Yellow Rose: Worth Seeing

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Steve

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

Posted on April 14, 2020 by Steve

One upside the Pandemic has given us was Disney moving this mediocre Pixar movie to Disney+ since movie theaters are shuttered indefinitely. I was glad because I saved money because Alamo isn’t cheap when anything doesn’t deliver. The first warning … Continue reading →

The Invisible Man (2020): Worth Seeing

Posted on March 3, 2020 by Steve

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

Posted on February 19, 2020 by Steve

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!

Posted on January 24, 2020 by Steve

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 →

Ford v. Ferrai: Worth Seeing

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Steve

Hard to believe they made an American movie about auto racing that didn’t stoop to NASSCARR “Dads.” Thusly, I was actually interested in seeing it because Le Mans was the contest, a very historic track in France which isn’t an … Continue reading →

Joker: Worth Seeing

Posted on October 27, 2019 by Steve

I ran out of true Horror movies to review for this October but given how the last couple years have been a shit show under Orange Foolius, I think this interpretation fits the bill. In short, I liked it immensely … Continue reading →

It Chapter Two: Worth Seeing

Posted on October 21, 2019 by Steve

Horror movie number three for October, the conclusion to Stephen King’s rather long It which got updated. If you forgot, the original story took place in the Fifties and concludes in the Eighties. In this take, the first part was in … Continue reading →

Child’s Play (2019): Disappointment

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Steve

Horror movie number two for October and on schedule since Midsommar should’ve been written/posted before or during the weekend. I saw the original Child’s Play on cable while I was home from university (1989). I thought it was OK then because I … Continue reading →

Midsommar: Acquired Taste

Posted on October 6, 2019 by Steve

I can do this for October, review Horror Movies since I managed to see multiple flicks of this genre to highlight one each week, Midsommar is a little late. Holy Crap! This movie was probably the best Horror/Thriller I’ve seen … Continue reading →

Once Upon a Time…: Overrated but Worth Seeing

Posted on September 14, 2019 by Steve

Tarantino returns to the 20th Century with his love letter to the “golden days” of Hollywood as the inevitable Manson murders lurk around in the backdrop. The core story involves aging Western/Action movie star Rick Dalton and his stuntman caretaker … Continue reading →

Booksmart: Worth seeing, actually funny

Posted on August 15, 2019 by Steve

Two quick things about Booksmart, put aside the nonsense plug saying from the people behind the unfunny movies Superbad  or Sausage Party, this is actually good, clever and humorous. The other was how Olivia Wilde is a better director than actress. Admittedly, the … Continue reading →

Spider-Man: Far From Home: Worth Seeing

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Steve

After a huge event movie (Aftermath) bringing 11 years of story to a close, one would think the trivial adventures and personal life of Spider-Man would be a letdown. Not so, Kevin Feige brilliantly found a way to give the … Continue reading →

Toy Story 4: Must See

Posted on July 16, 2019 by Steve

The first nagging question I have had for the last few years with Pixar hasn’t been, “Does this really need a sequel?” It’s, “Which Pixar made this movie?” Will it be the one that knows how to tell a story … Continue reading →

Brightburn: Worth Seeing!

Posted on July 6, 2019 by Steve

An unusual combination of a Superhero origin story that transforms into a Horror movie. Not an easy feat but the people behind it succeed. Be warned, it did get pretty gruesome in how the victims meet their grisly fates. The … Continue reading →

Us: Must See

Posted on June 18, 2019 by Steve

Jordan Peele’s second Horror flick which had its world premiere at SXSW, translation, unless you were an asshole with a SCLM badge, you weren’t allowed to see it until it theaters. SXSW doesn’t concern me anyway, I just regret not … Continue reading →

Hellboy (reboot): Don’t Bother

Posted on June 9, 2019 by Steve

Another reboot stink burger from the morons who thought there was a way resurrect this property after two previous, unimpressive duds from a director who went on to do much better work I loved (Pacific Rim readily comes to mind). I … Continue reading →
