“The Dog Stars” is a post-apocalyptic movie directed by Ridley Scott. Brought to you by a deadly flu, this movie begins with some “The Postman” vibes. The core cast is rather small, and some nameless extras fill out the rest. The trailer for this movie shows you some stampeding Buffalo, and the film delivers you…

“Coyote vs. Acme” is a mix of live action and animation, regarding a court case between Wile E. Coyote and Acme, over their defective products. Brought to you by legion M and Ketchup Entertainment, out of the dustbin of a tax write-off for Warner Brothers, this is a charming and enjoyable movie. Fans of Peter…

“Tony” is a biopic of Anthony Bourdain in his beginning. Everybody in this movie is a beautiful bastard, except for perhaps 3 people, who might be considered as ugly bastards. You might just be able to figure out who they are. Remember: black does not always mean burnt. You’ll get shown this once, before they…

“Nimrods” is a coming of age movie with Green Day as a backdrop. Produced by Green Day and Legion M, this was an enjoyable film. Soundtrack is by Green Day, and they don’t cock tease the band. Green Day does actually show up and perform at the end of the movie. One gag does get…

“The Brink of War” was a 1h 57m impulse watch of opportunity. Angel Studios, again. I’m not trying to make this a habit, I swear. This was not as bad as I was expecting. “Not great, not terrible.” Watchable.Somebody might even be able to classify this as a thriller on the Lifetime channel. That somebody…

So I was following the score of today’s baseball game of Red Sox versus White Sox, and holy shit. Six runs to zero by the second inning. Final score was 14 to 2, for the Red Sox. As a side note, I had the thought that this would have been a perfect game for the…

So as I mentioned around here before, I have begun recording the pre-show of the movies I go to at the theater. That half an hour of ads that drop in before the trailers. When I started doing this, I was viewing it as something that I could do to add stuff to my YouTube…

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day”clocks in at 2 hours 25 minutes, and you start to feel it a little bit. But like with Spider-Man movies in general, this was an enjoyable film. I didn’t feel much superhero fatigue, but there was some there. The bad guy in this film was reminiscent of the Denzel Washington film…

“The Invite” (2026) is directed and stars Olivia Wilde. Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz, and Seth rogen also star. Billed as a comedy, I’ll be damned if this was not written as a play in a previous life. It has all of the trappings and gimmicks of being a play, right down to the essay format.…
