It’s been 20 years. If you don’t know what to expect from Jackass at this point, then I don’t know what to tell you. It is what it is and you either like it or you don’t. It really just comes down to how much you like it. Like many fans I’m sure, Jackass has […]

‘Australian Survivor: Blood V Water’ Week 1 Recap
Premiere Survivor is back! With three super popular versions of the show, you might think the premiere episodes could lose a little bit of their luster. They’re not as unique or spread apart. But you would be wrong. Survivor premieres are always exciting, they always get the…blood pumping. This season is Australia’s first attempt at […]
MOONFALL: Wildly Flawed, But Fun, Disaster Flick
The way I see it, there are two ways to look at Moonfall. One, you can view it as a movie wanting to be taken seriously. Or two, you can look it as a movie that couldn’t care less about scientific accuracy, and just wants to be a fun movie that makes things go BOOM! […]
HOME TEAM Review
Home Team tells the classic story you see all the time. Coach leads his team to a Super Bowl victory only to find himself suspended three years later for his role in the Bountygate Scandal, so the coach returns home to coach his son’s youth football team, earning redemption (kind of), and (re)learning that football […]
THE FALLOUT Review
“Life’s f***ing hard.” This line is spoken (and spoken several more times) in one of The Fallout’s many emotionally charged scenes. In the face of great tragedy, and trying to make sense of something that makes no sense, sometimes that’s the only response you’re left with. And that’s the situation high schooler Vada (Jenna Ortega) […]
2021 Movie Rankings, Top 10
Here we go, folks, my top 10 movies for 2021! No true masterpieces, though a few came *very* close. But let’s not delay, let’s jump right in! Previous Rankings#191-209#171-190#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70#31-50#11-30 What can I say about BELFAST (full review here)? I’m in love with pretty much everything about it. The story, the acting, the set pieces, even […]
2021 Movie Rankings, #11-30
Previous Rankings#191-209#171-190#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70#31-50 IN THE HEIGHTS is simply a delight. Electric performances, fun musical sets, it’s great. SHANG-CHI offers some of the best-looking and choreographed fight scenes in all of the MCU. The inclusion of martial arts is a more than welcome addition, and helps give it a fresh feel. I love, love, love CODA. Being […]
2021 Movie Rankings, #31-50
This group of movies is probably highlighted by several “hidden gems,” movies that are criminally underseen. I hope we can change that. Previous Rankings#191-209#171-190#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70 Jason Segel has never been better than in OUR FRIEND, and he’s nearly matched every step of the way by Casey Affleck and Dakota Johnson. This based-on-a-true story almost veers into […]
2021 Movie Rankings, #51-70
Previous Rankings#191-209#171-190#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90 A HERO is getting rave reviews, and it is pretty good. It gets a lot out of a simple set-up, but it hinges on you getting behind the main character, who, while charismatic, was unlikable to me. He’s a nice enough guy who refuses to take responsibility for anything he does. MINARI is […]
2021 Movie Rankings, #71-90
Previous Rankings#191-209#171-190#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110 TOGETHER TOGETHER plays on the usual tropes of the romantic comedy, but puts a unique spin on it. Benedict Cumberbatch is getting all the hype for The Power of the Dog and Spider-Man, overshadowing his great performance in THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN (along with another movie to come later). NOMADLAND is […]
