6 Underground
Director Michael Bay (“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”) has always been know for his bombastic style of film-making and if you have seen any of his films you know what I mean. Bay never met an explosion he didn’t love. Bay’s latest directorial effort is “6 Underground” currently streaming on Netflix and starring Ryan Reynolds […]

BH 90210
“Beverly Hills, 90210” is back! If you were around in the 1990’s you know or heard about the show that became a hit in the world of pop entertainment. The Fox series began in 1990, and after watching the first episode, I became a fan. When I traveled to Los Angeles in 1992 I hoped to […]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I have never been a huge fan of director Quentin Tarantion’s work as goes a bit overboard with the violence in his films. However, I was willing to give his new film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, a viewing due to being fans of the two leads, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. The presence […]

The Lion King
While Disney seems determined to reboot every animated movie in their vast catalogue, it should come as no surprise they have released a “live-action” version of the 1994 blockbuster “The Lion King.” The mega hit is loved by all generations, and I’m surprise it took this long to see Simba and crew brought back to […]

Spider-Man: Far From Home
“Spider-Man Goes on Vacation”, I mean “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, is the latest film featuring the iconic web-slinger. The new film is set eight months after the events of “Avengers: Endgame”, and Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) is still distraught over the death of his good friend and mentor Tony Stark/Ironman. To get some relief from […]

Yesterday
Among the talking pets, superheroes, car chases, scary dolls, and stomping monsters of the summer movie season, there is a sweet little film now playing in theaters called “Yesterday”. The film is a fantasy/musical/comedy/romance, and stars Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a teacher who aspires to be a singer-songwriter. He is supported in his efforts […]

Murder Mystery
I’ll admit I have never been a fan of Adam Sandler. To me most of his “comedies” are childish and his voice and mannerism are ingratiating. Was that too harsh? Not really, after all celebrities open themselves up for criticism by being in the public eye, so Adam is fair game. On the other hand, […]

The Secret Life of Pets 2
I have always loved animated movies that entertain kids but are clever enough for adults to enjoy. Such is the case with “The Secret Life of Pets”, a computer-animated film that hit theaters in 2016. The film revealed to movie fans what could happen when owners leave they pets home alone. Party time! The film […]

Justice League vs. The Fatal Five
It’s time for me to geek out this week. Warner Brothers Animation has released a new DC Comics animated film featuring the Justice League, and I couldn’t be more happy as these films are very popular with not old kids but adults as well. The latest effort is “Justice League vs. The Fatal Five”, so […]

The iconic movie monster has been in countless films over the years, and was featured in an American adaptation in 1998. However, in the ’90’s film Godzillahad a very different look appearing […]
