The End of Oak Street - Dinosaurs!
It's an end of the summer movie. It's larger than life, but it wasn't too big. The idea was intriguing. Having your entire neighborhood sent back to the age of dinosaurs isn't used all that often.

Toy Story 5 - We're Doing This Again Huh?
The story is important. Every parent should watch with their kids and talk about it. Though, as important as the story was, the pacing felt a bit off. Again, not the target demographic. It's made for a kids attention span of today. Which is much less than it was when I was a kid of the 80s.

The Odyssey - It's All About The Journey Isn't It?
Do you really need to issue a spoiler alert with a movie that's based on a book that's over 2000 years old? I don't think so. A good man goes to war. The man tries to come home, but the gods have other plans. Anyone who knows anything about Greek mythology knows those guys sucked. I can keep this one short, because there's no need to go into the details. No need to go into themes because its based on something that's been around forever. Nolan's take was an intense journey of

Evil Dead Burn
I've been a fan of these movies for the last couple decades. The original is iconic and a masterclass in horror writing and filming on a budget. The great Bruce Campbell is awesome in the role as Ash and though the films changed a bit in the two proceeding sequels, it was always a good time. The third is my favorite because it's the perfect blend of horror and comedy without going too far into the blood and gore. Then, not so long ago, we got a remake. Horror evolved over the

Supergirl (2026) - The Last Daughter of Krypton
Let's talk about Supergirl! She's been helping save the world since the 1950s. From comics to cartoons to live action. She's the Woman of Steel...The Last Daughter of Krypton. She first appeared on the silver screen in the mid-80s with Helen Slater donning the red cape. The movie was...well we'll get to that soon. She arrived at an odd time for the Superman franchise. Part III had just released and it didn't do well and Reeve himself wasn't a fan of it. It definitely had its

They Will Kill You - Second Worst Apartment Complex EVER!
I don't remember what was going on or why I didn't make it out to see this in theaters. I wanted to because the trailer I kept seeing had my attention. Arrived on MAX and gave it a watch.

Passenger - The Hitchhiker but Less Fun
My movie enjoyment rules are simple...interesting stories, complex characters that I can root for. This movie barely hit those. While this movie wasn't terrible, it wasn't that great either. It failed to live up to the expectations the trailer showed. When I saw the trailer, it looked spooky. A dark entity follows a couple home while on the road. That was the crux of why I didn't love the movie. The Set Up: The start of the movie was interesting. Two guys on the road pull ove

The Mandalorian and Grogu - This Is The Way?
Star Wars has been on a journey for decades: prequels, requels, tv shows and updated versions of the older films...Han shot first. I was never overly obessed with this franchise. I always did enjoy them for what they were. Fun space adventures of good versus evil. Rebels versus Empire. Hope versus facism. Okay, little more complex if you get too deep into them. Overall, its the hero's journey. We got the originals and a little over a decade later, the prequels. Another decade

Obsession - Love Makes You Do The Wacky
Would have gone with the 'be careful what you wish for' tag for my tag, but I like to go with my bad jokes/puns/obscure pop culture references. It's another horror movie watch for the year. Absolutely love and enjoy them, even when they kind of suck. This one, however, did not. I don't know much about the writer/director Curry Barker, nothing really, but this was a very well written, well directed film. Start to finish he crushed it...might have gone a little overly with some

Project: Hail Mary - It's A Foosball Term
Welp...I only saw one movie this month. I'm on a new exhausting work schedule and there wasn't a whole lot I wanted to see. Next month, however, will have lots of good stuff. Horror and Grogu hits theaters. Should be fun time...just have to hope I don't fall asleep during them. The one movie I was able to see this month was Project: Hail Mary. Based off of the book Ryan Gosling is a brilliant science teacher that needs to save the world. There's a sciencey space thing (Petrov

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come - For the Love of Buffy
When I saw the first one, it was insane. I mean, she punches a kid that shot her in the hand. Her will to survive was strong and as the credits rolled, I, like many people had to be thinking...Uh, she's cover in blood, house is on fire, family's dead; this doesn't end well for her does it?
No...it does not. For a multitude of reasons.

Scream 7 - The Legacy Sequel, Requel...Sequel?
Thirty years. That's how long this franchise has been around. It was thought to end on a trilogy. Then a fourth came out. Then a requel. Sequel the requel. Then finally, Scream 7. I first saw Scream when I rented it one weekend back in high school. I was staying at my aunt's house with my brother, Travis, and after my cousins were asleep I popped it in. The opening is one of the best openings of a horror movie. It grips you with unease and fear as Drew Barrymore gets a call f

Anaconda - Why'd It Have To Be Snakes?
This movie was a bit of a mixed bag. While it was somewhat enjoyable, it was just as dumb as I thought it would be. It was at times, a little too over the top. There were a few moments that were quite relatable.

Eternity - Sophie's Choice in Heaven
It's a battle of the husbands because she can only have one Eternity. Does she go with her first husband where she had the most chemistry and was her first love? Or the man she fell in love with after and had a life with? Children. Family. 65 years of happiness.

Wake Up Dead Man - Killer Mystery
Rian Johnson knows how to write a compelling mystery. A mystery that seems so impossible only one man can solve it...Adrian Monk. Wait, no. Benoit Blanc, but let's face it, Monk and Team Psych could put it together too.

The Running Man - Old vs New
Problem is in this future, the US is run by an authoritarian media network...far fetched, I know. Viewers are poor and with very little access to needed health care...again, far fetched, I know.
