    For the first time in a long time I am not stoked about a new “Star Wars” film. This week is “Solo: A Star Wars Story” – spoiler free of course. The Ethan Hawke vehicle, “First Reformed” and what should be a required viewing piece, “RBG.” I was apprehensive about “Solo: A Star Wars Story”…

    My boy Ryan Reynolds is back as Wade Wilson in “Deadpool 2”! But does it live up to the first? Ryan Reynolds is back as the Merc with a Mouth in “Deadpool 2”, as are Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead, T.J. Miller’s Weasel, Leslie Uggams’ Blind Al, and everyone’s favorite cab driver,…

    This week brings the latest Melissa McCarthy comedy, “Life of the Party.” I actually like Melissa McCarthy. I get a little tired of the roles she takes sometimes because I think she’s capable of doing comedy that isn’t just about size or homeliness. This film is a step in that direction, with the comedy centering…

    This week brings the third Jason Reitman/Diablo Cody collaboration, “Tully”, the criminal thriller “Bad Samaritan” and the “Overboard” remake. “Tully” stars Charlize Theron as a mom trying her best to make things work.

    This week brings an event 10 years and 18 films in the making, “Avengers: Infinity War”! (spoiler free of course, which is why it’s a rather short review) and I finally see Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs.” Marvel fans rejoice, “Avengers: Infinity War” is finally here. It’s a great ride if you’re a Marvel fan.…

    This week brings three very different films with Amy Schumer’s “I Feel Pretty,” Broken Lizard’s “Super Troopers 2” and A24’s “Lean on Pete.” I can only in good conscience recommend one of them. Amy Schumer’s “I Feel Pretty” features some mega comedy talent, but a premise that makes me slightly ill. To message out that…

      This week brings two very different stories fueled by rage, “Rampage” and “Borg vs McEnroe.” Even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson couldn’t save “Rampage” from itself. Based on the 1986 video game, it stars Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Malin Akerman, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jake Lacy, Joe Manganiello, Will Yun Lee, and a giant CG albino…

      This week brings two very different but very good films! John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place” and the comedy known as “Blockers.” Krasinksi continues to improve as a director with each film he makes. His horror debut “A Quiet Place” is one of the few horror films of the past few years I’ve seen willingly.…

    I had the chance to chat with Greg Sestero (oh hai Mark!) about his complicated collaborative history with Tommy Wiseau.
