Sully, Kicks
This week is the retelling of the real life story of the “miracle on the Hudson” aka the story of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. It’s starring Tom Hanks and directed by Clint Eastwood, and as much as I admire both of them, I have to wonder do we really need a movie of this so…

The Light Between Oceans
This week was “The Light Between Oceans” starring (current/subject to change) real life couple Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander.

Suicide Squad, Don’t Think Twice
So clearly I didn’t dislike “Suicide Squad” as much as everyone else appears to have… It’s far from a perfect or even amazing film, but it’s nothing like Batman vs Superman (in a good way) and I didn’t have a bad time at it. “Don’t Think Twice” made me cringe in a “they definitely captured…

Jason Bourne
LINK TO KFOG This is another one in the summer of “I’m not sure why we need this sequel” but there are some fun action moments.

Star Trek Beyond
LINK TO KFOG As a huge Trekkie I was very excited to see this film, also was grateful to have the opportunity to interview the director (Justin Lin) and Hikaru Sulu since 2009 (John Cho) for Talks at Google!

LINK TO KFOG This week was “The Secret Life of Pets” and “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” while I didn’t dislike the former, I personally enjoyed the latter far more. Hear why in the audio review!
