Like George Washington once said I cannot tell a lie. I haven’t told many people this, but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my most anticipated movie of 2019. I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve been waiting an eternity for another Tarantino film to release. Also, for the life of […]

Backdraft has often been one of those movies for me that I forget about. For whatever reason, despite the fact that the film is engaging, well acted and steadfastly directed, I always sock it away somehow. The funniest part to me is that despite it going left of my attention a lot of the time, […]

When I first sat down to work on this movie review prior to seeing the actual movie itself this spring I thought to myself what a wonderful world. LOL. I am kidding. I pondered about what they can do in this outing that hasn’t been done in the previous seven ones. I must admit I was a […]

Franchise evolution is what keeps gas in the tank for a blockbuster film series.
