ADULT SUPERVISION MOVIE REVIEW In this Swedish entry this year for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars, we get to explore trauma in a different way then we’re used to seeing it of late (in horror movie after horror movie, natch). In Adult Supervision, three dads are roped into being chaperones for their daughters […]

GHOST IN THE CELL MOVIE REVIEW Let’s just get out of the way from the get-go that this is in no way beholden to the film that you almost certainly thought of when you saw the title was Ghost in the Cell. There’s no anime referencing here. Instead you get the modern master of Indonesian […]

MAYDAY MOVIE REVIEW Mayday is a retro 80’s-style buddy action-comedy set during the waning days of the Soviet Union. Ryan Reynolds plays Lt.

THE DINK MOVIE REVIEW John McEnroe once said “I’m not a convert to pickleball, I think it sucks”. Pickleball is a very simple activity that’s a lot like badminton, paddle ball, and table tennis on a smaller court and is much easier on the muscles and joints. Apple Plus’ new sports comedy about the sport […]

THE AUDACITY SERIES REVIEW Matt Damon once said “Fortune favors the brave” in an ad campaign for a crypto currency exchange. A very cynical outlook on this global phenomenon would be that the tech industry has a lotta nerve taking advantage of celebrities with more money than they know what to do with. The Audacity […]

THE INVITE MOVIE REVIEW Olivia Wilde as a director hit the ground running with the 2019 very funny comedy Booksmart. Unfortunately, her sophomore effort in 2022, the dystopian sci-fi drama Don’t Worry Darling did not fare nearly so well. So, returning to comedy seemed like the right move. Teaming up with A24, Wilde takes on […]

TWINLESS MOVIE REVIEW It’s hard to imagine as a non-twin what it would be like to have a twin sibling and then to lose them, especially unexpectedly. For Roman (Dylan O’Brien) it’s shattering. While his brother Rocky couldn’t be more different than him, they still had an indescribable bond. Roman is a heterosexual introvert. Rocky […]

THE NAKED GUN MOVIE REVIEW There’s a handful at best of good absurdist spoof comedies after the early reign of the Zucker/Abrahams films (Airplane, Airplane 2, Top Secret, The Naked Gun series). There’s a LOT of terrible ones. So, the relaunch of the beloved Naked Gun series without the involvement of the original team, and […]

NOVOCAINE MOVIE REVIEW Full disclosure: This was our first experience seeing a film in 4DX, which are, as Beau puts it, massage chairs that kick the crap out of you. Some of us loved the experience.

Saturday Night Movie Review In the midst of its 50th season on television, Saturday Night Live is without question a staple in American comedy.

DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE MOVIE REVIEW Deadpool is finally in the MCU for real. He made the cut. He gets his third movie.

THE UNDERDOGGS MOVIE REVIEW If you are of a certain generation, there’s a good chance that not only have you seen The Mighty Ducks, but you could probably quote it while explaining the plot in great detail.
