The SNL musical sketch the Blues Brothers spawned two movies: One in 1980 and one in 1999. And while I’ve never been to Chicago, it’s my understanding that they are something of an icon there having several statues built for them (anyone who’s been to Chicago or from Chicago feel free to correct me on … Continue reading A mission from god: A Blues Brothers double review

The Shrek movies: The rise and fall of the jolly green ogre
The Shrek movies made quite a splash for Dreamworks back in the day with their own unique spins on the fairy tale stories and characters. And these days they’ve been associated with several Internet memes. Unfortunately, even at its best I can’t find myself enjoying Shrek on the same level such as the Toy Story … Continue reading The Shrek movies: The rise and fall of the jolly green ogre
Ghost Dad Review
Curtis: Evil Master! Your wallet! Beware: Spoilers may follow. All right let’s do this one last time: Bill Cosby was a great comedian...on television. His experiences acting in movies on the other hand completely sucked with bomb after bomb. And we found out years down the road he was a rapist. And now it’s pretty … Continue reading Ghost Dad Review
Suicide Squad review
Deadshot: We're some kind of Suicide Sqad? Beware: Spoilers may follow. While Batman v. Superman may have been a disappointment, that wasn’t about to stop Warner Bros from trying to establish their own cinematic universe just as Marvel has done. Thus five months later we got this movie. It had a very different tone from Batman v. … Continue reading Suicide Squad review
Michael Bay’s Transformers: More than meets the eye, robot crap in disguise
Somewhere in your childhood you probably have heard of the Transformers. Maybe you watched the cartoons, maybe you played with the toys, or maybe you watched the 1986 movie. But if there was ever a bad place to hear about the Transformers, the Michael Bay movies would probably be it. These movies were just plain … Continue reading Michael Bay’s Transformers: More than meets the eye, robot crap in disguise
Venom Review
Venom: We... are Venom! Beware: Spoilers may follow. When I first heard Sony was going to be making a Venom movie I was honestly curious. Venom is without a doubt one of Spider-Man's greatest foes in the comics. He had quite the stories in them and I was interested in just how Sony would be able to … Continue reading Venom Review
Kangaroo Jack Review
Sal Maggio: Were these Medieval Times and you, a knight in shining armor, you would have, I have no doubt, slayed the maiden and saved the dragon. Beware: Spoilers may follow. You know a lot of those family comedy movies you watched as a kid REALLY don't hold up. And today we’re going to take … Continue reading Kangaroo Jack Review
That’s My Boy review
Vanilla Ice: Man, listen, Queen took 50 percent, Suge took the other 60 percent. I fuckin' *owe* money when that shit gets played, man! Beware: Spoilers may follow. I usually hate to review bad comedies because there are only so many ways to say “this isn’t funny” over and over again. And bad raunchy comedies … Continue reading That’s My Boy review
Fantastic (and not so fantastic) Beasts: A double review
Somewhere in your life you’ve probably been exposed to the Harry Potter series. Some only saw the movies while some both read the books and watched the movies. Some were happy with what was translated to the big screen some weren’t. I belong to that category that did read the books and was happy for … Continue reading Fantastic (and not so fantastic) Beasts: A double review
Sucker Punch Review
Wise Man: This is your journey, if you succeed, it will set you free Beware: Spoilers may follow. To be frank, Zack Snyder is not a great director. There I said it. Come at me. When it comes to visuals, cinematography, and fight scenes, he’s great but when it comes to orchestrating a clear plot … Continue reading Sucker Punch Review
The Avengers (1998) Review
Sir August De Wynter: Nothing is impossible, only mathematically improbable. Beware: Spoilers may follow. Today we’re going to talk about The Avengers. Ah yes Marvel’s first big team up that closed one door and—wait this is not the movie and I’ve already done it *voice whispers*. Huh? This is the Avengers? From 1998? Okay, this … Continue reading The Avengers (1998) Review
I’ll Be Home for Christmas Review
Eddie: Hey jingle balls! Move your candy canes! Beware: Spoilers may follow Jonathan Taylor Thomas was something of an icon during the 90s. Coming off his role in Home Improvement, he took his shot at movies which resulted in mostly stinkers. And among the worst of them being the holiday movie we’re discussing today. So what better … Continue reading I’ll Be Home for Christmas Review
Top 5 best MCU villains
Over the years, while the MCU has certainly done well in translating their heroes to the big screen, they haven’t always done well in doing the same for their villains. Performance-wise they’re mostly fine but they aren’t always the most compelling. Heck it got to the point where sometimes I’d just call them disposable MCU … Continue reading Top 5 best MCU villains
Saving Christmas Review
Christian: Santa...is the man! Beware: Spoilers may follow A lot of people can save Christmas, can’t they? Inspector Gadget, Ernest, Felix the Cat, just to name a few. But of all the people to save Christmas this by far the worst person for the job. Like most faith-based Christmas movies, this is not a good … Continue reading Saving Christmas Review
Christmas With the Kranks Review
Nora: We skip Christmas?! Beware: Spoilers may follow. Christmas traditions come in many forms. Some people honor them, some people don’t. Some traditions everlast while some die out. And that’s OKAY! But not according to this movie. It’s based off a book called Skipping Christmas and while I’ve never read it, if this movie is … Continue reading Christmas With the Kranks Review
Eight Crazy Nights Review
Davey Stone: Smell ya later, poopsicle. Beware: Spoilers may follow. You know Chanukah is not a holiday that much represented in the world of cinema. Alas the only major Chanukah movie out there is this animated piece of crap starring Adam Sandler. The man has certainly made some good movies in the last couple … Continue reading Eight Crazy Nights Review
Last Ounce of Courage Review
Bob Revere: We fight for freedom! Beware: Spoilers may follow. You know I’m not the biggest fan of Christian Christmas movies (or certain Christian movies for that matter *cough cough God’s Not Dead 2*) but I respect anyone’s religion one and all the same. And while this movie hasn’t changed my stance on that, … Continue reading Last Ounce of Courage Review
Superman movies ranked from worst to best
Much like Batman, Superman has had his fair share of different portrayals and all of them have different fanbases among comic book fans across the board. However, despite DC moving forward from the unfortunate tragedy of Justice League with sequels to Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam as well as kickstarting a new Batman and as … Continue reading Superman movies ranked from worst to best
Justice League Review
Bruce Wayne/Batman: He was more human than I am. He lived in this world. Fell in love, got a job, despite all that power. The world needs Superman. And the team needs Clark. Beware: Spoilers may follow. DC has done well in recent years to distance itself from the failure of its attempt at creating … Continue reading Justice League Review
Doctor Strange Review
Dr. Strange: Dormammu, I've come to bargain! Beware: Spoilers may follow. There’s no denying the MCU has a formula in their movies. But that formula has brought vast success in bringing many great Marvel heroes to the big screen almost each one with different down to earth quality capable of taking them seriously, making them human, … Continue reading Doctor Strange Review
