The TODDcast

A personal look into an enigmatic character. Thankfully Val Kilmer has filmed himself through his career Makes for great entertainment.  #val #valkilmer #amazonprime

"Maximum James Gunn" R-Rated Troma inspired insanity with that GOTG heart Showing that Robbie's Harley is now the key player of the DCEU four Count'em FOUR movies in. #thesuicidesquad #hbomax

Hot Chick / Freaky Friday meets Jason Voorhees Played for a few laughs Directed by Landon who did #HappyDeathDay Can't MISS!  #freaky #hbomax #vaughnbetterthanschneider

Vampire on a plane ala Die Hard or Executive Action or Passenger 57. Yeah, go watch any of those instead.  Disappointing.  #bloodredsky #netflix #vampireonaplane

It's the Endgame to the series of Trollhunters' series. Great animation and voice work make for a moving end. Worth checking even if you did see other series, but does help!  #trollhunters #netflix #riseofthetitans

Watch it in Italian. It's derivative and subversive in all the right ways. Ignore the nay sayers. #aclassichorrorstory #netflix

A trilogy that works.  Sure some bumps with accents and acting in this one... Good mythology and resolution. Go watch! #fearstreet #1666 #fearstreettrilogy

I'm Bugs' huckleberry what can I say? Good? Eh... Bad? Nah. Just a retold version for today. Not a sequel, but they had to keep the name. LeBron affords himself well. Biggest pain? No "I believe I can fly." #spacejam #kingjames #hbomax #lebron

Drew Goddard fans? Rejoice. Noirish, strangers in a motel, thriller.  Works. Mostly.  Dakota Johnson apparently will never work for me. #badtimesattheelroyale #giacchino  = magic

Some stylistic cool stuff, but the love-orphan of  "John Wick" and "Kill Bills fails to hit. Gillan and the all-girl murder squad of Headey, Yeoh, Gugino, and Bassett do what they can. Unfortunately hampered with over long sequences, slo-mo, and one of the worst soundtracks in modern cinema. #gunpowdermilkshake #karengillan #netflix

The future is Florence. Bittersweet wrap for ScarJo, but pays off quite a bit. Most similar to Winter Soldier or recent Falcon series. #scarjo #blackwidow

Homage to 70s and 80s slashers like Friday the 13th your bag? This works mostly.  The mythology is kind of interesting and the trilogy structure is well-done. Soundtrack again helps quite a bit.  #netflix #fearstreet #1978

Like #SNL sketch movies? This is for you Like Kristen Wiig? This could be for you. Any one else still listening? 60-40 chances you might like.  That's the percentage of jokes that hit for me.  #hulu #barbandstar #barbandstargotovistadelmar #kristenwiig

This description sold me: "A loser whose life is passing him by accidentally stumbles into a secret underground self-help group for serial killers." Black comedy, some slashing and kills, but played for fun mostly. #shudder #viciousfun #viciouslygood

Edge of Tomorrow earth alien battles plus Independence Day's trying to save the world Plus a time travel loop. Straight man Pratt outshone by bit players and especially JK Simmons and Yvonne Strahovski. #thetomorrowwar #amazon #chrispratt

Scream ripoff? You bet. Can you think of a better movie to ripoff?  Sure, but they do a good job.  Little overkill with the soundtrack, but a Beltrami score trumps! #fearstreet #1994 #netflix #rlstine

Soderbergh, you are sold or not pretty much on that name.  Cheadle and Del Toro are the highlights.  Typical noir that makes slow burn the norm. #hbomax #nosuddenmove #cheadle #deltoro

If George Washington playing "Free Bird" by Lynard Skynard as the national anthem sounds like your cup of tea... #reviewproof #yourinner12yearoldlovesthis #netflix #americathemotionpicture

Won't put the whole list this time...  but there is a lot coming on Netflix and a few each on all the other streamers worth checking out. Let me know via message or on social if I missed something or what you would most like me to review first! 

Rosemary's confusion?  In vitro childbirth apparently leads to lots of hallugenic visions.  OR this movie? Who can tell? #hulu #falsepositive #piercebrosnan

If you  could believe that Willis could stop an asteroid in Armaggedon as a driller, you should believe that Neeson can as an Ice Road Trucker. How many seasons was that on? An okay use of 1.75 hours of your life. #netflix #theiceroad #liamneeson #theiceroadmovie

Stand up comic wrote a "rom-com." Doesn't fit? You betcha. More like BLACK comedy.  Definitely. #ilizaschelsinger #goodonpaper #netflix

Kevin Hart, straight man? Mostly. Superior child acting? Yes. Chris Weitz, secret weapon writer/director? Yes. Just in time to make you cry BEFORE fathers day. #fatherhood #kevinhart

IT's PIXAR. What else do you need to know? Oh, it's not Dinosaur bad but not Incredibles good. Like Little Mermaid meets Ratatouille for boys.  Go show your kids. You know, YOUR kids.  #luca #pixar

Derivative B-grade monster in the ground movie? Check. One recognizable actor to give credence? Check. Lowered expectations making it worth it, probably. #thedevilbelow #netflix
