While part of me thinks that a Buzz Lightyear movie is somewhat unnecessary due to all of the TOY STORY movies and the spinoff straight to video, this long-awaited spinoff LIGHTYEAR is finally here, warts and all. The movie opens on an amusing title card that tells us that the movie we are about to see […]
TOP GUN MAVERICK Review – Pushing The Eighties Memories To Eleven
In the spring of 1987, I distinctly remember going into a small four-screen theatre in Orange, California excited to see a double feature. Though uncommon these days, double features were popular with some studios late into their theatrical runs, and Paramount had a deal to see CROCODILE DUNDEE and TOP GUN back-to-back. My family was […]

LICORICE PIZZA on Blu Ray Review – Big Dreams In The Valley
LICORICE PIZZA was one of the very best movies I saw in 2021, and it’s wonderful to see the movie find a solid and devoted audience. It’s loose, free-wheeling and one of filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s (BOOGIE NIGHTS, MAGNOLIA, PHANTOM THREAD) finest modern movies. Watching this coming-of-age story once again, I am reminded of the […]

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 4k Blu Ray Steelbook Review – Indiana Jones, As Strong As Steel
I still can’t believe it has been over 40 years since Steven Spielberg’s landmark RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK hit theatres, and with it a box office and critical sensation.

SPIDERMAN NO WAY HOME on 4k Blu Ray – The Real Multiverse of Madness
I reviewed the much-anticipated NO WAY HOME when it came out last December, and watching it again I was still immensely entertained, even though I am one of the first to admit that I am pretty tired of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. The recent DR. STRANGE picture, which is connected to this one, was […]

JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION Review – Too Much Chomp & Circumstance
A sadness fell over me while sitting through the new JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION. Earlier this year I commented on the movie RRR ruining me for all mainstream American movies as a prime example of what to do in a big screen entertainment to push the moviegoing experience forward.

THE UNTOUCHABLES on 4k Blu Ray – That’s The Chicago Way
It’s a fascinating concept to think that at one point in American history that alcohol was illegal and prohibition, yet people still found a way to drink anyway. One of the all time great pictures on this topic is Sergio Leone’s legendary ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA from 1984, and then a few years […]

Bob’s Burgers The Movie Review – Guess I Need To See The Show Now
Anyone who knows me knows that I am terrible on TV shows, streaming series and the like. I’m a movie buff through and through and will watch mostly anything in a theatre. You want to get me interested in sports, for example? Put it in a movie. With that said, when a show makes the […]
