You want surreal? You want bizarre? You want a very funny film that crosses the border into the strangely absurd? You got it! Like many WTH films (The Lobster, Brazil, Video-drome, Naked Lunch, etc) this movie operates within an alternate-universe filled with ever-changing billboards, wacky TV shows, and present-day slavery. * Enter the odd world…
This movie marks the first time Denzel Washington has ever done a sequel. Ever. Doesn’t seem likely in a career that spans some 40 plus years in television, film, and the stage, but it’s true! Does this mean he’ll soon be making sequels for The Magnificent Seven? Flight? Inside Man? Hmmmmmm… * Based on the…
In almost all animated films, part three of a series means only one thing: road trip! Shrek, Despicable Me, Madagascar, etc., all have followed this same pattern and so has this movie franchise. Looks like Dracula & family are taking a vacation aboard a luxury cruise liner. Hey, what could possibly go wrong? * In…

It’s a sequel to 2015’s highly successful Ant-Man that entered the MCU with a bang. This movie is set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. * Who knew…
When I saw the trailers for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, I got a weird case of déjà vu; didn’t I just see this (i.e. people fleeing from dinosaurs) in 2015’s Jurassic World? Then it hit me, it’s the same plot for every single Jurassic movie since 1993. I guess it’s asking too much to change…
Based on a true story of ten middle-aged guys that kept playing ‘tag’ for 23 years and even videotaped their goofy exploits. This is also the movie where, after doing major stunts on actioners like The Avengers and Jason Bourne, Jeremy Renner fractured both his wrists doing this comedy. Hey, making a movie is dangerous!…
