I did not want to like this movie. I have a fierce loyalty to the original with Steve Martin and Martin Short (yes those guys from Only Murders) and boycotted this remake. However I was forced to watch it and well it’s pretty great. Completely different from the “dad can’t accept his daughter isn’t 12” … Continue reading Father of the Bride
Digging deeper into the scandals that you might have missed/ignored in the past 20 years, see just what happened to Brian Williams, why did the Pam and Tommy tape get out, and why was Girls Gone Wild a thing? Half of this I loved and half was okay. It’s a good watch if you’re interested … Continue reading Rich & Shameless
There’s two things that make a good biopic movie. First, when you forget at one point that you’re watching a movie and not a documentary. Second, when you truly hate the villain. This movie has both. Austin Butler does the impossible task of taking on the role of Elvis Presley from the beginning of his … Continue reading Elvis

The final (?) installment of the latest Harry Potter trilogy has finally arrived. Was it enjoyable? Yes. Does Jude Law only get prettier with age? Yes. Did JK try to do too much in two hours?

This documentary has Tony sharing how he got his start with the Bones Brigade, what it took for him to be as successful as he was and how he’s still skating.

I’ve been waiting for this since summer 2020 when it was originally supposed to come out. As a lover of Agatha Christie, I think they did a good job. In a remake of the 1978 movie of the same title, famed detective Hercule Poirot (instant props if you can pronounce his name correctly) is tasked … Continue reading Death On The Nile
Warning: this documentary discusses rape, domestic, and emotional abuse From the 2007 to 2011 Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson were in a relationship (they were 18 and 37 when their relationship started by the way.) She since then has shared that she suffered from emotional and physical abuse. It took Wood years to name … Continue reading Phoenix Rising
First and foremost I have an allegiance to Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the original Adam West Batman. That being said, this was really good. RPatts didn’t a surprisingly good job at playing the cape crusader and Zoe Kravitz was a refreshing take on Catwoman. Seeing the previous movies helps knowing what’s going on … Continue reading The Batman
I loved the original and was against this remake from the beginning. I couldn't believe that Steve Spielberg would defile the amazing work of terribly accented Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno performances that I grew up with. However, since this got so many great reviews and nominations, I gave it a whirl. I will admit … Continue reading West Side Story
