The Giant James Bond Rewatch – License to Kill (1989)
The 1980s were a weird time. Children’s cartoons became both commercial and dark. A group of singing raisins released an album. MTV actually showed music videos. Jazzercise was a thing. And they made a Bond film that sucked all the joy out of the franchise. What I dislike about License to Kill Let me start…

Movie Review – Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
TL;DR Shang Chi was enjoyable, but not great. Visually appealing, whimsical, and has plenty of humor without being forced. For me, the most sensible way to grade an MCU movie is against the other MCU movies. Generally speaking, Shang Chi falls in the middle third for me. Not the cream of the MCU crop, but…

Indie Documentary Review – Last Call: The Shutdown Of NYC Bars
—
We all know about COVID-19. We’ve all been affected by it one way or another. Similarly, everybody has a viewpoint ranging from those informed by science and history to the bizarre and delusional.

—
I’ll admit to being confused. Let’s face it, I’m a gentleman of a “certain age” and befuddlement is never far away, but what had me addled here was the title. I didn’t know whether or not Like A Dirty French Novel had some other meaning over on the other side of the water. A bit like…

Movie Review – Candyman
Where do I start? I’ve been staring at my screen for about an hour trying to come up with a review. I asked the man in charge (my brother, the CEO/Founder) if I could simply put “Meh.” That’s about it. He’d like a little more, so here it goes. Tony Todd as the Candyman. There…

Movie Review – Reminiscence
—
This movie had the potential to be great, yet it was just okay. Don’t take me wrong, I enjoyed it. Especially the great performances by Hugh Jackman, Thandiwe Newton, and Rebecca Ferguson. Bonus points for Asian actor Daniel Wu, who was the Prince Charming in every girl’s dream back in the 2000s in China. I…

Movie Review – The Night House
—
What a disappointment! The previews that I’ve been seeing had me really excited to see The Night House. It looked like it was going to deliver us something new and fresh. I think they tried but it fell so flat for me that I was tempted to leave. It was torture finishing it up. I’m…
