I was in Houston, Texas last week, hanging out with an old friend for a day. Since she hadn’t seen either of them yet, we watched Avengers: Endgame, the re-release with the post-credit blu ray bonuses, and Spider-Man: Far From Home. It was my first visit to the theater, since I usually go to the …

So, yeah, I keep a list. And the rules for making the list are simple. One, if its something I haven’t seen before, no matter the format – theater, stream, redbox rental – it gets on the list. Two, if its a feature length television episode, it gets on the list. Three, if its something …

The Kitchen (2019)
I went out to the AMC Nacogdoches yesterday for a matinee showing of The Kitchen. I’m usually a fan of gangster / mob movies, especially set in the 1970s & 1980s, so I thought I would check this one. It’s based on a DC / Vertigo comic book that I have not read. And, after …
Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Last April, I made a list of the Top Ten Movies to See Summer 2019. Hobbs & Shaw was number nine on the list, due to its release date. Number ten was The New Mutants, which has been postponed yet again, this time to 2020. So, my Top Ten became Top Nine. Hobbs & Shaw …

Novelizations
I’m a big reader, always have been since I was a kid. When it comes to books & movies, I will often read the books that get turned into movies, not always before seeing the movie. And, even though they are getting fewer & farther between, I still read novelizations, too. If ya don’t know, …
Re-Release IT: Chapter One (2017)
I first read Stephen King’s IT when I was in junior high. I’ve re-read it a few times over the years, it’s still a great story and one of my favorites from the author. I have watched the ABC miniseries a few times over the years, as well. There were parts of it I didn’t …
Early Bird – The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019)
An early bird screening for The Angry Birds Movie 2 was announced a few days ago, and I was able to use my AMC Stubs membership to get a ticket & watched the sequel almost two weeks early. I watched the first movie awhile back, I wasn’t too impressed by it, so I had low …

Looking Forward To… Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
I saw a post on Facebook the other day from author Dayton Ward, saying that he had bought his tickets for the fortieth anniversary screening event for the first Star Trek feature film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I have been checking the websites for Fathom Events and my local Cinemark for the last several …

Looking Forward To… Gemini Man
I have been a fan of Will Smith since his days as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on NBC. I was not familiar with his music until years later, but I enjoyed the hell out of the comedy series. And then he started making movies – Men in Black and Independence Day are still favorites. …
Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood (2019)
First up, I want to say that Reservoir Dogs, the first movie Quentin Tarantino directed, was the first & is still my favorite of his films. Since then, he’s been hit or miss for me. Pulp Fiction was good, Jackie Brown was awful, Kill Bill, Vol. 1 was better than Vol. 2. And, honestly, because …
