Cinematic Sommelier

WAY better than I expected. The dog has such personality, and steals every scene. Naomi Watts is stellar. This one emits a palpable warmth from beginning to end like a hug from a loved one or your favorite winter blanket in front of a fireplace. Let it wash over you as you laugh and cry your way to the credits rolling.

Was “Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey” too high brow for you? Well, have I got the movie for YOU!
The rat is genuinely terrifying for a number of reasons… the story has the narrative weight of “Sharknado”… and the thing devolves into madness from the get-go. If you don’t mind losing a few brain cells and/or want to root for the downfall of Disney intellectual property now entering the public domain – this is your cinematic universe.

So, Limp Bizkit’s here for some reason… and I didn’t hate it.
Pure nostalgia trying to cover for a weird mix of “21 and Over” / “Project X” meets “Small Soldiers.” It’s a wild combination, but works remarkably well, mostly because of the dedication of the cast to committing to the bit.

Not much I can say about this one past what the trailer portrays… It’s weird, and you’ll be shaking your head most of the movie…

It took me a while to find my bearings with this one. I never realized how much a character being able to feel pain and be vulnerable in some fashion played into the overall experience. Once I acclimated, I was all the way in and loved this one! It was a fun action flick with a nice couple twists and a love story woven in. Jack Quaid really makes this one, with the perfect mix of quirky to make the wacky premise work at it’s fullest potential.
