Movie Review – F9 (The Fast & the Furious)
What can you say? The F&F movies follow a formula about family and trust and then one-upping the action from the previous installment. It’s been a while since I saw the previous F&F movie—Fate of the Furious—but my recollection was that the action in that movie was better than this one. I think they tried…

Best of British Biographies – Ian McKellen
—
Who’s the last actor to create a character written by Shakespeare? By that I mean who was the last person to get a part written by Shakespeare and be the first one to actually perform it. Edward Alleyn? David Garrick? William Kempe? You might be surprised to hear that it is none other than Magneto/Gandalf…

Movie Review – The House Next Door
—
The House Next Door was a total bummer. It sucked, get it? …that was a vampire reference. I was so disappointed that with such an awesome cast the movie was tedious and too long. I read quite a few reviews on this movie and they are all pretty much the same. Save your money and…

30th Birthday Rewatch – Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves (1991)
—
As an Englishman, you might think that I’d have the story of Robin Hood engraved upon my heart. The sad fact is that, while I can vaguely remember some details of the history of England going back to the Roman Invasion of 55BC led by Gaius Julius Caesar, I don’t remember any facts about Robin…

Indie Movie Review – Skinwalker
Skinwalker starts off by telling us that we are in the Arizona High Country in 1883. Two grizzled chaps, Benny (Nathaniel Burns) and Hugo (Robert Conway), are creeping through the woods, rifles drawn, looking like they’re out hunting — when they happen across what appears to be a body on a wooden trellis.

Movie Review – 12 Mighty Orphans
The release of 12 Mighty Orphans is perfectly timed for football fans out there clamoring for their football fix. Football news might encircle the calendar these days, but that only teases the appetite until games begin in the fall. Make no mistake, 12 Mighty Orphans is first and foremost an inspirational story, but there is…

Children’s Book Review – The Acorn People (1976)
The Acorn People is a very short, deeply memorable book everyone should read. At 80 pages, it tells an unsentimental, yet profoundly moving tale about one camp counselor’s experience at summer camp in the 1970s. His kids were all severely disabled. And all dying. Disabled and dying children, but still important. Modern movies like Sea…

What is the on-screen tribute at the very end of the credits of The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard?
—
Remember near the end of the movie Michael (Ryan Reynolds) selects two Interpol agents to help them? Those two agents turn out to be the decoys who get shot and then blow up when their boat hits a tanker, as Michael and Darius slowly make their way out to the yacht. After the end credits…
