M3GAN: Worth Seeing…no joke
One of the best things they did to make M3GAN stand out from Child’s Play was re-edit it into a PG-13 movie because it isn’t a Horror movie, it’s an updated warning about tech and the usual bogeyman, Artificial Intelligence exceeding our … Continue reading
Glass Onion: Must See
Benoit Blanc is back! This time the mystery to solve is trickier than before since, as per the title, the solution is right there where all can see it but who the culprit is hides behind all the layers planted … Continue reading
Black Adam: Don’t even bother
Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? If it’s an anti-hero superhero movie for the struggling DC Universe? Then it’s a steaming turd burger covered in cliché sauce and too much exposition! Johnson wants to be the next Ahnold … Continue reading

Bob’s Burgers the Movie: Must See!
I’m putting this movie ahead of my stalled queue entailing all the crap I’m behind on, it’s a short list since Covid and money kept me from hitting Alamo very much in 2021. Bob’s Burgers the Movie will probably be … Continue reading
Jungle Cruise: If there’s nothing better on
You’re free to see this painfully mediocre fare on Disney+ nowadays. We went during my last birthday weekend (2021) and it was my inaugural experience with Alamo Drafthouse’s family friendlier (but to me bro’ friendlier) rival Flix Brewhouse in Round Rock. Much … Continue reading
Seeing Red: Must See
Rather bummed that Disney didn’t have the confidence to release this semi-original idea in theaters exclusively as they do with the MCU stuff. It was stronger than Luca (the Little Italian Mermaid) and about on par with Inside/Out or Soul, the last two near-perfect movies … Continue reading
Black Widow: Worth Seeing (MCU Recap 2)
I wanted to see this movie not to just be an MCU completist (I’ve only missed one MCU movie in a theater) but as a show of support to Scarlett. The actress was a trooper in a male-dominated genre and … Continue reading

The Sparks Brothers: Must See*
* – If you love music in any capacity, you better see this. Otherwise, the rest of the world can wait until streaming services carry it. Despite this documentary being a huge love letter to one of greatest duos in … Continue reading

Happy 81st Birthday Bugs Bunny
After I saw how horrendous this movie probably is, thank you Honest Trailers for saying what we are all thinking, I do owe it to Bugs Bunny to watch. I actually went to the first Space Jam on opening night 25 … Continue reading
Luca: Streaming at best
Maybe Pixar is stuck in a pattern of great movie followed by mediocre movie, repeat. Currently, it would go: Coco, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Onward, Soul and Luca. If I chose to go back farther, my hypothesis would have more interruptions of … Continue reading
Yellow Rose: Worth Seeing
Alamo Drafthouse is back…sort of. They have social distancing protocols in place which lets you enjoy what makes them special yet it was rather weird, and a bummer. Jennifer really wanted to see this movie while I wanted to get … Continue reading
Onward: Streaming at best
One upside the Pandemic has given us, Disney moving this mediocre Pixar movie to Disney+ since movie theaters are shuttered indefinitely. I was glad because I saved money, Alamo isn’t cheap when anything doesn’t deliver. The first warning sign I … Continue reading
The Invisible Man (2020): Worth Seeing
Another reason why I’m glad Universal’s Dark Universe (aka, “re-imagining” their monster properties) crashed harder than Windows CE. Their 1999 take on The Mummy was still good. It didn’t need Tom Cruise repeating his Mission: Impossible crap and then meeting Mr. Hyde to set … Continue reading
Knives Out: Must See
If this is Daniel Craig’s post-Bond career move, I am looking forward to the next installment by Writer-Director Rian Johnson. Benoit Blanc is part Foghorn Leghorn, part Clouseau encased in the dedication of Poirot. The short version of Knives is what … Continue reading
The Rise of Skywalker: Must see!
We’re finally out of Spoilers territory so I can blather my two cents. I also caught Rise at Alamo Drafthouse three times to make sure how I felt about it. First time during the special Thursday night screenings (due to my … Continue reading
