Allen At The Movies

Looks we a re venturing back into the DCEU with a new look at the Suicide Squad. James Gunn clearly had fun with this one and so will you. It's on HBOMAX and in theaters but you already knew that because it turns out there's been commercials for this EVERYWHERE.

I don't know what the put here for this one. It's a incredibly beautiful independent movie that left my heart simultaneously broken and full. Go see Nine Days.

Today I thought I was going to get this drama, thriller, crime thing when I sat down and watched the new Matt Damon movie Stillwater. What I got was....not that.

Today's movie is the incredibly complex and beautiful The Green Knight. It will absolutely sound like I didn't love it but that's just because I am still trying to understand it.

I'm gonna put the same amount of energy into this description that they put into coming up with an original way to tell the Jungle Cruise story. Today I watched Jungle Cruise.

Well M. Night Shamalan is back at it again. At this point you know what the deal is but that doesn't mean I get to not watch it.

Okay so part of me wants to undersell Pig to you and just say it's the story of Nicolas Cage searching for his lost truffle pig but that really undersells the whole movie and this movie deserves more than that. It's dark, tense, funny and heartbreaking all at once and Nicolas Cage's best acting in YEARS.

Have you ever wondered about the history and lore behind the coolest ninjas to ever ninja? How about your favorite toys? Well have I got the movie for you! Hasbro knocked this one out of the park and I spent way too long talking about it!

Oh hey I've done 100 episodes! And to celebrate I got really stoned and watched that new Space Jam movie. This is me rambling about it for 12 minutes. Enjoy!

Well this week I escaped the doldrums of life into the theaters to see Escape Room 2. A sequel to one of my favorite movies from 2019. Does this live up to my own internal hype or does it fall short like so many sequels of the past?

Well Disney finally gave us a Black Widow movie and then they were FINALLY able to release it. Which then led to me FINALLY getting to watch it. And now you can finally listen to my review. Finally.

The story of a weekend gone sideways for a stripper and her new friend. I promise the movie was a lot more entertaining than that description makes it sound.

Nobody is one of the most fun and interesting action movies I've seen in a long time and I struggle to find ways to describe it as evidence by this episode. But I do.

How great is movie theater air conditioning? Allow me to talk about it's majesty for 14 minutes and maybe I talk a little Peter Rabbit 2 as well. Maybe.

Cars go fast. Things explode. Family.

Today I finally took another trip back to the land of musicals in an effort to find something for me with In the Heights. Was this trip to Washington Heights the gateway into songs and dance or am I forever lost without beat? You've gotta listen to find out.

Today I fired up the ol Disney+ and watched the new Pixar movie Luca. It's a fish out of water story-Literally. Also WHY CANT I WATCH THIS IN A THEATER DISNEY?!?!?

Today I watched a movie about a band I didn't know existed until yesterday despite how they clearly inspired so much of my favorite songs. Today I think you should too. As I mentioned in the show here's the link to that playlist Edgar Wright put together for the show. You should listen to it after you're done listening to this review. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46TVLiwHDx5mJRBbSiM2aR?si=yE3...

You know those movies that get made entirely on the charisma of the two leads? And then that works and so they make a sequel with even more talented people that don't have the same chemistry or charisma of the first two people and since they sunk almost all of their budget into the cast everything somehow looks cheaper than the first one? Yeah that's this movie.

Today I ventured into a realm that is brand new to me. The realm of the the horse girl. This is my story.

Today I ventured back out to the theater for Disney's Cruella. I figured I had to.

Be very very quiet I'm hunting aliens. Also I'm watching A Quiet Place 2 which is just as much of an engrossing sound experience as the first.

You know what movie I wish was dead? This one.

Today I decided to jump at the opportunity to watch one of my favorite movies in the theater for the first time and go see 1986's Top Gun in AMC's Dolby theater. This is me talking about that experience.

And now for part two of my Netflix originals double feature - Army of the Dead. And much like a zombie it's a bloated mess that should be shot in the head.
