I don't review a lot of animated movies, because quite frankly most of them aren't made for me. I go see plenty of them with my kids, but from so many of them are geared strictly towards kids and aren't very good from an adult standpoint so why bother? But occasionally one will resonate with … Continue reading Movie Review – Cars 3
Some thoughts on The Last Jedi
Ok, if you're like me you saw the trailer and you're ready to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi RIGHT NOW. But unfortunately we have to wait until December 15. So for now, enjoy this poster.

RIP Carrie Fisher
One of the first movies I remember going to see on a big screen was Star Wars.

Movie Review – Ghostbusters (2016)
I got around to seeing the new Ghostbusters movie this weekend; I spelled out in my previous post about how I went from uninterested to wanting to see it. So was it worth the impulse purchase of tickets? Were the 'bro' naysayers right in their judging without seeing of the film? Is it sequel worthy? … Continue reading Movie Review – Ghostbusters (2016)
The Ghostbusters Drama
I think we may have reached peak nonsensical nerdrage with this whole hating on the new Ghostbusters movie thing.
