I really wanted Hobbs and Shaw to be a non-stop comedy. I was hoping that the pent up aggression between Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) would lead to chaos. There is chaos, and there is some comedy, just not at the level I expected from the trailer. Sure, there are a lot of … More Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

Hey you guys… I’ve never seen the Goonies until last week. As part of the Cineplex Flashback Film Series, I said why not finally check it out. If I had to sum up this cult classic, I would say it is typical 80’s stuff. The film checked all the boxes: comedy, action, kids, and cheesy … More The Goonies (1985)

INTRODUCTION I grew up in a small town in northern New Hampshire. As a kid, my town’s population warranted three sports cards stores, but by the time I was 15, they all closed. I stopped collecting hockey cards at that point and shifted my focus to other sports-related memorabilia. In 2006 I got the itch … More What We Bought Today: 2019 Topps Series 2 Baseball
I don’t quite understand all the hype about Wild Rose. This movie was rather bland and didn’t inspire me to do anything, except maybe take care of my kids if I ever had any. Wild Rose didn’t break the mould because we have seen this same story time and time again. People think the grass … More Wild Rose (2019)
If I had to sum the live-action release of The Lion King, I would just say “meh.” If it weren’t for the exceptional and breathtaking cinematography, this movie would have bombed. The Lion King is one the crown jewels of Disney animation, and unfortunately, Jon Favreau did nothing to separate his film from that one. … More The Lion King (2019)
