Pixels is the new sci-fi/action/comedy about 1980s era video games attacking Earth… and only Adam Sandler, Josh Gad, Kevin James, Peter Dinklage, and Michelle Monahan can save the day (since some of them were 1980s-era video game champs). This movie … Continue reading
Paper Towns is the new movie based on the John Green novel of the same name (who also wrote The Fault In Our Stars). It’s a teen road trip caper comedy drama… and it’s pretty good but not entirely engaging … Continue reading

The indie flick Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl is in limited release and open wider so I was able to catch it. I’ve never once seen a more Wes Anderson-like that isn’t actually made by Wes Anderson. It has … Continue reading
