Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves

The older I get the more and more I’m convinced women hate each other. Not all of them. Yet if there is any possibility of competition, they will find a way to one-up each other. But I’m going to suggest (not explain) why I think this happens. From the moment they’re born, little girls areContinue reading “Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves”

‘Alien: Romulus’ Is More Of The Same

Fade In Studio Exec 1: So, what’s your movie idea? Filmmaker: Here me out, a sequel to Alien, but a prequel to Aliens. Studio Exec 2: Aren’t people tired of the franchise? I mean, that last one had Danny McBride, for chrissakes! Filmmaker: No! We’ll just keep a small cast this time of people. ButContinue reading “‘Alien: Romulus’ Is More Of The Same”

‘The Dead Pool’ Is Dirty Harry’s Swan Song In Metafictional Thriller

A movie like The Dead Pool is now more famous for its supporting cast and the unrelated media franchise its named spawned. It is the fifth and final Dirty Harry movie as Clint Eastwood was well into his 50s by the time of the movie’s release in the summer of 1988. My thinking Eastwood madeContinue reading “‘The Dead Pool’ Is Dirty Harry’s Swan Song In Metafictional Thriller”

‘Mr. McMahon’ Avoids A Total Smackdown On Wrestling Mogul

A docuseries like Mr. McMahon is hard to watch because a lot of the people being interviewed are pretty horrible people. I can imagine filmmaker Chris Smith watching the 2024 Republican National Convention in July and jumping up and down as Hulk Hogan did his foolish shirt tear trademark as he supporting Donald Trump. YouContinue reading “‘Mr. McMahon’ Avoids A Total Smackdown On Wrestling Mogul”

No Reason Whatsoever To Care For ‘It’s What’s Inside’

After Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Talk to Me, I don’t think I will care ever to see another horror/thriller movie where a bunch of 20-somethings gather for a lavish party here or there. It’s What’s Inside is another movie of loud-mouth obnoxious 20-somethings who never, never seem like they would exist in the real worldContinue reading “No Reason Whatsoever To Care For ‘It’s What’s Inside’”

‘Manhattan Alien Abduction’ Is A Waste Of Time So Don’t Watch It

Documentaries on Netflix are either very great or very boring. A three-part documentary like The Manhattan Alien Abduction is the latter. It’s dull and unwatchable because it’s really nothing more than watching two Karens gripe about each other. Or are they Susans? Or Gertrudes? I’m not really sure of the age-range for this type ofContinue reading “‘Manhattan Alien Abduction’ Is A Waste Of Time So Don’t Watch It”

Honest Review Of ‘Society Of The Snow’

Society of the Snow comes more than 30 years after the release of Alive, possibly the most famous movie about the 1972 crash of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 in the Andes Mountain. It was the second movie to be based on the crash and the story of the survivors. The first is Survive!,Continue reading “Honest Review Of ‘Society Of The Snow’”

‘Twisters’ Are Doin’ It For Themselves

A movie like Twisters was inevitable. But it should’ve been made about 25 years ago. Reportedly production on the first Twister wasn’t the most pleasant. It was Jan De Bont’s first movie after the success of Speed. And it was also Bill Paxton’s first starring vehicle in a huge blockbuster. The popularity of Helen HuntContinue reading “‘Twisters’ Are Doin’ It For Themselves”

‘Only Murders In The Building’ Continues To Slay ‘Em In Season 4

When Jane Lynch first appeared in the first season of Only Murders in the Building, it could’ve very easily been a one-and-done joke. Lynch plays Sazz Pataki, the long-time stunt double of Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), who appeared on a fictional police procedural Brazzos. Both Martin and Lynch are about the same height and bodyContinue reading “‘Only Murders In The Building’ Continues To Slay ‘Em In Season 4”
