Captain Marvel (Marvel): Worth Seeing

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Steve

MCU gambles on an obscure character again but doubles down on setting the story in the recent past, probably to match the soundtrack filled with overplayed crap better. Cynical jab aside, Marvel succeeded again in making an excellent film centered around a … Continue reading →

LEGO 2: Must See (Great Sequel too)

Posted on April 7, 2019 by Steve

The long-awaited sequel to The LEGO Movie finally arrived, we saw it on the opening weekend and it sadly tanked. It’s not why my review is way, way overdue…it’s playing at the discount theater and I think you buy LEGO 2 on … Continue reading →

The Kid Who Would Be King: Streaming at best

Posted on March 16, 2019 by Steve

This Super Bowl Sunday the choices for seeing a movie on the best day of the year to go were terrible if there was going to be something Somara and I could agree on. Glass was out because she’s not a … Continue reading →

The Favorite: Must See

Posted on March 5, 2019 by Steve

The whole bru-ha-ha and self-congratulating of the Oscars® are over but never the usual finger pointing via identity politics in which the biggest question of “is this movie any good?” gets skipped since it lacked [insert in the blank]. The … Continue reading →

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Streaming

Posted on February 26, 2019 by Steve

Another movie that didn’t really need a sequel yet it turned out decently but it wasn’t necessarily with all the expense of going to a movie theater. My short version of Ralph 2. Initially I wasn’t remotely interested because the … Continue reading →

Aquaman: Worth Seeing*

Posted on January 8, 2019 by Steve

I initiate Aquaman with an asterisk because it’s good but it just isn’t terribly original while succeeding in making one of DC’s least interesting superheroes watchable, today, in a few years I doubt it. Sure, the character started becoming more appealing when … Continue reading →

Vice: Worth Seeing

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Steve

Hard to believe that McKay could make a Dark Comedy about war criminal Dick Cheney but he succeeds in making his point, this horrible man was the main architect behind America’s problems abroad and at home. I’ll explain more of … Continue reading →

Bohemian Rhapsody: Worth Seeing

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Steve

After some delays, a sanitized version of Queen’s story has finally hit the big screen with the blessing of Brian May and Roger Taylor, the only two remaining members who tour. Even though he retired in the late Nineties, I’m … Continue reading →

Joe Bob Briggs III for Dead Heat

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Steve

Joe Bob Briggs, the world’s favorite Drive-In and B-Movie guru, returned to Austin for a special 30th anniversary screening of Dead Heat, a pathetic attempt at making a hybrid Horror Comedy for Eigthies’ audiences. On the upside, it was the last film … Continue reading →

Mandy: Acquired Taste

Posted on December 21, 2018 by Steve

Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow) finally returns with a new Horror flick focused on revenge. It’s another stylistic panoply of color, animation, nostalgia, sound, music, mood and dark humor. Set during the early Eighties, Mandy is a tragedy about a couple whose peaceful, … Continue reading →

The Predator: Streaming…at best

Posted on November 10, 2018 by Steve

Everyone’s big-game-hunting alien(s) return in the latest installment of the Predator saga. What’s new this time? Not very much other than their race can be over ten-feet tall. Shane Black takes a shot at directing and in my opinion he came … Continue reading →

The Happytime Murders: Just Awful

Posted on September 29, 2018 by Steve

I’ll start with this, if you want to see something involving puppets acting in a raunchy manner, Team America did it better. Happytime is terribly disappointing and simultaneously boring. Somara and I already knew there was an adult-side to Jim Henson and … Continue reading →

The Summer of 84: Worth Seeing

Posted on September 15, 2018 by Steve

I managed to catch this when it blew through Alamo for a week. Now it’s available for download and I figure Summer will be on a streaming service soon, the question is which. Given the success of It and Stranger Things, there will … Continue reading →

Three Identical Strangers: Worth Seeing

Posted on September 1, 2018 by Steve

This was my free movie from Alamo Drafthouse for 2018. It was worth the drive down to the South Lamar location. Anybody over forty-ish may remember the core story about these guys since they were all over the talk-show circuit in … Continue reading →

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Worth Seeing

Posted on August 31, 2018 by Steve

The last Marvel movie for 2018 and it had its work cut out given the monumental events from Infinity War. In short, Ant-Man 2 delivered. It was also the second part of my birthday double feature! We return to the misadventures of … Continue reading →
