GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE 4k Blu Ray Review – We’re Ready To Believe You
In an era where there are so many unoriginal ideas being embraced by major audiences, it’s refreshing to see something like GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE that takes a chance on a film series with a somewhat questionable sequel (in 1989) and an even more baffling remake-of-sorts (in 2016) and creates almost a direct sequel to the very […]

SCREAM (5) Review – Wes Craven & Parallels
I can’t believe it has been over 25 years since SCREAM, the influential and endlessly quotable and overall fun horror comedy from the late great Wes Craven, was a surprise hit at the box office and spawned a franchise that had a sequel one short year later, then a heavily delayed third movie, then a […]

Ten Underdogs to Check Out in 2022
Genre films are the staple of many lists of anticipated films for the new year, and not everyone is keen on seeing them. More often than not, documentaries are overlooked and what I offer are releases designed more to enlighten than to entertain. Another thought I had in mind when putting together this catalogue is […]

DUNE 4k Blu Ray Review – The Spice Reigns In Ultra High Definition
Certainly a movie that has taken a LONG time to get off the ground, DUNE is a movie that comes with a lot of history and many attempts to get it to the big screen. I remember seeing the 4k laser IMAX screening of Dune at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival where it made […]

LICORICE PIZZA Review – A 70s Tale of Pinballs & Waterbeds
There’s an early moment in Paul Thomas Anderson’s newest picture LICORICE PIZZA that I feel like I haven’t seen in a movie in years. A character needs to get in touch with another character so they call them on the phone, hoping they are home. Someone else picks up the phone on the other end, […]
BEING THE RICARDOS Review – Never Say It Was Easy
Lucille Ball was more than just a comedian, studio executive, and producer. To remain a starlet on the big screen is tough, so she turned to producing and being involved in every part of the development process of a successful sitcom. Even today, not many talents are as beloved as this actress–who passed away in […]

THE REAL CHARLIE CHAPLIN Review – Getting To Know The Tramp & Tribulations
Showtime’s attempt to reveal who Chaplin is in THE REAL CHARLIE CHAPLIN is terrific. Not only do we get to know more about the boy facing problems as his family was falling apart, but also we get a sense of how that strengthened him, for better or worse. Chaplin Senior abandoned his child and wife. […]
THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS Review – Neo & Trinity Reminiscence
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 […]
