“Heart of the Beast” is an appropriate film. I know that’s a weird way of phrasing things, and that’s okay. There’s nothing complicated about this movie; a guy and his dog in the wilderness with some PTSD. Add in a heart attack, a bear, a pack of wolves, a fallen tree bridge across a white…

“Resident Evil” (2026) is an enjoyable horror film, and addition to the franchise. You don’t need to know anything specific going into this film, and by now if you know the phrases “Raccoon City” & “Umbrella Corporation” you should know what you are getting into. Including the dog. There are elements of John Carpenter’s “The…

The Uprising” is a historical film based in real life. I went in partially blind. We start off with greed, take a left turn into an English prequel to the Reign of Terror, albeit at several centuries early and shorter lasting, and we end up with betrayal. We then take another left turn and find…

So this evening I had to drop a piece of official mail into a USPS blue box to ensure pickup. There is one of these boxes at my local Safeway complex a block away. My only obstacle on the way there was a plastic Sandwich board advertising free flu shots that jumped out at me…

About 10 to 15 years ago I was using a particular app on my tablet to look up local movie times and locations. That app got bought up by Fandango. Bummer, but okay. So I switched over to Fandango. About 5 to 7 years ago I discovered that my local theater has their own special…

“By Any Means” is the latest entry into civil rights historical films, set in 1960s Mississippi. The music was decently scored. The acting was decent enough, even from Mark Wahlberg. This is not “Mississippi Burning”, nor is it”A Time to Kill”.It felt a little bit like somebody took the TV show “In the Heat of…

So I was listening to a story on YouTube, and the narrator talks about a corded phone ringing, and he picks up and there’s “no dial tone”. The sound effect for the ringing telephone was.. a dial tone. This made me realize that perhaps kids these days don’t experience dial tones. Little Jimmy isn’t going…

“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…
