One of the more talked about films this year, for all the wrong reasons, was Olivia Wilde’s sophomore effort Don’t Worry Darling. People seemed to want to care about anything but the film itself and were predetermined to not like it upon release for things that have nothing to do with what the finished product […]

2019 saw the return of one of the first American families of horror; The Addams Family (The other being The Munsters). It marked their return after a 21 years absence (Canadian TV Show The New Addams Family and direct-to-video sequel Addams Family Reunion both in 1998), and the first feature film in theaters since 1993’s […]

You may not have known it, but Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler starred in a comedy together this year. It was The House, the kind of film that takes a fun premise and drowns it in extended takes that yield the funniest isolated results but don’t do much to make the film gel together as […]

Huzzah or should I say tra la laaa! for another solid superhero movie this month. I have no familiarity with the Captain Underpants children’s book series, but I’m all for a film that can turn juvenile humor into an enjoyable, colorful and clever animated comedy about friendship and being yourself. That’s about as deep as it gets and while […]

Illumination Entertainment, the animation studio most known for those darn Minions. Actually, I enjoy the Despicable Me films, its just the one that focused on the little side characters was a giant waste of time (Though, I’m sure those seven and under probably loved it). While that’s the flagship, they’ve actually carved quite a remarkable […]

With Loving there comes a certain expectation that writer/director Jeff Nichols is not out to provide. The historical drama surrounds an event that led to the invalidation of state laws prohibiting interracial marriage. This seems like the typical kind of film to automatically receive awards consideration. Regardless of if it does or doesn’t, Nichols is […]

Sausage Party, which sort of made its premiere at SXSW this year, is one film I purposely missed out on theatrically this year. I know I’m not alone in my way of thinking. The overall consensus is very split on this one too. Either people seem to love it or others outright hate it like […]

To be a fan of The League, you don’t need to know much about fantasy football, or sports at all. You just need to have friends that you hate. The ensemble comedy follows a group of old friends in a fantasy football league who care very deeply… about beating each other for bragging rights. The […]

Sausage Party is the worst, least funny comedy I have ever seen. It is full to the brim with lazily written, stereotyping, racist, sexist, homophobic, reference-heavy, swear-ridden “jokes” that try way too hard to seem either controversial or profound and just end up being nothing. There is nothing to like about this film. I chuckled […]

Drunk History is the brain child of Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner. Apparently inspired by drunk ramblings of New Girl star Jake Johnson during a night out. It originally was produced and air on the comedy website Funny Or Die. In 2013, the web show was brought to the television format on Comedy Central. It […]

Get set for another outrageously inappropriate bout of fantasy football madness with Season Five of The League, including 11 UNRATED extended episodes. After the draft at Andre’s bachelor party nearly derails his wedding, Rafi plots Kevin’s death, Taco tries life without weed, Pete pays Ruxin the ultimate disrespect, and Kevin and Jenny’s “sexiversary” celebration ends […]

For those unaware, ‘Sunny’ follows the insane and hilarious shenanigans of four friends and Danny DeVito (probably the […]
