    Ryan Coogler kicks ass and takes names with his Marvel directorial debut. Chadwick Boseman returns as T’Challa, and is joined by Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Sterling K. Brown, Forest Whitaker, and Angela Basset. Oh yeah and I guess Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis are there too… Wakanda Forever!…

      ​The “Fifty Shades” franchise continues to break records with me, and not in a good way.  This is the third and hopefully final of these trash heaps. I don’t understand the appeal of these films, but this one in particular seems the least sexy of them all. Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson return, as…

      ​This week’s review is “Taken”… on a train. Aka “The Commuter” Okay it’s a little more complex than just “Taken” on a train, but still, this Liam Neeson action film feels like a rip off. Even with the usually decent cast of Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Jonathan Banks, Sam Neill, and Elizabeth McGovern,…

      In which you never look at a peach the same way again…  ​Fresh off their Oscar nominations, I fianlly get to talk about “Call Me By Your Name.” I’d been hearing about this film for ages, which probably set my expectations a little bit too high, but all in all the film was very…

      This week brings the war film “12 Strong” and Daniel Day-Lewis swan song “Phantom Thread”. “12 Strong” is a pretty cookie cutter war film, except it takes place in modern day and there are horses… That’s about it. Stars Chris Hemsworth, Michael Pena, Trevante Rhodes, and Michael Shannon all do fine jobs, but the…

      Did “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” deserve to win the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Drama? Not in my books. I was however pleasantly surprised this week by the charming “Paddington 2.” Don’t get me wrong, I thought “Three Billboards” was good, I thought Frances McDormand definitely deserved her Golden Globe. However I…

      The first review of the new year brings some award hopefuls. There’s “The Post” from Steven Spielberg and “I, Tonya” starring Margot Robbie. “The Post” boasts an impressive pedigree, with Spielberg directing, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, Michael Stuhlbarg, Alison Brie, Bruce Greenwood and David Cross starring. However it feels like…
