Oh, THE MATRIX. The 1999 Oscar winning triumph was equal parts a visual effects benchmark, a trippy mind-bender with Buddist teachings is a movie that is still referenced by many today, especially in the “Blue Pill” and “Red Pill” philosophies. It has been quoted, referenced and even spoofed to death over the years, even more […]

Are you ready for a BIG movie, world? Those big blockbuster movies you pay to see in a movie theatre and line up for, even after nearly two years of the world being in chaos? Remember the experience of seeing something BIG and HUGE on the big screen? Boy do I have something fun for […]

In what could have been described as a “Here We Go Again” moment, one of the finest and most beloved musicals has a new cinematic adaptation with much controversy by one of the finest filmmakers of our time nearly sixty years later. What takes this to another level is that after all this time, you […]

I wish that right this second, I could meet your face across the universe of a theatre lobby to unite in our “Dammit-that-was-freakin-exquisite”! disbelief head-shake as we merge with the sea of people exiting the aisles, acclimating into a single file of bright lights, real-time, space, sound and existence so we could find each other […]

There was a word I kept writing down in my notes while watching the screening of HOUSE OF GUCCI and it was…lethargic. You would think that there could be an entertaining movie about the rise and fall of the Gucci brand; at its rise and fame, among other things, Gucci designed those really expensive designer […]

It feels like every week I’m seeing the exact same movie over and over again and also catching up on all of the movie delays caused by the events of the last couple of years, and I am more than tired of it, thinking every new title I get to view is going to be […]

HOME SWEET HOME ALONE shows sympathy for the devil in this continuation of the HOME ALONE franchise. We learn what motivates Jeff McKenzie (Rob Delaney), the supposed antagonist, to go after Max Mercer (Archie Yates). He thinks the tyke stole a family heirloom when the boy and his mom visited his home. It’s for sale […]

Scholastic is updating their look with the cinematic update of their fondest property, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG. It’s about time to make him CGI rather than just a drawing. I doubt creator Norman Bridwell would have issues even when he was alive, when the decision to make a movie was being tossed back and […]

It seems that every couple of months a new Marvel Cinematic Universe movie comes out and more and more I feel like we really don’t need any of these movies anymore. Yes, I know, money needs to be made, now more than ever. And CHLOE ZHAO’S ETERNALS proves that the windows are getting shorter and […]

It’s incredibly rare to get TWO Edgar Wright movies in a year. I raved earlier this year about his wonderful documentary THE SPARKS BROTHERS, which was a complete summary of many decades. Wright is a stickler for detail and using imagery and particular music beats to. I saw LAST NIGHT IN SOHO at the recent […]

When I hear the name Fran Kranz, immediately the year 2012 flashes back to me and the time where I saw CABIN IN THE WOODS four times in one weekend. Along with this, he is more known for collaborations with Joss Whedon including DOLLHOUSE. He has has had a great acting career, but to say […]

First things first, I am very glad cinemas are open again and audiences are finally able to see some of the movies that have been long-delayed. Even back at the start of the pandemic in early 2020, there were full on trailers AND advance tickets available for the THEN long-awaited James Bond movie NO TIME […]
