My nerdiness is going to be showing on this one… I will freely admit to being a recently developed “trekkie”. After growing up an avid Star Wars fan then enduring the prequels (which were great when I was in middle school but not so great once I hit high school), I was a prime targetContinue reading “Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)”

No one will be seated during the dumb comedy portion of my blog. After “That’s my Boy”, I probably should avoid this one, but Paul Rudd is so dang funny. I admit… I have seen this one in the past, but I am pretty sure it was on one of those shady streaming sites withContinue reading “Wanderlust (2012)”

Today’s blog is my first foray into animated films. You might be wondering “why are you reviewing a straight-to-DVD film when you have so many other live-action movies to do?” That is a fair question, to which I will respond “shut up, I love Batman and I felt like it”. When it comes to thisContinue reading “Batman: Gotham By Gaslight (2018)”

I feel like I need to be honest here… I find something intriguing about Matthew McConaughey’s 2000 era. The movies are all generally bad, but the fact that this guy somehow pivots into the McConaugh-ssaince from 2010-2020 is insane. He went through a decade of just horrible films, only to come out the other sideContinue reading “Failure To Launch (2006)”

Before you completely turn off your brain or wonder if I’ve gone insane for watching this movie, you gotta hear me out… Andy Samberg is hilarious. I don’t expect great things from this movie, in fact, this is a movie I am fairly sure got throttled on Rotten Tomatoes… but Andy Samberg is hilarious!!! IContinue reading “That’s My Boy (2012)”

Today I’ve decided to watch 2011’s “Cowboys & Aliens”, a comic based action-science fiction film starring Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, and Harrison Ford. When this was being marketed back in the day, I was pretty hyped to see this one. I never read the comic, but the “Sci-fi meets Old West” concept is something thatContinue reading “Cowboys & Aliens (2011)”

I am pretty excited for tonight’s movie, if only because I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I know that Steve McQueen is probably one of the coolest actors in old Hollywood, but beyond the trailer (which gives absolutely nothing away about the story, unlike a lot of today’s trailers), the only thing IContinue reading “Bullitt (1968)”

2020 has been a really weird year for movies. First off, the House of Mouse was taking a down year, with only “Black Widow” from Marvel on the schedule and Star Wars on a hiatus for a bit. That meant that we finally were going to have a year where some other studios could getContinue reading “Project Power (2020)”

Today’s film is going to be “Anger Management”, the Adam Sandler movie from the early 2000’s. This movie has the special standing in my life as being the first DVD I ever actually owned back in 2004. I currently own about 500 different DVDs/BluRays, and that number has even decreased in recent years when IContinue reading “Anger Management (2003)”

Everyone seems to love this movie, but to this point I haven’t seen it. It’s been on my list for several months at this point, but I’ve never had the opportunity and the proper motivation to sit down an watch it. It appears to be a “dad movie”, meaning that its one of those thingsContinue reading “Ford v. Ferrari (2019)”
