THE LAST SHOWGIRL – I disliked this film and could barely sit through it. The main character, played by Pamela Anderson, is needy and desperate and always speaks in an annoying childish voice. Jamie Lee Curtis plays a character similar to her role in The Bear. She deserved the Emmy for that role. I wasn’tContinue reading

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE – Fascinating look in real time at a nuclear attack on America. In this film we have no idea who launched the missile against us, all efforts to intercept it fail and the president has only 18 minutes to make his choice…retaliate or not. Either way, the city of Chicago isContinue reading
JUDY – Renee Zellweger takes a stab at portraying iconic Judy Garland in this film of Judy’s last year alive. A few things bothered me watching this piece. One – Renee never really captured Judy’s essence for me. And she doesn’t look much like her either, even with hair, makeup and wardrobe to match theContinue reading
NOVOCAINE – I didn’t like it. I was expecting a comedy, but except for one particular scene which was very funny, I don’t think it was. I don’t know what it was. There’s a lot of cringe worthy graphics and violence that bothered me. I had to look away from some scenarios. John, on theContinue reading
BABYGIRL – Soft porn for sure. And Nicole looks awful. (She used to be one of John’s fictional girlfriends. Not anymore). There’s zero chemistry between she and the young intern. Antonio Banderas is good as the husband, but I didn’t believe any of the storyline when I could understand it. The scenes are disjointed, thereContinue reading
F1 – Packed with car racing action and starting out with a bang, this Brad Pitt film about Formula One competition is loud and exciting….almost like being there. Two and a half hours flew by…much like the cars themselves and unlike most movies of that length. It’s a great vehicle for Brad, too….no pun intended.Continue reading
NOSFERATU – Bleak, dismal, weird, graphic, dull, long variation of the original vampire story. John hated it and left in the middle for a smoke. Sage said it was strange and she couldn’t understand it. Mike was more forgiving because he likes the director, but still not a fan. I hated it. Watch any otherContinue reading
A REAL PAIN – Kieran Culkin’s character definitely lives up to this description and so does the film. I found it exhausting and annoying to watch because of this role, which I guess is the point. I had heard there was lots of comic relief in it, but I found none. Kieran has since wonContinue reading
A COMPLETE UNKNOWN – This film of Bob Dylan’s early musical career covers the years from literally being a complete unknown to the controversial folk concert where he committed the horrid sin of playing electric guitar instead of acoustic. I’ve never been a Dylan fan although I like many of his songs when they areContinue reading
THE SUBSTANCE – Hideous!! Literally. Skip it! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
