Mainstream Chick’s Top Picks of 2018
It’s insanely difficult to do a “Top 10 Movies of 2018” list when you’ve seen about 200 movies in 365 days – everything from blockbusters, to arthouse films, to documentaries,…
Quickie Reviews: Ben Is Back; Bumblebee; Vice
I know - these are three very different films. But I'm playing catch-up with my reviews! So I'll start with my favorite of the three (though Bumblebee comes in a…
Review: Destroyer
When beautiful actresses make themselves ugly for a role, it's always hard to see them that way. In Destroyer, Nicole Kidman plays an LA detective whose life took a dark…
Review: Aquaman
Aquaman is a bit of a hot mess, but it’s not a total washout. It’s one of those ‘must-see regardless’ movies for fans and followers of the DC comic universe,…
Review: Mary Poppins Returns
Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place, The Girl on the Train) is practically perfect in every way as the practically-perfect nanny Mary Poppins in the long-awaited sequel, Mary Poppins Returns. The…
Quickie Review: Once Upon A Deadpool
There are multiple jokes in Once Upon A Deadpool about lazy writing. So I’m going to rip a page out of Deadpool’s book and compose a review befitting this feeble…
Quickie Review: The Girl in the Spider’s Web
To call this an adaptation is an insult to all other adaptations. I was wary when I read that another author was continuing "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series…
Review: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
This anthology film from the Coen Brothers will only be in a few big city theaters for a week before it begins streaming on Netflix. It's made up of six…
Review: Venom
I don’t think the trailer does this film any favors. It makes Venom look way worse than it is, at least for anyone (like me) who doesn’t have a clue…
Review: The Sisters Brothers
It seems the western will never die. The allure of rugged men out there slinging guns and making their fortunes panning for gold was too much for French director Jacques…
Review: Peppermint
Peppermint is essentially Death Wish with a chick. Fortunately, that chick is Jennifer Garner. Otherwise, this movie would be a total bust (unless you’re an uberfan of violent revenge movies).…
Review: The Spy Who Dumped Me
The difference between The Spy Who Dumped Me and Mission: Impossible – Fallout is that in a few months I’ll still remember seeing and enjoying MI, whereas Spy will barely…
Review: Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Your mission – should you choose to accept it – is to check your plausibility meter at the door and enjoy watching Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, 56) run, jump, fly,…
Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp
As a sequel to a lightweight Marvel movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp does its job. It’s entertaining and finds a way to work in the necessary connections to the Avengers…
