Welcome back to Entertainment Rex, your twice monthly article series where I let you know what fun is out there to be had. Twice monthly is a good schedule. It’s my favorite way to schedule. Podcasts? Twice a month. Entertainment Rex? Twice a month? Stew’s Reviews? Twice a month! Everything is two times per month. It’s very symmetrical that way. I don’t really have an … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: May 2021
The worst that one could say of The AristoCats is that it is unmemorable. It’s smoothly executed, of course, and enjoyable, but neither its superficial story nor its characters have any resonance.-Leonard Maltin THE ARISTOCATS (1970): Written by: Tom McGowan & Tom Rowe (Original Book), Larry Clemmons, Eric Cleworth, Vance Garry, Julius Svendsen, Frank Thomas & Ralph Wright BLEH. A movie all about jazz music (one … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Winnie The Pooh & The Aristocats
It’s May 5th as I write this, and I have only watched ONE movie for the month of May so far. What the hell? I’m really falling off of my pace. 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
Welcome to the end of April! I hope you guys are ready for all of those May flowers! For more from April, click HERE. That’s actually not fair. It hasn’t rained much here at all. Due to our sewage issues, we recently had a chunk of our back yard dug up. We put down some grass seed, but I’ve been having to water it pretty … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: April 2021 part 2
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. It’s admittedly a pretty rad trailer. I had not been too stoked for a Shang Chi movie for a few reasons. First of all, he’s a character I have barely any comics experience with. Secondly, … Continue reading Classic Review: The Big Sick
This month’s draft was… NOT my forte. But I gave it the old college try anyway! When I got together with this month’s guests–Pint O Comics, So Wizard, and Flicks X-Rayed–to discuss our next draft, we ultimately settled on Best Movie Soundtracks. Music remains not really my best genre. But I do like movies, and I know which ones kind of make me bop along, … Continue reading SWO Draft: Best Movie Soundtracks!
What happens when two movies love each other very much? Well, when the movie’s father is John Wick (with all of its carefully crafted backstory universe doled out through the story of a pet loving family man who wants to leave his past behind), and its mother is the tragically forgotten Clive Owen vehicle Shoot ‘Em Up (bringing its absurdist parody send-up of the action … Continue reading NOBODY Review
Vulture: “The kid’s clear, you can let go now.”Baloo: “Are you kidding?! There’s TEETH on the other end!” THE JUNGLE BOOK (1967): Written by: Rudyard Kipling (original), Larry Clemmons, Ralph Wright, Ken Anderson, Vance Gerry, Bill Peet The Jungle Book was the first film released after Walt’s death, though he had a big hand in the production of the feature. This one feels a bit funny, because it’s almost … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Jungle Book
There is 100% something to be said for a movie that tells you right in the title exactly what it is going to do. Freddy Vs Jason, for instance! It’s not a great movie by any stretch, but it delivers on everything it promises. What more could you ask for? It literally has multiple extended sequences of Freddy Kreuger dueling with Jason Voorhees. There is … Continue reading Godzilla vs Kong Review
THE SWORD IN THE STONE (1963): Written by: T.H. White (original story), Bill Peet This is arguably one of the most forgotten Disney Animated Canon films, at least among those that were entirely one story and not collections of shorts. I remember it vaguely as a kid, because I saw something where an old wizard was shapechanging into animals along with a young kid. this seemed … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Sword in the Stone
I had given up on Terminator flicks a long time ago. The last Terminator movie I saw was the third entry in the series. I never bothered with Salvation or Genisys because they both looked pretty terrible, and it seemed as though the franchise was just churning out properties to cash in on a nostalgia market. The magic of the original and its first sequel … Continue reading Movie Review: Terminator Dark Fate
ONE-HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS (1961): Written by: Dodie Smith (novel), Bill Peet (solo) This one’s one of the most well-remembered “Middle Period” Disney movies (and the first to be set in the modern day, actually!), owing primarily to its singularly-memorable villain; one so legendary that she’s become completely iconic. Cruella de Vil is probably in the Top Five most-remembered Disney Villains these days, which is saying … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: 101 Dalmations
It’s draft time yet again, where the SWO partners with some other fantastic independent talent to see who can make the subjectively best list of a random pop culture topic! This week, I pulled in our friends Liz from the Nerdy Bitches podcast, Ken from the Ocho Duro Parley Hour, and Marquee Mark from So Wizard podcast. We spitballed some idea before finally settling on … Continue reading Draft: Best Comedies Post-2000
Hey, it’s Snyder Month! Regardless of how you or I feel about the upcoming Snyder Cut, it’s well on its way, and it will be hitting HBO Max on 3/18/21. And there has been a segment of fans who have been rabidly awaiting this moment in pop culture history. Between those fans and the morbid curiosity of others who want to see what the big … Continue reading Top Ten: DC Comics Films
February sure is a short month. It feels like I just did part one of this. Nevertheless, we are moving full-bore into MARCH, the month that has something to do with lions and lambs; I could never keep it straight. Does it come in like a lion (fierce) and out like a lamb (soft?), or does it come in like a lamb (white and fluffy) … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: February Part 2
