Thirty Years Just Flies By – Strictly Ballroom – A Rewatch Review
—
On 10th May 1992 a film was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and received a fifteen minute standing ovation. Then an agent from the Rank Organisation dashed in to snap up the UK film rights. It was the debut feature from a young Australian auteur who would go on to win awards for theatre,…

Movie Review – The Bob’s Burgers Movie
—
I’ll be honest, I had never heard of Bob’s Burgers before seeing the trailer a few months ago. I guess it’s a TV series on some network. I totally missed it. I looked up the rating on RottenTomatoes and it has a 98% so far from the audience. It looks like the fans of the TV…

Movie Review – Top Gun: Maverick
—
We have a self-imposed rule: each Peep gets to use an A++ grade once per year. There’s no question about it: I’m dropping my A++ bomb on this movie. I saw this with a friend and we were both blown away by how outstanding every aspect of this movie is. The acting, the story, the…

Movie Review – Top Gun 1986
—
Just as the same man cannot step into the same river twice, neither can the same movie critic review the same movie twice. The movie may not change, but the reviewer is never the same from one viewing to the next. Especially when there are about 30 years between viewings. I know from firsthand experience…

Movie Review – Men
—
I saw Men last night. It’s been twelve hours since I was sitting in my seat and I’m still confused by what I saw. I was hoping for an epiphany overnight but alas, I’m still scratching my head. It’s at this point in my review I would like to give a shout-out to the most…

Movie review-Love and Monsters
—
Love and Monsters is a delightful movie (Streaming on Amazon Prime Video) that is similar to Zombieland in many respects. The acting in Love and Monsters is refreshingly good, specifically by Dylan O’Brien (Maze Runner) who plays the main character Joel. The synergy between Michael Matthews (writer/director) and Dylan’s acting skills helped create a really well…

MCU Disney+ Review – What If…?
Believe it or believe it not, the stuff that gets written here does have the semblance of a plan about it. Despite being spread half way around the world and separated by several time zones we do take the opportunity to chat whenever we can. And we do manage to talk about things other than…

Movie Review – Memory
—
The easiest way to explain Memory is it’s a memory of all of Liam Neeson past movies. It’s Liam doing his thing like always. He still impressed me with his ability to crush the bad guys at 69 years old. That’s where the great stuff ends. I felt like the supporting cast fell flat. The…

Movie Review – The Bad Guys
—
The Bad Guys was super funny. The whole theater was laughing almost the whole time. What I find even better is that there was major humor but there was also a strong moral message. This movie would be great for children five and up. The message is very well stated in a manner that they would understand. For the…

Movie Review – The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
—
Where to start? This was such a fun movie from so many angles. Near the end of the movie I realized I had been smiling for who knows how long because everything was just so much fun. And it just makes me want to do a Nick Cage marathon and rewatch the classics: Raising Arizona, Con Air, The…
