Meatballs was on TV the other day, and I said, why not. This summer camp movie was Bill Murray’s first time as a headliner in a major motion picture. After several years honing his craft on Saturday Night Live, it was Ivan Reitman who gave Murray his big break. I am not sure if this … More Meatballs (1979)
There is no rime or reason, but I have been a fan of Funny Farm since I was a kid. My grandmother introduced me to the film which we owned on VHS. When I got my first TV/VCR in my bedroom, this particular film was one I would watch regularly. Since I appreciate Chevy Chase … More Funny Farm (1988)
I’ve seen my fair share of movies, and many of those movies have spawned sequels and franchises. It is safe to say that most of these movies deserved a second story, while others leave you asking why did this ever happen. Weekend at Bernies II would fall into that category. It would be generous of … More Weekend at Bernie’s II (1993)
In case you didn’t know, Major League Baseball returned earlier this summer with no fans in the stands. Many ballparks across America allowed fans to buy cardboard cutouts and put them in their seats. Somewhere out there, there is a cardboard cut out of Bernie Lomax (Terry Kiser). After seeing Bernie enjoy the game, I … More Weekend at Bernie’s (1989)
Yesterday morning while eating breakfast, I flipped through the channels on cable TV. I had an interest in watching a flick that was starting in a few hours, so in the meantime, I settled on watching this movie called Suck. The film features a small indie band called “The Winners,” who somehow get turned into … More Suck (2009)
In case you didn’t know, my wife and I alternate movie pick at our house. It safe to say that out of the hundreds of films we’ve seen together, there have been many hits and misses. College Road Trip would be one of my wife’s biggest misses. She often reminds me of my bad selections, … More College Road Trip (2008)
Somewhere deep in a box, there is a movie ticket stub from 1999 that is slowly fading away. If you look closely, you will see it was for the hit comedy Mickey Blue Eyes. Who is Mickey Blue Eyes, you may ask, well he’s hotshot auctioneer Michael Felgate, played by Hugh Grant. Known for playing … More Mickey Blue Eyes (1999)
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)
I think it is safe to say that if we could switch places with God, most people would hop at that opportunity without a moment’s hesitation. Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a news reporter, just waiting for his opportunity to become a news anchor. Unfortunately for him, through a series of events and grips, he … More Bruce Almighty
