Checked out the new dark comedy The Art of Self Defense. Small movie, probably won’t be noticed by many… but a good movie… assuming you like odd, kind of violent, kind of spoofs of sports movies and toxic masculinity. Or … Continue reading
The new action comedy buddy cop film Stuber has a very bad title and not particularly good trailers. So I went anyway because that’s what I do. And my low expectations were, surprisingly, surpassed. The movie is getting pretty bad … Continue reading
The new movie Yesterday is in love with The Beatles… and hopefully you are too if you go see it. This is a high-concept comedy / romantic comedy written by the guy who wrote fine romantic comedies like Notting Hill … Continue reading

Also caught the critical darling teen comedy Booksmart. This one had a huge positive reaction at one of the film conventions/expos and had decent trailer. So I went in hoping for something great. I didn’t get it… but it wasn’t … Continue reading
