I’m usually ambivalent when it comes to A24’s releases. For the most part, their movies have premises that are not easily defined or conventional. You can’t always predict what you’re going to see. In the case of Friendship, I watched the trailer once. Being that this was a comedy, I didn’t want the jokes toContinue reading “Friendship Review”

House on Eden Review
I’ve been following the YouTuber, Kris Collins/ @KallMeKris for quite a while. Surprisingly, through my daughter’s scrolling through YouTube. She would introduce me to this person who played multiple characters in these well thought out videos. They were humorous and better executed than most of what my kid finds entertaining. It’s true and I don’tContinue reading “House on Eden Review”

The removal of “Uncle Hershel” from its logo, in favor of a text-only brand is a huge misstep. Cracker Barrel has a certainContinue reading “Cracker Barrel’s Rebrand”
Weapons Review
I can’t stress enough on going into a movie cold. Look at a poster. See the cast list. If you need to watch a trailer, watch it once. That should indicate if you want to see something or not. No one needs to see the first trailer, the second or third, let alone the finalContinue reading “Weapons Review”
The Fantastic Four: First Steps
With the fifth attempt at Marvel’s First Family finally hitting theaters, our “Super-Fantastic Summer” is now complete! And let me tell YOU, it was well worth the wait. I’d like to say for thematic reasons, this is the FOURth theatrical release. I mean, technically, Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four never got an “official” release. For years,Continue reading “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”
Superman (2025)
When I stop to think about it, my first exposure to a comicbook character had to be Superman. As a kid, when I would go to the newsstand, I’d see the spinner rack and my eyes would gravitate toward that red, blue and yellow costume. That “S”…THE “S”. The one easily identified across the globe.Continue reading “Superman (2025)”
Sinners Review
There are many themes that run through the movie Sinners. Whether they are intentional or if they are just my interpretation, that’s up to cinephiles, historians, and ultimately, the man himself; Ryan Coogler. One such theme is… Race Let’s not pussyfoot around. Had Ryan set this story in any other time period, would it beContinue reading “Sinners Review”
Tom Segura Has Bad Thoughts
Tom Segura is one of the best comedians in the industry, today. His humor and the way he tells his jokes are uniquely his own. My brother (who has his finger on the pulse of comedy) introduced me to his brand of comedy a while back and…I. Was. HOOKED. I think it began with hisContinue reading “Tom Segura Has Bad Thoughts”
