Movie Review – Artemis Fowl, from a novel novice
Honestly, I have to ask: What WAS this? I’m told the Artemis Fowl books are top shelf, but the origin film is merely…meh. So I watched the movie with low expectations: usually that means I can walk out feeling somewhat sated. In this case, I was infuriated. How hard could it be for Disney to…

Groundhog Day Movie – Palm Springs (2020)
Palm Springs: this year’s entry in the Groundhog Day genre is a deft, satirical comedy with paradoxical hints of darkness and transcendence. There’s an unforced whimsy, with unheroic but likable characters. Everything unfolds at a languid rate, lobbing in more symbolic images than you can shake a can of beer at. Palm Springs is deeply…

There’s an E.T. sequel and it’s awesome
I just finished watching E.T. for basically the first time. I only saw it one time in 1982, and 38 years later didn’t remember anything beyond the “Phone Home” shtick.

Classic Movie Review – E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
What an enchanting film! E.T. The Extra Terrestrial is deservedly among the greats. Steven Spielberg proved he was mighty with the movie-making. Who else can take a goofy premise (suburban boy befriends gentle alien) and make it so compelling? So buoyant and wondrous. It seems like it would be a kiddie flick, but to be…

Classic Movie Review – Back to the Future
Back to the Future: Witty, exciting, memorable, perfectly cast, with sparkling chemistry, a fantastic score, and immensely quotable lines. Okay, done. Movie Grade: A+ Well, gosh darn daddy-o, I should probably pen a heavier review…okay, if you insist… There’s that word again, ‘heavy.’ Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with…
