I had a bit of a revelation that it might behoove me to mark these with some sort of identifier like a date. So there we have a brand new title. What I’ve done is I took the old title of last week’s installment, “Staff Picks” and this time I’ve put the date next to it. It seems like a revelation of sorts but really I feel like common sense …

Its that time again film loving friends. We’ve reached that point in our week where we try and break up the monotony of being quarantines with the insanity of being quarantined. Funny how that one works, isn’t it? By this point I can only imagine that you’ve burned through all the things you were meaning to watch, the things you were thinking about watching and the things you probably thought …

Welcome back movie fans to another week of life without new movies. Theaters are still empty and this week we literally have no new movies, even on digital media. Its the cinematic desert I’ve never trod before and I’m just negotiating from one movie mirage to the next while we wait for some semblance of normalcy to begin returning to our daily lives. While we manage to stay some kind …

Hey there Coronapocalypse survivors. Are you starting to feel that edge just a little bit? Even getting out and going for walks and enjoying what sunshine we have is there’s a bit of a something that just keeps gnawing at you? Yeah I’d say at this point that’s pretty standard fare. You can crank the intensity up a couple notches if your career has been put on hold or displaced. …

This past weekend, whether you knew it or not, you were privy to a turning point in movie history. There’s probably been a number of different rites of passage that the cinematic industry has undergone in my lifetime but I’d hesitate to say all of them were as noteworthy as the digital rental release of “Trolls World Tour”. I know, it seems a bit silly to hype this up as …

The 2020 February comedy starring Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus did a few things wrong but I feel like they snowballed into an avalanche of unfair criticism. See what I did there? And then what I did there by saying “See what I did there?” Both were quite clever given the subject matter. So I feel like this particular review is off to a decent start. But lets not focus …

So things are a just a smidgen nuttier than the cumulative total of all rejected goodies from a 3rd grade bake sale right now. Everybody is stuck inside. Celebrities are flooding social media with videos pining for our collective attention. Its a very weird and rare time to be alive. And amidst all the anxiety ridden, panic inducing, toilet paper hoarding fury we are finding a new way of life …

I’d imagine this post might seem just a tad late as its clearly the 18th of March now and the celebration of St. Patrick has officially ended, though its only the wee hours of the morning and I’d venture many conventional observers have only recently ended celebratory efforts. However, my intention is not to be tardy for recommendations for this year. I’ve picked out 5 films for people to keep …

This time around I’m going to break up the home video releases from the theatrical releases and touch on things headed to the big screen later in the week. So I figured I would take a quick moment to address some of what’s finding its way to the DVD aisle and your home streaming service this week. First lets tackle the DVD releases. The four major flicks hitting shelves this …

If you chat me up about movies for even just a few minutes, you’ve got a a pretty solid chance of me rambling about something pertaining to Ryan Reynolds. He’s clearly one of my favorites that ever was. There’s really no substitution for him but in the same way that I’ll gladly accept a grape Fanta if you’re out of Orange, I’ll happily entertain a Mark Wahlberg flick any day …
