Checked out the new Dreamworks animated film Abominable. This is the third in a weird recent trend of human-like cryptid movies that also includes Missing Link (bigfoot) and Smallfoot (yeti). Not sure why exactly three Sasquatch/yeti animated films were made … Continue reading
Finally caught up on Rambo: Last Blood, the latest of the Sylvester Stallone Rambo franchise. A franchise that I thought Stallone ended in the decent fourth film where the character seemingly retired to a ranch in the southwest US. But, … Continue reading
Also checked out the new thoughtful science fiction film Ad Astra. This one is produced by and stars Brad Pitt and is an earnest, if flawed, attempt as heady, mindful, intelligent science fiction. It’s only flaw is that it tries … Continue reading

Checked out the generically-titled Don’t Let Go… a movie that might have once been called Relive. It’s a twisty timey winey sci-fi murder mystery so I guess the marketing department thought the title Don’t Let Go would bring in the … Continue reading
Checked out the new sports/Christian film Overcomer… a movie that focuses on the wrong character but also on cross-country running (and then on Christ out of pretty much nowhere). The film is set in a small town that has … Continue reading
