Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (2022)
Nobody two people ever really see the same movie, despite looking at exactly the same images. It is the fascinating mystery of the cinema’s effect on the human brain. Our noggins are so wired into expectation but never-the-less we are all separated by experience. We see what we want to see, and no one ever […]
DC League of Super-Pets (2022)
DC League of Super-Pets gets by on a lot of cuteness. It is adorable, and funny in a laid-back sort of way that puts a smile on your face. And, y’know, given the morbid tone of its concurrent DC output, they could use it. I just reviewed Black Adam a few days ago and found to […]
Unholy Relics: Appreciating the Goofy Charm of ‘Batman the Movie’ at 55
As a movie and as a TV series “Batman” belongs in a time capsule, not of Batman lore but of a loving tribute to the pop sensation of the swinging 60s. To watch it again after almost 50 years is to be reminded of a time when television – and for that matter pop culture […]
The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
The timing may be tricky for The Secret Life of Pets which has the misfortune of arriving in the shadow of Finding Dory, a surprise hit that has already raked in over $400,000,000 domestic. That film, which has been at the top of the charts for the past two weeks surprised everyone not only by […]
Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
As a critic, this is where I am suppose to tell you that Independence Day: Resurgence is just another needless sequel propped up for the summer box office. Most critics have already jumped on that overcrowded train, but I’ll just stay here at the station and report that it would be impossible for this to […]
Finding Dory (2016)
I swear I mean this as a compliment; Finding Dory is the most entertaining needless sequel that you’ll see this summer. It’s true, this sequel wasn’t entirely necessary but if anyone could do it and still make an unnecessary movie that was still entertaining and fun, it had to be Pixar. For me, that has […]
Keanu (2016)
Keanu might very well be the cutest violent action comedy that I’ve ever seen. Seriously, it’s adorable. It features a kitten that draws the “awwwww” from the audience every time it mews, but it’s surrounded by violence at every turn. There’s a moment in this movie when we see a severed hand in the foreground […]
