Checked out (blindly) the new sports film (produced by Tim Tebow, apparently) Run the Race. Sports – and christian – film as it turns out. Run the Race is about a poor family in Florida where the eldest son … Continue reading
Checked out the new WWE produced wrestling bio-pic/comedy/sports movie Fighting with My Family. Apparently based on the true story of the female wrestler from England “Paige” (named after the Charmed character). I’m not a fan of professional wrestling through I … Continue reading

Checked out the new Liam-Neeson-Is-a-Snow-Plow-Driver-On-A-Revenge-Quest movie Cold Pursuit. You know, that old chestnut. How many times must we see snow plow revenge movies? Seriously. 🙂 Anyhow, Cold Pursuit is an odd film that IS about a snow plow driver … Continue reading

Went to see the Dick Chaney bio-pic Vice…. and with a title like Vice (and not, say, Vice President), you can probably imagine that this isn’t a positive portrayal of the ex-VP. That’s an accurate stance… you might even call … Continue reading
Finally made myself go see the new Clint Eastwood movie The Mule. “Made myself” not because I don’t like Eastwood as an actor and director, but because the trailer had him pronounce “pecan” in two different ways! And, yes, that’s … Continue reading
