Imitation and emulation are common tropes in all creative arts. Even people who are producing largely original works are standing on the shoulders of the people THEY took influences from to drive their creative inspiration. Nothing is new anymore, it's just a different retelling of an old idea...

I was OK with the David Lynch 1984 adaptation. There are some things I wish they'd left alone in this adaptation but I understand why they changed them to better tell this story. I've loved it so far too. I will always be a Star Wars kid first and foremost. But I'm not so blinded to not see...

Saw Dune Pt 2. If you liked pt 1, you will like pt 2. There are some departures from the book that I'm OK with. No movie is ever perfectly accurate, and in this case it works. If they decide to do Messiah though, it'll be... Interesting.

Minions: The Rise of Gru Yeah, it's a minion movie. Catch it in a matinee and it's worth the ticket price. Or just wait for it on streaming. It's not a terrible way to kill 90 minutes, but I wouldn't call it a "must see" unless you have kids obsessed with minions. 3 stars.

The only Movie I've ever liked him in was Top Gun. And that was because it's freaking Top Gun, not because he was in it.

Just finished "The Matrix: Resurrections". If you're a fan you will enjoy it a lot. There's a ton of fan service in it. If you have not watched the 3 previous movies, you will have a hard time keeping up. Odds are though, if you're planning on seeing this, youv'e seen the others so it'll be...

We decided to venture back to an actual theater in a safe and socially distanced manner on Thanksgiving day to see Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Some thoughts. * It's a bit derivative, leaning heavily in places on the original movie for context and plot points. Having said that, the way the story...

Dune is worth seeing. Streaming on HBO Max if you don't want to hit the theater. It's a much better protrayal of the source material than the David Lynch version was (and I didn't mind that version but it had to shove a LOT into s short runtime and just didn't feel right.) If you're a Dune fan...

OK! One post, 2 reviews! Saw Crimes of Grindenwald (New Potterverse film) over Thanksgiving week with the whole fam (3 generations). it's exactly what you would expect in a Harry Potter universe film. Lots of magical things, lots of special effects, lots of things you will only be up to speed...

Took the kids and saw Incredibles 2. If you liked the original you will like this one. I'd say it's a typical sequel. There were some funny bits that I felt like I was the only person in the audience who actually got, but I'm also a nerd so am used to that. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 eggs. Catch...

Got tix for Incredibles 2 this weekend. Will advise. :)

Saw Solo. I went in with some trepidation, because Harrison Ford is the only Han Solo in my reality. I gave it a fair shot though, because I know there's no way he can possibly play a young Han and tell that story. Overall, I liked it! Donald Glover is an amazing Lando, and Alden Ehrenreich...

And They're amazing! I saw it today. I didn't like it as much as the first one, but I do think it sets up the X Force fairly well. No spoilers, but this movie was clearly aimed at me as a Marvel and Liefeld fan.

Got to go to an advance screening of "Atomic Blonde" last night unexpectedly (got tix froma friend). Overall I'd give it a thumb's up. it's kind of what I'd expect a Bond flick to be if they were rated R. The vibe is more Jason Bourne than James Bond, but if you're into spy thrillers, you'll...

It's an English Language movie based on the French comic book series, with Luc Besson at the helm. :) I'd almost guarantee it'll be translated to French, and based on the general snubbing it's getting in the states, I'd bet it does better in the French box office. I'm not sure when the worldwide...

TL;DR (too long, didn't read) if you're into scifi this is worth catching, even though the story is lackluster. the effects are so good that they make you forget the storyline more or less. Went and saw "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" last night with the kids. Went in with no...
