It’s not as though The Criterion Collection doesn’t have its share of comedies or romantic films, let alone downright hilarious features. That in mind, seeing 1987’s Moonstruck enter the collection is the kind of move that will ideally not only help restore the value to be found in this Norman Jewison-directed, John Patrick Shanley-written romantic […]
Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean is one of the wonderful highlights of an under-appreciated chapter of director Robert Altman’s career. Between the box office disappointment of Popeye (1980) and the explosive comeback of The Player (1992), Altman returned to lower-budgeted, independent filmmaking, often boldly experimenting with how theatre work […]
One of my favorite and most frustrating times of the movie writing season is the end of the year “TOP X” lists. They are a lot of fun, but also hurt the brain when trying to weed through all the releases and then put them in a specific order. When it came to 2018, the […]
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again feels somewhat of a silent assassin from this summer’s box office. The film took in almost $125 million domestically and almost $450 million worldwide. Until Crazy Rich Asians, the film had a firm spot in the Top 10. Its almost like its predecessor, which was actually somewhat of a […]

The animals at the Franklin Park Zoo break their time-honored code of silence and reveal that they can talk in the family-friendly comedy Zookeeper, coming to Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, single disc Blu-ray, DVD and Digital October 11 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Kevin James (Grown Ups, Paul Blart: Mall Cop) is loveable zookeeper Griffin Keyes, […]
Let me start out by saying that I am a secret fan of Kevin James. I liked him in King of Queens on TV, in his movie roles such as Hitch, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Grown-ups, The Dilemma and so on. I’m not saying these titles are fantastic, but I didn’t feel like my skin […]
Norman Jewison’s Moonstruck paved the way for other culturally focused comedies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding where the story revolves around a large family who loves, fights, and eats together. In this case, the movie is about the Castorini family, an Italian brood that sticks together despite some problems which include infidelity, curses, and […]
MGM has a triple threat of films set to be released in a couple of weeks. Last Tango in Paris, Rain Man, and Moonstruck are coming to the Blu-ray format!

After […]
