Star Trek Beyond: Rental at best

Posted on August 29, 2016 by Steve

I lifted my boycott on the “new” Star Trek after a good friend top me I didn’t need to see the previous turd…Star Trek Into Explosions to understand Beyond. This shouldn’t be a surprise, the franchise has gone with shallowness and characters … Continue reading →

Kubo and the Two Strings: Must See

Posted on August 27, 2016 by Steve

Another diamond in the rough of crap this Summer. Then again I tend to have more faith in Laika studios like I used to for Pixar…until Laika decides to make Boxtrolls 2, thankfully they’re not taking the easy way. Kubo is … Continue reading →

The Secret Life of Pets: Rental at best

Posted on August 13, 2016 by Steve

Universal tries to do something other than another Minions or Despicable Me sequel and it’s a mediocre Toy Story ripoff with animals instead of toys. I guess they were counting on Louis CK and Kevin Hart to carry this stinkburger through. How is it Toy … Continue reading →

Finding Dory: Worth Seeing

Posted on August 7, 2016 by Steve

It’s not quite Inside/Out but this Pixar sequel is far superior to Monsters U and the orifice gouging Cars 2. I’m still bummed the studio plans to churn out sequels (Toy Story 4 and Incredibles 2) yet they pulled through on Dory. A year has passed … Continue reading →

Captain America: Civil War: Must See

Posted on May 7, 2016 by Steve

Let’s hear it again for the Marvel Express Train of Success! If you think Civil War was going to be the end of the streak…nope. In many ways this corrects the “repeat” complaint I did have over Ant-Man (Iron Man 1) and Age of Ultron … Continue reading →

Batman v. Superman: Waste of time

Posted on April 9, 2016 by Steve

But Steve, why did you go? Well, I still like Batman and I wanted to see if Ben Affleck would do alright. For me, it’s about time we got an American actor over an ill-tempered Brit to play my favorite … Continue reading →

Zootopia: Rental or Netflix

Posted on March 10, 2016 by Steve

Zootopia is fairly predictable as it cashes in on Jason Bateman doing his “sly fox” thing, Idris Elba being gruff and the underrated Jenny Slate utilizing her helium-esque voice to play a sheep who’s also the assistant mayor. It is entertaining because … Continue reading →

Deadpool: Wait for Netflix or rent

Posted on March 4, 2016 by Steve

Deadpool the comic-book character has never been my thing. I like funny comics. I’ve never been averse to the ultra-violent neither, trust me, Give Me Liberty and Lone Wolf and Cub remain favorites; the latter was done by Frank Miller before he became a … Continue reading →

Hail, Caesar!: Wait for Netflix or rent

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Steve

I’ll start off with a disclosure statement or confession…I am not nor have I ever been enamored of the Coen Brothers. I think they’re hacks who are twice as crappy as Tarantino. Makes sense, there’s two of them. I hate The … Continue reading →

Krampus: Rental

Posted on December 23, 2015 by Steve

An attempt at a Horror Comedy which doesn’t really provide enough of either. It had a few humorous moments commenting on the holiday’s commercialization and redneck relatives. As for the horrifying parts, they don’t have to be covered in splatter … Continue reading →

Gremlins: Our Xmas movie for 2015

Posted on December 23, 2015 by Steve

When it comes to Christmas, many people in my generation go with Die Hard as their holiday flick. I’ve never seen it plus I can’t stand Bruce Willis, another chicken-shit-hawk “action” star. Anyway, yeah, I know…it’s Christmas and the movie is … Continue reading →

The Force Awakens: Must See!

Posted on December 20, 2015 by Steve

NO SPOILERS SO SHUT THE F*** UP, RELAX AND READ ON! If I see that warn-out car joke one more time, right next to the UK carry-on meme, I’m going to go off on the social retard. Anyway, I had the … Continue reading →

Trumbo: Must See

Posted on December 6, 2015 by Steve

You may not know Dalton Trumbo by name but you’ll know the movies he wrote the screenplays to: Roman Holiday, Spartacus, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Exodus and Kitty Foyle. He was also a highly-paid screenwriter whose career was devastated by the Red Scare … Continue reading →

The Good Dinosaur: Time killer

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Steve

Inside Out was a demonstration of Pixar regaining its mojo and The Good Dinosaur shows they don’t have a consistent plan to maintain another good streak. When I saw the trailer for Finding Dory which appears next Summer, I have serious doubts they won’t be releasing … Continue reading →

Ghost World

Posted on November 27, 2015 by Steve

This was the movie they chose to feature with Illeana Douglas’ book signing. A rather odd choice since she was only a supporting character, the protagonist’s Summer art teacher but when Illeana appeared, she was funny. After seeing Ghost World, it … Continue reading →
