Did you ever have an imaginary friend? I admittedly was never that much of an imaginative kid. I was far too rooted in reality. I pretended to believe in those particular holiday symbols. I gave up the sham about age 10. I don’t remember having an imaginary friend, and it was OK with me. But […]

The Bad Guys has been a series with me for a few years, having younger ones. My son has been into it for quite a while and when it came to the movie coming out I got to be a “I know what this is” asset to my film friends who had no idea where […]

Jojo Rabbit is one of those films that I unfortunately missed out on seeing last year in the theater. However, if I would have, this one would have definitely found a home in my Top 10 Films of 2019 HERE. Yes! Believe the hype. Jojo Rabbit is that good! Is it a war film, a […]

So I went to see Richard Jewell (2019) earlier this week. I remember seeing the trailer a month ago or so and being pretty intrigued by the premise of the film. What attracted me the most was the fact that the film was based on a true story… A true story I was unaware of, […]

Clint Eastwood’s latest film to tackle a hero who was unfairly scrutinized in the public eye is, for better or worse, exactly what you think it is. The story of a would-be lawman whose instincts to be overly cautious led to the discovery of a bomb that could have killed hundreds at a music fest […]

So I went to see Jojo Rabbit (2019) on the very first day of this month. I was very aware of this film coming out. I know on a few of my reviews I mention that “I had no idea this film was even coming out”; this is not the case with Jojo Rabbit (2019). The […]

Personally, this is my favorite “Star Trek” movie, and now it has something special for all. As it states: By Grabthar’s hammer, the intrepid crew of the NSEA Protector is back to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the uproarious classic GALAXY QUEST, arriving in our solar system September 17, 2019, in a Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Steelbook […]

Writer and director Martin McDonagh has hit big this year with his highly acclaimed and decorated third feature film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. It has been collecting hardware for the overall film as well as the performances of Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell, with Woody Harrelson receiving nominations for his role. Like many others, […]

Films do not need to provide easy answers to every question they bring up. Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri (a title that will never roll off the tongue) is a movie analyzing the plights of multiple characters and has no desire to let any of them off easy. In fact, the film practically revels in […]

Award-winning actress Frances McDormand (Fargo) delivers a stunningly powerful performance in this darkly comic drama that has been hailed as one of the year’s best films. A murdered girl’s defiant mother (McDormand) boldly paints three local signs with a controversial message, igniting a furious battle with a volatile cop (Sam Rockwell) and the town’s revered […]

What a year 2017 was and thanks to WhySoBlu and specifically head man Brian White the past year was one memorable movie loving time for yours truly. I got to see more films than any other previous year (by my calculation I only missed The Post and BPM – not bad!), keep the love of my […]

Since those top lists of ten are always popular columns, why not attach such a number to my weekly indie roundup? Yup, I’m tenaciously tackling a triumphant ten smaller cinematic flicks to give smaller film fare lovers a much needed critical head’s up. Tales of angry moms and their big billboards, curious teen gals with […]

This is the kind of movie where you really have to go into it with a sense of lightheartedness and fun. Mr. Right is by no means something one should take seriously at all. Now I’m not saying that this is a BAD thing. I’m simply trying to prepare you for some pretty wack stuff! […]

I want to thank The Martian for likely being part of the reason we are finally getting Ridley Scott’s Matchstick Men on Blu-ray. A timely big name director’s newest movie probably got Warner Bros to dig a little in their catalog for something from him that wasn’t out yet. The film original came out in […]

What a load of crap. The remake of “Poltergeist” is filled with bizarre and misguided choices. Instead of reimagining the original, which was promised a year ago, the filmmakers have instead produced a near shot-for-shot remake. They reimagined the names; maybe that’s what they were referring to. Oh, and you get to see what’s happening inside […]

I missed this one in the theaters due to the flooding in Austin, TX over the Memorial Day weekend so curiosity has the best of me in regards to this news and I at least want to check this one out to give it the benefit of the doubt. Finally! I get my wish! Fox […]

It can’t be easy to face a certain kind of pressure when it comes to remaking classic films. This updated take on ‘Poltergeist’ does not feel too much like a collaboration of great minds in an effort to make something new and different. Instead, it feels like the results of talented people making the best […]
