SINNERS – Mike and Anna loved it. John hated it. He said it’s a remake of From Dusk to Dawn, which he also hated. I thought it had some appeal for awhile until a vampire extravaganza turned into a zombie brigade and then it lost me. I’m not a fan of zombie stories, but IContinue reading

THE NAKED GUN – Disappointing 2 out of 4 stars for this remake of the original film starring Leslie Nielsen. We were excited to watch this new version starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, and we weren’t expecting it to be as good as the first…and it wasn’t. In fact it was just plain bad.Continue reading
WAKE UP DEAD MAN – The third release in the Knives Out Mystery Movie series starring Daniel Craig, who by the way, is super hot in this one with his long blond hair and stubbly beard. Josh Brolin is also hot with his long silvery hair and stubbly beard, cast as a priest gone rogue.Continue reading
SPINAL TAP II – Pretty much a rehash of the first Spinal Tap film with our favorite pretend band assembled by the great, and tragically late, Rob Reiner. I don’t remember much of the first one….just that it was very funny and I liked it a lot. Mike says this one is okay with someContinue reading
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
