‘The Adam Project’ Blends Sci-Fi Action With Family Comedy/Drama

The last time Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy teamed up, they produced the video game sci-fi action-comey Free Guy. And I’m going to get a lot of people upset but I was disappointed. I’m not saying that I didn’t enjoy it. I really felt the movie was marketed with us thinking that Reynolds isContinue reading “‘The Adam Project’ Blends Sci-Fi Action With Family Comedy/Drama”

‘Final Exam’ Copies Better Slasher Flicks But Still Makes The Grade

The slasher craze of the 1980s was an odd time in Hollywood. Anyone with a few hundred thousand dollars and some young actors with minimum acting experience could make a movie about a killer who stalks/terrorizes young people. Movies, such as Black Christmas and Halloween, helped to prove you didn’t need a big studio budgetContinue reading “‘Final Exam’ Copies Better Slasher Flicks But Still Makes The Grade”

If You’re Taking A Road Trip This Summer, Don’t Get ‘Lost In America’

Lost in America is a wonderful time capsule of a period in American history where people who had it the best but thought they needed more. Directed and co-written by Albert Brooks who also plays the protagonist David Howard, it’s a look at Baby Boomer yuppies who aren’t happy but for separate reasons.

It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously

I know that it’s gotten to a point where every month, every week, every day it seems is Something Something Day, Week or Month. But since it is Memorial Day today and May is Mental Health Awareness Month, both of them seem to go hand and hand. Ask yourself. How many people buried at ArlingtonContinue reading “It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously”

‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ More Than Just Electric Boogaloo

Three years ago, when the trailer dropped for the first Sonic the Hedgehog, the Internet and fans weren’t too happy. Originally scheduled to be released in November of 2019, the original design for movie Sonic was so bad, people almost universally revolted. The image of Sonic with human eyes and those creepy teeth were mostlyContinue reading “‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ More Than Just Electric Boogaloo”

‘Prom Night’ Turns Into Disco Bloodbath

The premise behind the original Prom Night released in the summer of 1980 is a simple one: What if someone took the original Halloween and gave it a Saturday Night Fever vibe?And just for good measure, they got Jamie Lee Curtis and a nice disco soundtrack. It also helped that Curtis knew how to danceContinue reading “‘Prom Night’ Turns Into Disco Bloodbath”

‘Ambulance’ Takes Viewers On Mr. Bay’s Wild Ride

Michael Bay seems to be one of those guys who looks like he gets a helluva joy out directing the movies he makes. When he burst on the scene in the mid-1990s, he looked like he should be the action hero of his own movies. He was like a young hotshot with that hair, thoseContinue reading “‘Ambulance’ Takes Viewers On Mr. Bay’s Wild Ride”

‘Jackass 4.5’ Rises Below Vulgarity

The best thing to say about Jackass 4.5 is what Mel Brooks told a woman who wasn’t a fan of his movie The Producer and called it vulgar. Brooks responded that the movie “rises below vulgarity.” Released recently on Netflix, the documentary-style movie like all previous Jackass point 5s is part behind the scenes lookContinue reading “‘Jackass 4.5’ Rises Below Vulgarity”

The Day Tom Cruise Went Nucking Futs

I remember a moment from my teenage years in which I had to excuse myself to the restroom as I was seeing a movie at the movie theater in the town I grew up in northwest Georgia. There I was washing my hands as some younger kid came in. I was in high school asContinue reading “The Day Tom Cruise Went Nucking Futs”
