Bad Company

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Steve

Besides being the first movie to use the title Bad Company (the name reappeared in 1995 and 2002, both as modern Action flicks), we can also blame the 1972 period piece for giving the AOR band its name; Paul Rodgers loved … Continue reading →

Road to Perdition

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Steve

When you think of Tom Hanks, I don’t think Road to Perdition readily comes to mind because he’s been so likable for several decades. Therefore him playing a regional gangster’s muscle was a stretch with audiences. I really wanted to see … Continue reading →

The Art of Self Defense

Posted on April 25, 2020 by Steve

If this was supposed to be a Dark Comedy, they really skimped on it. Art is more accurately, a weird Drama or Thriller with a touch of Comedy. I still watched it to the conclusion waiting for the payoff which was … Continue reading →

A Stupid and Futile Gesture

Posted on April 22, 2020 by Steve

Netflix made an interesting biography flick about the first decade of National Lampoon and its co-founder Douglas Kenney. How they executed it was most impressive because it was filled with surprises: namely the casting, the story flow and it readily admitted to … Continue reading →

A Quiet Place

Posted on April 18, 2020 by Steve

A Horror movie with a new twist I was willing to investigate. Quiet receiving a sequel wasn’t a surprise though, about half of all new Horror franchises do well enough to get another: Happy Death Day, SAW, Candyman, etc. I think Quiet earned … Continue reading →

Drive

Posted on April 13, 2020 by Steve

So glad to see Drive return to Netflix. I’m indifferent to Ryan Gosling movies, at least he’s not irritating like Justin Timberlake and I was impressed with in La La Land which keeps getting shit on by White Guilt. I was also … Continue reading →

The Life of Brian…still hilarious and relevant

Posted on April 12, 2020 by Steve

Only fitting to watch this flick on Easter weekend! It’s the grown-up and Atheist alternative to being raised with sitting through Moses and the Ten Commandments on ABC every Easter night. It’s also the first movie I heard of to be … Continue reading →

Terminator: Salvation

Posted on April 11, 2020 by Steve

Why‽ Why‽ WHY‽ Why do they keep making sequels to the well-loved Terminator film from 1984‽ I haven’t seen one worth a crap, the short-lived TV show included and my complaint includes Judgment Day but Salvation really shits the bed. There’s a horrible, … Continue reading →

Aniara

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Steve

The short version. Midsommar meets WALL-E because it’s Swedish and many people lose their sanity during the journey. If you’re still curious, keep reading… In the near future, Earth is inhospitable thanks to Climate Change so millions are leaving for Mars via spaceships … Continue reading →

Prospect

Posted on April 6, 2020 by Steve

Well, one thing I can thank the Pandemic for is it got me to clear out all the movies/shows piling up in my Netflix-Hulu-Disney-Apple+ queues. It’s also giving me an excuse to finally implement a section I’ve wanted to do … Continue reading →
