Movie Review – Once Upon A Deadpool
The Deadpool Before Christmas was hard to grade. I had to wonder if it’s better than the original Deadpool 2, if it added anything impressive to the canon, and if it’s worth spending your cash on what amounts to a re-tread of the same movie you saw last summer. For real Deadpool fans, this…

Virgin Movie Review – Jim Carrey’s The Grinch (2000)
Holy hell, this was directed by Ron Howard? Normally I love his touch. And as for Jim Carrey, I’ve always been a fan. Not with this. This is the Carrey equivalent of Bill Murrey’s Garfield: a true WTF? I imagine (and know for sure, based on my own great-niece’s preferences) some people like this Grinch.…

Movie Review – Schindler’s List
—
I honestly don’t know how to review this movie; everything that could be said has been said. I have nothing new to add nor take away. So, I’ll just express my feelings I had after watching this masterpiece. I watched Schindler’s List a few years after it came out, and some studio executive thought it…

Movie Review – Aquaman
What does DC have to do to shake off the feeling that it’s the poor man’s Marvel? For starters: make better movies. I’m not saying Aquaman is bad. Far from it. It’s a decent movie despite being as predictable as it is visually appealing. But it’s no better than the first Thor movie. Which would…

Virgin Movie Review – Planet of the Apes (2001)
Who knew Tim Burton could direct a grand scale epic adventure? I always thought his specialty was weirdos doing wacky things. But I was surprised and pleased with how much I enjoyed this 2001 version of Planet of the Apes, especially since I’m not impressed with the more recent trilogy. I also didn’t realize Mark…

Movie Rewatch Review – The Birdcage
When The Birdcage opened as a feature film in 1997, I don’t remember people being quite so terrified of gay men…so it surprised me, 21 years later, to see such fear in the hearts of the young straight couple to admit the groom-to-be had two fathers. Or, as this movie made clear, one male father,…

Movie Review – The Possession of Hannah Grace
—
Hollywood pulled off another movie that actually had me a little bit afraid. I’ll say I was very tense during some scenes. That sure doesn’t happen very often anymore. They did an incredible job of setting the tone of this horror flick. The ambiance was perfect; it kept you on the edge of your seat,…

Virgin Movie Review – Magic Stocking (half of it, maybe)
I didn’t realize this was one of those Hallmark Specials until I already had my workout pad and weights all spread on the floor and got comfy. (Yes, a little fitness routine during my evening shows is comfort food for me.) But when “HallMark’s Magic Stocking” came onscreen, I gave my mother the stink eye. What…

Virgin Movie Binge Review – Rocky V
Rocky V picked right back up after the last fight in Russia. He returns to America, and we learn Rocky has developed traumatic brain injury from the culmination of head impacts over the years, including his most recent fight with Ivan Drago. Rocky can no longer fight due to this, and must officially retire. We…
