The Safdie Brothers made a nice jump onto the scene a couple years back with their rough and tumble thriller, GoodTime. Not only did they make someone what of a critical cult hit, the film also took note for its outstanding performance from Robert Pattinson (Adding such humor to the people who don’t seem to […]

I’m calling it. 2019 was the best end of the decade year since 1999. If I had the time, I could have easily made a list of 25 or maybe even 50 films. The MCU came to a conclusion (for now) with the fantastic crowd pleaser and box office record-breaker Avengers: Endgame. Studio pics and one particular […]

I really wanted to love this movie. I really did. Although the special effects are very amazing and rather stunning; it is the same old same old Happy Madison movie formula. Sandler is the hero who doesn’t have self-confidence, James is the best friend who does believe in the hero and serves as a moral […]

The Cobbler is the latest film from writer/director Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor, Win Win). It stars Adam Sandler as a shoemaker who acquires magical powers. Yes, that makes it sound like something fairly dim and fitting of Sandler’s more outlandish crop of films, but this is not a Happy Madison production. As […]

Here’s one that I am still curious about, despite what I have heard: Image Entertainment, an RLJ Entertainment brand, brings you THE COBBLER. Directed by Tom McCarthy, the film has an all-star cast including Adam Sandler (Click, Grown Ups 2), Steve Buscemi (HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”), Cliff “Method Man” Smith (The Sitter) and Ellen Barkin (Oceans […]

Labor Day aside, I am a big fan of the films from Jason Reitman (Up In The Air, Juno, Young Adult), so I tend to get excited for whatever he has coming our way. Men, Women & Children has me curious. While I feel the film Disconnect handled a similar topic just last year, the idea […]

When it comes to the films of Adam Sandler, critics either have their negative review written before they see the film or just avoid the movie all-together. Personally, I can’t say I’m a big fan, but I’m sort of indifferent. Back in the 90s and early 2000s he made a good handful of movies I […]

Either Sony Pictures just could not get enough films together for panels this year or they are still recouping from the expenditures from Spider-Man’s appearance at last year’s Comic Con, but regardless, this was a pretty stripped down affair for a studio that currently has a couple square blocks devoted to a number of their upcoming features […]

Although I’m not a huge fan of animated films or of Adam Sandler comedies in general, I couldn’t resist the bite of Hotel Transylvania. I loved it! It was what they would refer to as a ghoulishly good time. And now I get to relive it all over again next January. Isn’t life good? Sure […]
