these shows come from the epitome of animation that was the ’80s, very few of them actually LOOK “’80s”. Sure, there’s Ghetto Blasters (better known as Boom-Boxes these days…. or … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms
