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 checked out the new Child’s Play remake. Most remakes occur after a movie or series has been dormant for a half a decade at least… but the Child’s Play movies are still in production (even if only direct to … Continue reading
So I checked out Men In Black: International… that’s the fourth Men In Black movie (if you’re counting) and the first to not star Will Smith (or Tommy Lee Jones/Josh Brolin). They have swapped in Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth… … Continue reading
