There has been a lot of background noise around the recent release of Black Panther. Â Unfortunately it did cause me some trepidation in going to see it. Â I thought, this better be good or the noise around it will be an absolute nightmare beyond what it already was. Â It is a MCU movie though, and … [Read more…]
Eight times to the theater in the month of December. Overall, it was an absurdly good month. Not a single movie that I saw fell under a B. I don’t think that’s ever happened before. I started off the month with The Man Who Invented Christmas, a dramatization of Charles Dickens writing A Christmas Carol. … [Read more…]
Editor’s Note: I could not avoid spoilers completely. Â I did try to brush past the big ones but there are a few here. The Last Jedi is a clear passing of the torch for the Star Wars franchise. Where The Force Awakens gives us an introduction to the ‘new generation’ the latest installment gives them … [Read more…]
Ten times in the month of November, one of which was to see a movie released this month twice. This was a spectacular month in theaters. We got the start of Oscar bait season, which isn’t entirely a bad thing. In the past few years, the typical dreck has given way to some truly spectacular … [Read more…]
I went to the theaters nine times in the month of October, one of which was to see Kingsman: The Golden Circle again.  This was a pretty good month in theaters all told. No dumpster fires here, but two films may have gotten close. And some people will not be happy about one of them… Let’s just tear this bandage off immediately:  Blade Runner 2049 was … [Read more…]
Sorry that this is a little bit late. Had some stuff to take care of. I managed to get to the theaters five times in the month of September. We got two really good movies this month. Let’s get on with it, shall we? IT was fantastic. If it wasn’t for the last movie I … [Read more…]
I managed to make it to the theaters seven times in the month of August. Saw one more movie than I was planning to, but more on that later. Decent month in theaters with one clear standout. Atomic Blonde, directed by one of the co-directors of the first John Wick, was not as good as … [Read more…]
I have been a fan of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman for well over twenty years now. Â Especially a fan of their Dragonlance Saga. Â They’ve crafted a world so deep and intricate that it’s easy to lose yourself in for hours at a time. Â I’ve wanted a movie about this series for about as long … [Read more…]
Only four trips to the theater in the month of July.  I might have seen Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets if it didn’t come out the same week as one of my most anticipated movies of the year. But let’s just dive right in! Despicable Me 3 was fine. Better than Minions but not better than the two previous films … [Read more…]
I went to the movie theater five times in the month of June. I neglected to see the most recent addition to the Transformers franchise and The Mummy.  Mostly because the former looked both ridiculous and terrible and the latter just looked plain terrible.  No regrets. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is based on a cherished book series from my childhood. Was it as amazing … [Read more…]
