Big two weeks for me with the Academy Awards movies.

Took my wife and college daughters to see the rom-com, Anyone But You. I teach Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing, so I enjoyed the many homages to the play, but as a film it did not have...
Hey guys, thanks for turning me on to Pearl - I had no idea there was a prequel or that this is actually going to be a trilogy. I daresay that Pearl is a rare treat, a film that is actually better...
I have Covid and I am trying to catch up on some things. Just watched X - fun little slasher flick that owes so much to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 8/10
Saw The Hunger Games: Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes. I thought it was an excellent adaptation of the novel, dare I say, even better than the novel. I am a fan of The Hunger Games books and...
I saw The Marvels last night. I know it's been taking a hit, along with Marvel in general, but I actually enjoyed it for what but was. The brevity of its running time played to its lack of depth. ...
That's exciting news. I am seeing it on Thanksgiving. Can't wait!
You should check them out - fun indeed.
Watched Equalizer III last night, and as a genre action piece it was most excellent. It delivered with good action, strong acting, and memorable one-liners. Overall, a fun night out. 8.5/10
Meg 2: The Trench - Let me put it out there that I absolutely loved The Meg. Jaws is my favorite movie of all time, and the The Meg has given me much fun each time I see it, so my expectations were...
Barbie - just brilliant! Given the subject matter, this film has no right to as good as it was. Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach balance each other so well with a winning screenplay. The choice to...
Oppenheiemer - a very interesting character study. There's so much I didn't know, and so much was filled in for me, and yet I was left wanting to know even more. Great performances all around, and...
Bored last night and so my wife and I decided to give Ghosted a try. Watched the whole preposterous thing. It fails in its attempt to be a rom-com, in its attempt to be an action film, and it's...
WOW! For once we totally agree! Loved every minute of it. A fitting end to the series. 9/10
Me too.. Sadly I am going with low expectations.. my buddy said first act is AMAZING.... the last one? Ill be upset... if Disney makes the new Indy a woman... Im gonna be so upset:( They should have...
Heading out to see an old friend tomorrow night at 7PM - Indy, don't let me down.
Watched Extraction and Extraction 2 on consecutive nights. Hemsworth is more than serviceable in these high action thrillers. The first one boasts a 12 minute one-shot while the sequel boasts a 20+...
Rented the would be thriller, To Catch A Killer. Kind of a mixed bag for me. The premise was good, and it has some interesting set pieces. I can take or leave Shailene Woodley depending on the...
I finally got around to watching Barbarian last night. I can honestly say, I was not expecting that! A fun clever ride that really took me for a turn midway. I'm glad I was able to avoid spoilers....
Ok - so, I gotta get that I am a hypocrite out of the way. I said I wouldn't see The Flash because of the groomer, but then my wife and daughters got me tickets, so what'a a guy to do. I went and...
