WHAT I LIKED: Dexter Fletcher's Elton John biopic 'Rocketman' has not infrequently been compared to last summer's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (which Fletcher also had a hand in making) and frankly it's not hard to see why. Both films follow glam-rock icon... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Martin Scorsese has always enjoyed pointing his camera at characters' everyday worlds. In Mean Streets he spent many moments just observing gangster meetings with little significance to the overall narrative, and Taxi Driver spent ag... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' harkens back to the adventure movies of years past, and like many of those, it serves entirely as decent, fluffy, cinema entertainment. Yes with plenty of fun obstacle courses, a narrative filled with mumbo... Read the full review »

Rocketman is no Tiny Dancer but isn't exactly Still Standing. And I think it's going to be a long, long time before these crowdpleasers fill my soul with pure enjoyment. Very similar to last year's 'Bohemian Rhapsody', I find myself in the interna... Read the full review »

The How To Train Your Dragon series has become one of the more underrated animated series since the first one came out back in 2010. It spawned a really good sequel that was just as good, if not better than the first one. Now we come to the third... Read the full review »

Every time Martin Scorsese directs a film, no matter what it's about, it is something to be on the lookout for. Same can be said for Leonardo DiCaprio as well, and when the two collaborate on a film together the chances of it being a great film ar... Read the full review »

It’s been 15 years since The Best Man was released in theaters. The film was met with modest praise and went on to become somewhat of a cult classic since its release. Now the gang is all back in The Best Man Holiday which picks up 15 years late... Read the full review »

Vince Vaughn hasn't had a lot of luck in recent years when it comes to picking good roles. Ever since his smash hit Wedding Crashers in 2005 things have seemed to go down hill. From Fred Claus to The Watch to last year's lackluster The Internship... Read the full review »

Buddy cop films have been a hit or miss genre going all the way back to the 80's where we saw some of the very best of the genre. In recent years there haven't been many, mostly because they end up being quite bad like Kevin Smith's Cop Out. But e... Read the full review »

Saw III repetitively cuts through its malevolent story with an almighty rusty tool. "This is a test". "For your first test". "He has reached the third test". "This is your final test". Test, test, test, test, test. Maybe "Jigsaw" is an exam board... Read the full review »

It's been 14 years now since Joe Dirt came out back in 2001. The film has garnered a small cult following despite the fact that it's not the greatest comedy to ever come out. I'll be the first to admit that while I don't find the film to be partic... Read the full review »
