Seventh Son is a new fantasy flick out now starring (curiously) Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moor. Drunken knight with marbles in his mouth (Bridges doing an explicable accent) and his apprentice fight witches… or dragons… or bears…. This is another … Continue reading
Jupiter Ascending is the new space opera film that shares DNA with The Phantom Menace, Battlefield Earth, The Matrix, John Carter, Flash Gordon, Brazil, Mass Effect, and Guardians of the Galaxy… all poured into a goulash and served luke-warm.If that … Continue reading

Inexplicably, incomprehensibly, and almost impossibly, I went to see the new CG family film Strange Magic and I came away charmed. Based on reviews, I may be the only person who walked out of the movie with a smile. I … Continue reading
Checked out Mortdecai… Johnny Depp’s latest attempt to be a weirdo on screen. This time he’s a puffy British rich guy with a fancy mustache and that’s flippin’ HI-larious… or you better think his mustache is hilarious because they crack … Continue reading
