The first movie I ever reviewed here on the blog was the fourth installment in the Rambo franchise simply known as Rambo (2008). I’m back today 12 years later with the latest (last?) installment in the franchise: Rambo: Last Blood (2019). My brother had seen this movie recently and raved about it. We traded a few texts about it with his last describing it “cinematic gold”. While that may be a tad bit of a … Continue reading
When I checked into the movie theater last night for the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premier I had this to say: “For this… a long time have I waited. End of an era this is.” When I updated my Facebook status a few hours later I said this: “The Rise of Skywalker… wow. No spoilers from me but I’ll simply say this. Satisfying.” The fact that we were able to get what I … Continue reading
The wife and I don’t watch many movies as it’s really difficult to find something we’d both enjoy. That said, we recently sat down and watched 2018’s A Star Is Born. For those not familiar the film is a romantic drama film produced and directed by Bradley Cooper starring Cooper and Lady Gaga. The rest of the cast is rounded out nicely with the likes of Dave Chappelle, Sam Elliott and Andrew Dice Clay (who … Continue reading
Last night was opening night for Avengers: Endgame here in the states. The film is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers and is the sequel to 2012’s The Avengers, 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron (review here) and 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. It is also the 22nd (!) film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) but you already knew all of that because you haven’t been living under a rock for the last 11 … Continue reading
NOTE: This review was originally posted at ScareTissue.com the morning after I got to see a preview screening. Halloween (2018) was directed by David Gordon Green and was written by Green, Jeff Fradley, and Danny McBride. It is the eleventh installment in the Halloween film series, and a direct sequel to the original 1978 film. It completely retcons the series as it ignores all other films in the franchise after the original. SPOILER ALERT: This review will talk openly about some plot points … Continue reading
Pip was in town last weekend for his yearly trek to Cleveland and during that trip we took the opportunity to go see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The flick has gotten absolutely blasted by the critics even though it was doing very well at the box office (at least for the first weekend). I don’t typically worry much about what critics have to say so I was very excited to see just what … Continue reading
I finally got a chance to see Deadpool the other night. To say I enjoyed it would be a slight understatement. It was awesome. I’m not going to suggest I’m a Deadpool fan. I’m not. In fact, I’ve probably only read a handful of his comics ever. I was sort of, kind of familiar with the character and went into the movie essentially blind to the character and to the plot of the movie other … Continue reading
I finally got to see The Force Awakens for the second time the other night. When I wrote my opening night review I mentioned that I’d post another review after I’d seen the film again that would be spoiler filled. Here it is. SPOILER ALERT: This review will talk openly about plot points of the film. If you want to experience the film as it was intended please watch it before reading this review. I’ve heard … Continue reading
I just got home from seeing Star Wars The Force Awakens on its opening night. Before I go into anything I’ll say this. I went into this movie 100% spoiler free and as this review is being published before the film has been out for it’s full opening weekend I’ll keep it spoiler free. I’ll do another review where I talk spoilers after seeing the film again… and boy will I see this film again. … Continue reading
After some great effort, I believe with this writing I’ll be caught up on Movie Reviews for flicks I’ve seen in the theaters. That’s pretty sad (though honestly par for the course) when you consider I only saw two films in the theater this summer. But I digress. I saw Tomorrowland way back in June when G took a bunch of his friends to the movies for his birthday party. I’m not going to bother with … Continue reading
