The film, “Toy Story 5” was enjoyable. For those of us surprised that there are now 5 Toy Story movies, I’ll remind you that there are currently 14 installments of “The Land Before Time”, and I did not feel like asking where the asteroid is during this film. My local feeder likes to display an…

The film, “Disclosure Day” clocks in at 2h 25m, and I found it reasonably paced, in Spielberg fashion. Also in Spielberg fashion was the ineptitude of government agents, at least on the ground and field level. The first time this happened, it brought me out of the movie. “Dude, how are these guys not seeing…

The film “The Amazing Digital Circus” was an accidental double feature today, because I had a glitch in the matrix and could not tell time. It took me a half an hour to go back out and ask the fuck was going on. “You’re at the right place, you’re just 2 hours early.” And that’s…

The film, “Masters of the Universe”, although 2 hours 13 minutes long, was decently well paced. It was a good mix of swords and spaceships, pastels and cell phones, 2026 and 1983. Be ready for guitar for music. There is a mid credit scene, and an end credit scene. To close out the movie, we…

The film, “Backrooms” was actually pretty decent. Based on the creepypasta story series, this movie roots itself in themes of being stuck, as in being moribund. You are given a glimpse of the sharp blurry edge between acceptance and choosing to change, and what making the wrong choice will get you. I counted 2 jump…

The film “The Mandalorian and Grogu” is not what you might expect from either Star wars in general, or from what I’m guessing you may have heard in other reviews. I I’m not saying this is a perfect Star wars movie. I am also not saying it is the worst, I’ve seen that one. This…

The film “In the Grey” was something that got onto my radar thanks to a podcast episode. I hadn’t had any other marketing cross my radar for this film. We clock in at 1 hour 38 minutes of an anxiety machine. Questionable people going after other questionable people, and the movie progresses along a formula…

The Film “Mortal Kombat II” was a decent background movie. it clocks in at just under 2 hours, and it takes about half that time to throw you a few cords of the theme music commonly associated with this franchise. The moral of the story, should you choose to accept that there is one, is…

The film “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is a heartwarming 20-year sequel. Lady Gaga appears, as herself, and performs, as herself, and a real life journalist cameos as herself (blinking you miss it). Stanley Tucci’s character gets his limelight in the vein of the movies theme of recognition and reigniting the soul in both others…

The film “Michael” was a very decent biopic. You saw Michael Jackson, and you heard Michael Jackson. it follows him from boyhood onto his coming into his own as a musician, and performer. You see a little bit of the creative process, as well as some of the struggles with his father. I really enjoyed…
