Movie Review: Wargames
If you're an 80s kid you remember that one of the most prevalent topics was that of nuclear war. We were the last generation to really have it put in our faces as a real possibility, and while we weren't doing the useless drills that our parents were to protect ourselves - hiding under your … Continue reading Movie Review: Wargames
Movie Review – Get On Up
With Chadwick Boseman's untimely passing I felt compelled to check out one of his movies that did not involve him playing Black Panther. This one was on an HBO free preview, so it won out. The story starts flipping back and forth between James early childhood and some of his performances during his early career, … Continue reading Movie Review – Get On Up
Movie Review – Hancock
Hancock is one of those movies that was perpetually on my list of Movies I Should Get Around to Watching. When it was in theaters and long after it left I had every intention of checking it out. I even bought it on DVD and let it collect dust for several year until I got … Continue reading Movie Review – Hancock
Movie Review – Birds of Prey
Not writing the whole title out, sorry not sorry I missed this one in the theater, but I did finally get around to watching it at home as part of my social distancing TV programming. Unfortunately for all involved it greatly underperformed at the box office, grossing just under $202 million worldwide on an $84 … Continue reading Movie Review – Birds of Prey

Movie Review – Spider Man: Far from Home
If you read my review of Spider-Man: Homecoming (if you haven't, it's right here) then you know about my reluctance to buy all the way in on how they're doing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But after two more chances to see Tom Holland's take on Spidey in Infinity War and Endgame, I've … Continue reading Movie Review – Spider Man: Far from Home
Movie Review – Captain Marvel
I was late to the party for this one in that I didn't get to see it in the theater but I just watched it a few times On Demand and I had some thoughts so I figured why not share them here? I'd heard differing opinions on it; some people I talked to absolutely … Continue reading Movie Review – Captain Marvel
Movie Review – Godzilla King of Monsters
The good All things monster related were just wonderful. Godzilla, Ghidorah, and Rodan all looked great and Mothra was truly a sight to behold. I have long advocated for the old cheesy rubber suits over CGI laden attempts at realism but I finally relent now. They did all of the big 4 justice with the … Continue reading Movie Review – Godzilla King of Monsters
Movie Review – Bumblebee
Bumblebee is the sixth film in the Transformers movie series, which was badly in need of a turnaround after the fifth installment The Last Knight didn't meet expectations at the box office. Now the movies had been getting crushed by critics, bloggers, etc for some time but had been bulletproof until then even as it … Continue reading Movie Review – Bumblebee
