‘Northman’ Goes South And Stays At Bottom Of Barrel
The Northman is a big steaming pile of dogshit! Even calling it dogshit is insulting to dogshit! At least that can fertilize the lawn. This movie costs anywhere between $70-90 million and didn’t even break even. Maybe it’s because Universal and Focus Features tried their damnedest to portray it as a Braveheart meets Conan theContinue reading “‘Northman’ Goes South And Stays At Bottom Of Barrel”

Boy Scout Child Sexual Abuse Examined In ‘Leave No Trace’
Leave No Trace is an odd title for a documentary like this. Even more odd is how there is little reviews to find of it despite it being released over a week ago by ABC News on Hulu. Why aren’t many critics reviewing this movie about the decades-long sexual abuse and cover-up by the BoyContinue reading “Boy Scout Child Sexual Abuse Examined In ‘Leave No Trace’”

The Janes begins with an interviewee telling us something that many probably never considered. She’s speaking of a time in the 1960s in which she had to get an abortion and had to go through the Mafia for services. And it made sense.

‘Jerry & Marge’ Win Big But Movie Loses To Dramatic Liberties
A movie like Jerry & Marge Go Large is what happens when a film producer or director reads an interesting article on a weekend morning over their coffee and decide it should make a good movie. There’s just one problem. It needs some foolish antagonist to come in that makes no sense for being there.Continue reading “‘Jerry & Marge’ Win Big But Movie Loses To Dramatic Liberties”
‘Leo Grande’ Goes Flaccid Early And Stays That Way For An Hour And A Half
Warning: This contains spoilers (but it’s for your own good).
