Also saw What Men Want, the not-really-reboot-remake of Mel Gibson’s What Women Want… but kind of is. I guess. Not sure if this is officially a remake or if someone just took the plot and did a gender swap and … Continue reading
Checked out the new Netflix Original art scene satire / horror movie Velvet Buzzsaw. Not a movie on my radar; didn’t see the trailer, gave it a shot based on some simmering buzz. Wasn’t pleased by the result. It’s … Continue reading
Rented the DC animated movie Reign of the Supermen off iTunes the other day. This is the direct sequel to their Death of Superman animated flick from last year. Set shortly after Superman is “killed” by Doomsday, the film … Continue reading

Checked out the amazingly titled (if, by amazing, I mean boring) Mark Wahlberg actioner Mile 22. Or 23. Or Generic Movie Title, Hope You Don’t Forget It. This film is directed by the same fella who made three other recent … Continue reading
Finally checked out the new movie Christopher Robin, the dark, brooding sequel to the Winnie the Pooh movies. Now, I have little affection or nostalgia for Winnie the Pooh, though I do believe I must have watched or read the … Continue reading
