So I checked out King Arthur: Legend of the Sword this weekend and hoobaby was it a terrible, misguided, noisy, energetic, ambitious, and weird movie. It’s directed by Guy Ritchie, a man who never saw a scene he didn’t think … Continue reading
Also checked out the big mother’s day weekend movie Snatched. This is the one starring Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn. Hawn hasn’t been in a movie since The Banger Sisters back in 2002. I guess her husband Kurt Russell is … Continue reading
Checked out a movie that has utterly bombed at the box office called Sleight. Came in 18th place in its opening weekend so was shocked to see it still at a nearby theater the next weekend so I decided to … Continue reading

Free Fire is a new action film that’s pretty much a genre experiment more than it is a movie. Basically it’s a 70’s era crime action flick that takes place in one location and is mostly a 45-50 minute gun … Continue reading
Also saw The Case for Christ… the true story of a Chicago Tribune writer who went out to disprove the Crucifixion story and wound up a believer (who also wrote the book the flick is based on). This is a … Continue reading
