I have not upgraded to 4K yet, but the Blu-rays from these new Batman 4K masters are so good I can only imagine the full presentation. It just goes to show you that if they do a 4K restoration, even the Blu-ray is going to look noticeably better. In Batman Continue Reading
Every genre deserves a definitive meta deconstruction. Horror has Scream, action has Last Action Hero and now rom-coms have Isn’t It Romantic. Rebel Wilson plays a modern woman who hats romantic comedies. When she wakes up in one, hilarity ensues. Since Natalie finds herself In the ultimate romantic comedy, the Continue Reading
Happy Death Day was a pleasant surprise, a Groundhog Day horror movie that really worked. The sequel Happy Death Day 2U takes it to the next level. Not only is the day repeating, but there’s a multiverse of alternate days. Happy Death Day 2U really plays with the different ways Continue Reading
Liam Neeson hunting people with a snow plow? Sold! I didn’t even see the original In Order of Disappearance but I liked Cold Pursuit so much I’m likely to see it now. Neeson plays a snow plow driver in Kehoe who goes after the gangsters who killed his son. It’s Continue Reading
The Lego Movie was a brilliant satire of blockbuster movies, using the notion of kids playing with Legos to skewer narrative tropes. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part really took it to the next level by telling a story about sibling rivalry, yet just as funny and moving as Continue Reading

I waited 19 years for a sequel to Unbreakable, and I only found out I was getting one a few years ago when I saw Split. I actually liked Glass. I say actually because so many people turned on M. Night Shyamalan again after only just welcoming him back a Continue Reading
I really liked Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase. This was a wonderful modernization of the teen sleuth for today’s kids. It’s empowering to show how Nancy (Sophia Lillis) puts the clues together in a deductive way that anyone else could aspire to if they just paid attention. It’s also Continue Reading
Clint Eastwood returned to the screen in his latest movie The Mule, loosely based on the true story of a 90-year-old drug mule for the cartels. It was a good role that took a lot of liberties with the true story but showed a man gaining some perspective very late Continue Reading
Bumblebee brought the Transformers series back to basics and was better for it. Getting our ‘80s on sort of harkened back to the way we experienced the Transformers as kids. What I really want to get is that Bumblebee VHS they joked about for April Fools. Hopefully it was pan Continue Reading
