Going into World’s Greatest Dad, you’d think it would be some zany movie in which Robin Williams plays a single father who must deal with his wayward son. This isn’t an update of the silly comedy Superdad staring Bob Crane. It’s a comedy. It’s just not the type of comedy you’d think. Lance Clayton (Williams)Continue reading “‘World’s Greatest Dad’ Isn’t What You’d Think For A Robin Williams Movie”

‘Dirty Daddy’ Great Tribute To TV Dad/Comic Bob Saget
Why do we laugh? Because it’s better than crying. But sometimes we laugh so hard, we cry. But then, we’re crying so much that we can’t find anything to laugh about. Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute, which is currently on Netflix, is a wonderful ode to the TV Dad who passed away in JanuaryContinue reading “‘Dirty Daddy’ Great Tribute To TV Dad/Comic Bob Saget”
‘Creepshow’ Makes Us Remember How Important Father’s Day Is
Father’s Day is this weekend and it’s hard, if you’re a horror fan, not to think of Creepshow. The holiday plays a special role in the 1982 horror anthology movie which marries the mind of Stephen King with the mind of George A. Romero. The movie is an ode to the old Tales from theContinue reading “‘Creepshow’ Makes Us Remember How Important Father’s Day Is”
Broadcasting ‘Gaslit’ At Perfect Time
Gaslit couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m sure the powers that be behind this eight-part limited series about the Watergate break-in and the aftermath weren’t anticipating the Jan. 6 hearings to happen during the series’ initial broadcast. When filming began in the summer of 2021, the Jan. 6 insurrection coup attempt was stillContinue reading “Broadcasting ‘Gaslit’ At Perfect Time”
‘Hard Eight’ Is A Jackpot Win For Philip Baker Hall’s Legacy
Earlier this week, Philip Baker Hall passed away at the age of 90. For the most part, he remained a character actor only appearing in a few scenes or supporting roles in bigger movies such as The Rock, Ghostbusters II and the Kiss of Death remake in 1995. He hardly ever appeared in a leadingContinue reading “‘Hard Eight’ Is A Jackpot Win For Philip Baker Hall’s Legacy”
‘Hustle’ Flows With Great Story, Performances
As a movie lover, there’s a few things I thought I’d never see. One was when David Lynch made a G-rated movie that was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Another is to see a Happy Madison Production that actually might be a very good Oscar contender with a great performance by Adam Sandler. I sayContinue reading “‘Hustle’ Flows With Great Story, Performances”
‘The Valet’ Goes Down Similar Winding RomCom Path
I liked The Valet. I just wish it took a better shortcut to get to its conclusion. At two hours, this is a good 15-20 minutes too long. It’s also takes a little road less traveled for a romcom like this. The plot seems similar to Notting Hill or the recently released Marry Me inContinue reading “‘The Valet’ Goes Down Similar Winding RomCom Path”
Not Gonna Pull The Wool Over Your Eyes, ‘Lamb’ Is Mutton Special
Warning: This contains spoilers. A movie like Lamb seems more like a parody of movies distributed by A24 rather than being a serious movie. Maria (Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar (Hilmir Snaer Gudnason) are a married couple living on a very isolated ranch/farmland in Iceland. They raise sheep but are hardly speaking to each other asContinue reading “Not Gonna Pull The Wool Over Your Eyes, ‘Lamb’ Is Mutton Special”
Guilty Or Not: O.J.’s Legacy Will Always Be About The Murders Of Nicole Brown And Ron Goldman
The first time I ever heard anything about O.J. Simpson being suspected of murder in the death of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, I was glancing down at a copy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It was a rainy Tuesday afternoon. I was taking driver’s ed over the summer and had just come home. The story wasContinue reading “Guilty Or Not: O.J.’s Legacy Will Always Be About The Murders Of Nicole Brown And Ron Goldman”
Some Damned Fool Accused ‘Predator’ Of Being One Of The Best, You Son Of A Bitch!
In the novelization for the movie Last Action Hero, a parody of action movies, there is a scene in which Jack Slater hears about the movie Predator. Danny Madigan, a big fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger says it’s about an alien hunting the military in the jungle. Slater doesn’t seem impressed and asked if they madeContinue reading “Some Damned Fool Accused ‘Predator’ Of Being One Of The Best, You Son Of A Bitch!”
