While some aspects of "Despicable Me 4" were handled more effectively in previous installments, the spirit of the film makes it a worthy addition to the series.
While not a step back, as its still better than most of the DCEU, Wonder Woman 1984 is somewhat disappointing given just how wonderful the first film was.
Ready for a good time? Great! That just might happen for you if you go see Sausage Party. But be warned. This movie is not a love-it or hate-it film; it’s just not. Sausage Party is a have fun or don’t-have fun film. But if you go into it with the right mindset, trust me, my friends. You will have fun. But heed this warning: if you can’t get past the profanity, you need to walk a...[Read More]

It’s been fifteen years since Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson have played Derek Zoolander and Hansel, respectively, and time has not been kind to them. Zoolander came out in 2001 making only $45 million domestically against a $28 million budget, but strong home video sales and a devoted cult following helped put plans in motion for Zoolander 2. With development being traced back all the way to 2008, t...[Read More]
When was the last time you saw a cinematic sex scene that felt anything like real life? Movies can’t seem to help turning sex into a glossy fantasy, or else a joke – among recent releases, you can give Trainwreck some credit for realism in depicting intercourse, but never without a laugh to follow. So it’s particularly refreshing, to some degree even shocking, to see sex depicted with the kind of ...[Read More]
It seems that every year, one or two independent films successfully make the jump from film festivals and art house theaters to the multiplexes. This year, that movie is writer and director Craig Johnson’s The Skeleton Twins. Starring Saturday Night Live alums Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as estranged twins that come together after a botched suicide attempt, The Skeleton Twins provides audien...[Read More]
How to Train Your Dragon 2 was great. It had lots of action and surprises. Like when Drago (voiced by Djimon Hounsou) was trying to capture dragons and hurt Hiccup’s family. It had a lot of action because the dragons were fighting and flying around and Stoick (voiced by Gerard Butler) was fighting Drago with swords. The action was fun to watch and it kept the story moving forward. There were no pa...[Read More]
I really like this movie! It was awesome, cool, hilarious, and sad. In Despicable Me 2, Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) finds a new nemesis and battles him in the movie. Sadly Gru’s minions are pulled into the situation and Gru needs to rescue them. To start the movie off, a secret laboratory is stolen by a giant magnet controlled by Gru’s nemesis. At the same time Gru is celebrating Agnes’s (voiced ...[Read More]
Friends with Kids is a Bridesmaids reunion folks. This comedy/drama has its high points being more with the drama than the comedy. The measure for the comedy being, did I laugh out loud? Yes I did, not a loud laugh, but definitely an audible chuckle. As far as the drama goes…the measure being did I feel anything? Did I tear up? That would be a big yes, and another yes. The beauty of this movie is ...[Read More]
