Now, in his early 50s, Mark Wahlberg seems to take great enthusiasm in being the most Bostonian he can. I don’t mind that he talks about his religion. But most of his movie roles for the past decade seem to be playing blue-collar types. And yes, he may have that look where all he needsContinue reading “‘The Union’ Falls Apart”

‘The Karate Kid’ At 40 Still A Champion
The Karate Kid is one of those great movies that became popular during the 1980s, then a joke in the 1990s before finding some love and attention again during the 2010s. In There’s Something About Mary, Matt Dillon’s character used the movie as a joke saying it’s a classic, but now 40 years later, he’sContinue reading “‘The Karate Kid’ At 40 Still A Champion”
‘Cobra Kai’ Still Kicking, But Final Season Is Just Beginning
The first part of the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai dropped on Netflix recently.

‘That ’90s Show’ Finds Its Footing
Usually, a show like That ’90’s Show would have continuous cameos from the cast of That ’70s Show, but the second season has managed to put the nostalgia behind it somewhat.

‘Axel F’ Is True Return To Form For Beverly Hills Cop Franchise
A movie like Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F shouldn’t be as good as it is. It’s not great. There are problems here and there. But for a franchise that was almost surely dead 30 years ago, the fourth entry could’ve easily been a dud. It’s been in development Hell since the late 1990s and wentContinue reading “‘Axel F’ Is True Return To Form For Beverly Hills Cop Franchise”
‘Spacey Unmasked’ Is An Eyeopener But Still Leaves Some Stuff Under Wraps
There just always something about Kevin Spacey early on that made him seem odd. He seemed to be perfect at playing characters you didn’t like no matter what. His role as a corporate stooge in Glengarry Glen Ross could’ve easily been dismissed. It was because he wasn’t as well known as the rest of theContinue reading “‘Spacey Unmasked’ Is An Eyeopener But Still Leaves Some Stuff Under Wraps”

‘Katt Williams: Woke Foke’ Moves At The Pace Of A Slow Poke
Earlier this year, comic-actor Katt Williams became a viral sensation when he spilled a lot of tea on a Club Shay Shay, a weekly podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe.

‘Spaceman’ Spends Too Much Time On Autopilot To Reach Its Destination
The fact that Adam Sandler can jump back and forth between stupid low-brow humor movies like Jack and Jill and That’s My Boy and still make movies like Uncut Gems, Punch-Drunk Love and Hustle is not only impressive, it’s goddamn eerie. Even though it wasn’t one of his best movies, I actually felt The CobblerContinue reading “‘Spaceman’ Spends Too Much Time On Autopilot To Reach Its Destination”
