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)
Let’s start at the beginning…I’ve never been a Tarantino fan. What got me out to Once Upon a Time was Brad, Leo, and Margot. How can you hate a movie with those three? Throw in Al Pacino and Timothy Olyphant, and you have a masterpiece in the making. Well, to be honest, this film was … More Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood (2019)
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)
Return to the Planet of the Apes 13 Episodes / 24 mins long 1 season (1975) Return to the Planet of the Apes is Today 44 years old today, which means anyone who watches it has to look past the hand-drawn animation and rather bad storytelling to appreciate this sequel series … More TV Show Review: Return to the Planet of the Apes (1975)
After all these years, I finally know who Dirk Diggler is. All I learnt from this 2:32 movie is that Burt Reynolds hated himself for taking on the role, and somehow Mark Wahlberg survived this disaster. This movie was already “dirty” for being based on the porn industry, but I hated it for so many … More Boogie Nights (1997)
Crawl was released to a 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I can testify that those numbers are accurate. This intense thriller is man against beast, time against the storm, all the classic clinches that make for good stories. Kaya Scodelario carries the story from start to finish thanks to her ability to act brave … More Crawl (2019)
Stuber wanted to modernize the cop buddy comedy by combining a blind cop, fresh out of Lasik surgery, and a desperate Uber driver. You would think there wouldn’t be any chemistry between Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani, but the two kinda make it work. Bautista may always be famous for his role as Drax, which … More Stuber (2019)
