Movie Review: Spider-Man — Brand New Day
4 stars out of 5I hope Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal all have points negotiated in their boilerplate contracts, because all three actors are in both of the summer’s billion-dollar bashes, The Odyssey and this latest Spidey flick. Which picks up with Peter Parker (Holland) navigating the difficult decision he made in No Way […]

Movie Review: I Want Your Sex
4 stars out of 5You ever go to see a friend play music at 2 p.m. except you misread the flyer and he went on at 12 p.m. so instead you went to the 2:45 movie? That was my Sunday. Otherwise this would probably be a Spider-man review. Still, I was happy to see I […]

Movie Review: The Odyssey
4 stars out of 5The Odyssey has raked in more than $700 million thus far. Of that, I have contributed $5. It was a very rainy Bargain Tuesday so I ducked into the theater to wait out the deluge. I know, I know, I was supposed to see this in IMAX, 70mm if possible, but […]

Movie Review: Jackass — Best and Last
3 stars out of 5I said basically everything I wanted to say about the Jackass franchise four years ago in my review of Jackass Forever. Since then, Johnny Knoxville has turned up as a host on the unsuccessful series Prank Panel and also the reboot Fear Factor: House of Fear, and starred in the streaming […]

What I’ve Been Watching: Edition XXX
Jeez, I watched a lot of shows from last November through May. There was that blizzard, and I was laid up a few times for medical reasons. But still, this seems like a lot of shows. Better time management? More hermit-like tendencies? Anyway, here are my thoughts on the programs I viewed. LOVED The American […]
