Movie Review – Blindspotting
—
I think this movie was great. The acting and lyrical performance of Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal were excellent. I hope there are nominations in their future. The movie itself touched on the two serious topics of police shootings and gentrification. I like this movie because it discussed the dual effect that each topic has…

Movie Review – Teen Titans Go!
I’ll try to stay away from spoilers, but let it be said of Teen Titans Go To The Movies! that there are hilarious references to the Marvel universe, along with a multitude of other jabs toward superheroes in general. The plot was typical of most animated movies about the good, the bad, and the ridiculous. Lots…

Movie Review – Mission Impossible Fallout
I re-watched the previous Mission Impossible movie — Rogue Nation — last night, and boy am I glad I did. MI: Fallout follows closely on the heels of the previous movie and if you, like me, haven’t watched it recently, you might want to give it a re-watch before heading out to see the sequel. If you don’t…

Movie Review – The Equalizer 2
I gave the first Equalizer movie an A+, so this one had a tough act to follow. Plus, I just rewatched the first movie last night before seeing EQ2, so it’s fresh in my mind. EQ2 is a very good movie, but not as good as the first. The action is about as good, with the…

That would be the Bronto Brew Meadery in San Diego. The owners are certified geeks, just like their patrons, and if that sounds like you, then you’re…

Why Hulk is a Big Weenie and Loki Isn’t
Loki, God of Mischief, once had a very bad day with the Hulk (“Puny God”), way back in the MCU’s 1st Avengers film. This is when our favorite anti-villain was the Big Bad. He’s come a long way since then. We saw, even as late as Thor: Ragnarok, that he’s still terrified of the Hulk,…

Everything Wrong With The Jurassic Movies (YouTube series)
YouTube has some ongoing series related to movies that are so clever and fun, like the Honest Trailers, or How It Should Have Ended. Here we have the Everything Wrong With shorts (each about 15 minutes). [pullquote]These are funny and insightful, and if some of the nits they pick are petty[/pullquote], even they admit some…

Movie Rewatch Review – Jurassic Park III
I finally made the effort to rewatch Jurassic Park III – something always came up to distract me, and I’m easily distracted if I don’t want to see the movie in question. But I’m glad I did it: the movie isn’t so bad once you’re aware of the retched parts. It’s like rewatching Star Wars:…
