Mulan will always be remembered for one reason, and it’s not because of the breathtaking cinematography. The latest blockbuster for Disney will always be associated with COVID-19 because it went from the big screen to the small screen and for a price much higher than a regular movie ticket. Subscribers to Disney Plus were dealt … More Mulan (2020)
Once upon a time, I had watched Escape from New York. I want to say it was late in my teenage years or as a young adult, so nothing about the movie appealed to me. I didn’t fully understand or appreciate all the themes that John Carpenter wrote into this brilliant film. Last night while … More Escape from New York (1981)
It is very random that I am at home, and I turn on the cable (after dusting it off, of course) and browse the movie channels we pay for and never use. With no rhyme or reason, I clicked on a movie called Stander. I didn’t even know what it was about, but it was … More Stander (2003)
The other night after the sports world had gone to bed, I was sitting on the couch, flipping through the channels. This is something I rarely do since our house has just about all the streaming services out there, so who needs cable anymore. I noticed Vertical Limit was on, and it has been ages … More Vertical Limit (2000)
We may be in the year 2020, but one thing remains true 15 years after The Pacifier hit theatres… Vin Diesel still can’t act. Most of us cringe at his stoned faced performances in the Fast & Furious because that is what he’ll always be famous for. When it was suggested we watch The Pacifier … More The Pacifier (2005)
Broken Arrow may be considered a guilty pleasure of mine, although I watch the movie once a year. I don’t have any particular reason why I just enjoy this movie. The best I could come up with is this is the classic 1990’s action I grew up with. It has been said a handful of … More Broken Arrow (1996)
It is well known within the film industry that Backdraft is considered the most celebrated film about firefighters. In the second place, a few notches below should be Ladder 49. Since 2001 TV had flooded the audiences with shows centred around the firehouse like Rescue Me and Chicago Fire, to name a few, but there … More Ladder 49 (2004)
(In 2015, I was in a monthly film club with fellow bloggers. Together we published seven group reviews. Recently I discovered that those posts are gone. When I dug into the archives, I found my contributions. Here they are.) Snowpiercer came out in late 2013 and was on my watch list because everyone was praising … More Snowpiercer (2013)
Worth Fighting For kept showing up as a movie that was highly recommended to me. I am not sure what algorithm Pure Flix used, but probably based on my love of sports movies did this come across my feed. The plot of the bare-knuckle fighter with nothing to lose intrigued me. Alex (Alan Powell) fights … More Worth Fighting For (2017)
We all like to judge things by their cover. I selected The Climb as my movie choice the other night because I was interested in an adventure. Well, I decided wrong. Sure, there was some adventure, but not like what I was hoping for based on the film’s synopsis. Our two lead characters, Derrick (Jason … More The Climb (2002)
