Also checked out the alleged comedy Gringo over the weekend. I say alleged comedy because the trailers said it was a comedy… and I’m not saying it tries to be funny but isn’t, I’m saying it’s only occasionally trying to … Continue reading
Went to see the comedy Game Night. This is a very funny, laugh-out-loud comedy. I recommend it quite a lot. The film is about a group of married and dating friends who meet up for game nights. On one … Continue reading

Checked out Pitch Perfect 3, the alleged final movie in the series. Is it? I dunno. Should it be? Maybe. Depends on if they can work up the energy and interest in a fourth film… since I’m not sure they … Continue reading
Checked out the new Matt Damon flick Downsizing… a mis-marketed sci-fi comedy or satire or something about shrinking people to save the world. It’s not much of a comedy… though it is a satire… and the trailers are really not … Continue reading
