I will say this for the trailers for 21 Bridges: they made this movie look as cool as hell. Granted, that’s the job of a trailer. It’s really a commercial for a movie, and I go to the movies often enough that a lot of them get old. But 21 Read more
Well, that was a longer gap between articles than I had hoped. I’d apologize to my loyal readers, but the stats suggest I don’t have any… Anyway, while I tend to go to the movies every week these days, that was not the case when the first Frozen came out. Read more
Generally, I really love the work of the late director Stanley Kubrick. True, 2001 baffles me even after sitting through the whole thing a few times, and I found Eyes Wide Shut rather dull–though in that case, I think I should revisit it since I first saw it about twenty Read more
I’ve never really been to any sort of class reunion. Sure, I get the invites once in a while, and I do think about going, but I usually decide to skip them for a wide variety of reasons. Besides, generally the people from my old classes that I want to Read more

Oh how I hated the trailers for the new Charlie’s Angels. So much about it made me think of some kind of half-assed 90s idea of Grrl Power from a male producer. Closets full of clothes, blatantly sexist men to beat up, dance sequences, and a generic pop song sung Read more
I’m not really one for car racing. Actually, I’m not really one for sports of any kind. But even I would admit that seeing the trailers for the new Ford v Ferrari made the sport look exciting, with a good cast and a lot of energy that would befit a Read more
When I listed my 45 favorite movies, I briefly mentioned that I had never seen anything from Bruce Lee. I know Bruce Lee by his reputation as a great martial artist whose life tragically ended early. From there, various fake Bruces popped up, and then his own son Brandon suffered Read more
