  • Bridget Jones’s Baby

    This week’s review is “Bridget Jones’s Baby” – the first film, “Bridget Jones’s Diary” is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. I will watch it any time it’s on TV. The second one was a disaster that I even tried to find and rewatch before this and was thwarted as it appears to have…

  • 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. It’s easy to see how they’d fall in to a romantic entanglement in real life based on these roles. However in spite of their onscreen chemistry I found the film a little too bland and not…

  • The Hollars, Hellor High Water

    This week is “The Hollars” directed by John Krasinski and starring … John Krasinski, Margo Martindale, Richard Jenkins, Charlie Day, Josh Groban, Anna Kendrick, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead….. So basically everyone under the sun. Side note that John Krasinski and Margo Martindale are absolutely lovely in person and thankfully interviewing them was not a “never…

  • Kubo and the Two Strings, War Dogs, Ben-Hur

    Oh goodness, lots of thoughts on these films. I adored “Kubo and the Two Strings”. I thought it was gorgeous, well animated, and a wonderful original film. The plot had some hiccups at the end but I highly encourage folks to go see it. On the other hand I have to say while “War Dogs”…

  • Sausage Party, Pete’s Dragon

    LINK TO KFOG I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to talk about such an inappropriate movie. I also couldn’t say half the things I wanted to about “Sausage Party” on the air – cause you know… censors and such. Let me just say if you like Seth Rogen comedies, please go see this…

  • 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.

  • Justin Lin, John Cho Interview: Star Trek Beyond

    I was so excited to talk to director Justin Lin and actor John Cho about Star Trek Beyond, what Star Trek means, and #StarringJohnCho.

  • 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!
