Checked out the 2015 film Being Evel, a documentary (co-produced by Johnny Knoxville) about famed 70s daredevil Evel Knievel. I had his toy crank bike as a kid but I had no real idea his story and this flick covers … Continue reading
Caught the Zack Ephron / Robert De Niro raunchy comedy Dirty Grandpa today and, boy, was that a long 100 minute movie. Just tedious and kind of repetitive and completely predictable. And not as outrageous as they think it is … Continue reading

The Revenant is the new Leonardo DiCaprio wilderness survival movie from director Alejandro Inaritu who made Birdman last year. This is a long, grueling film depicting a Man vs. Nature storyline at its most primal. All filmed in location in … Continue reading
So finally – finally – went to see the remake of Point Break. Now, I’d never accuse the original Point Break of being high art, particularly good, or even anything but kind of a goofy flick so it’s theoretically possible … Continue reading
