A movie that purports to be a romantic comedy, The Best You Can, about a woman married to an older man who develops a relationship with a local security officer, is empty and disappointing. I am old enough to clearly remember when Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon got married. She was one of the most…
A tedious romantic drama about various people in various relationships, Regretting You is long, drawn out, and the definition of its title. Between Once Upon A Time, Gifted, and Young Sheldon, I feel like I’ve watched McKenna Grace grow up on screen. Most of us have seen her in something – she has already had…
An inane film about a shallow modern matchmaker who is looking for the perfect rich guy, Materialists is not one to waste your time with. Looking at the movie poster, I was already wary. Not knowing anything about the film other than it appears that Dakota Johnson is choosing between Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans,…
Based on a Tony winning play, The History Boys, about a group of teenage boys trying to achieve entrance into university, is different than it seems to be. Being the theatre nerd that I am, I had heard about The History Boys and added it to my watchlist years ago. The film is based on…
A lifeless third installment of the series, Magic Mike’s Last Dance has a few entertaining dance numbers, but minimal anything else. I remember when the first Magic Mike movie was released, and it was all the rage. Women flocked to the theaters and it was all anyone was talking about for a short time. I…
A film about machines arriving on earth to attack the world, War Of The Worlds 2025 is so incredibly bad that it’s literally laughable. I will admit, I gave into peer pressure here. I keep hearing rumblings about how bad this movie is, so I had to see for myself. Well, I’m here to tell…
A film that is a great definition of “fine,” Riff Raff has an excellent cast that is underutilized and a story that is unsure where it’s going. Occasionally you find a movie that has such an excellent cast on the poster that you have to watch it. There is no reason that it shouldn’t be…
A movie that seems to be rated highly, but I’m not sure why, Husbands is about three men who lose a friend and go on several unstructured misadventures. I watch a lot of movies based on recommendations from random lists, people, and Letterboxd reviews. They run the gamut as far as theme and decade, but…
Love Hurts, a dark comedy that centers around Valentine’s Day, is so cringe that even the endearing presence of Ke Huy Quan can’t save it. I love Ke Huy Quan. He was one of my imaginary friends as Data in The Goonies when I was a kid and I have loved watching his comeback in…
I would have thought that a movie starring Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen would have been really interesting and engaging. Unfortunately, with Closer, I was wrong. There are some films that seem promising, have a great cast, and an intriguing premise that just end up to be duds. This is a…
I haven’t been more disappointed in a film in a long time. My love for Paul Dano drove me to watch it, but The Extra Man never lived up to what it could have been. When you start a film, you get a good feel for what it is going to be in the first…
I have a rule for myself that I always finish movies, but if I didn’t, Napoleon never would have gotten finished. Or maybe it would have because of the laughs. This movie hurts me. We’ve all heard of Napoleon Bonaparte, the French warrior who fought in and won many battles, and was both general and,…
