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

What I’ve Been Watching: Edition XXX

Movie Review: Disclosure Day
4.5 stars out of 5 I love me some later-day Spielberg, but he hasn’t given us the “full Spielberg” in a long while.

How much more ‘full Spielberg’ do you want?” […]
