Chic August 30, 2018

The trailers for “Tag” are a bit deceiving. Sure, it’s based on a true story about grown men playing a game of tag for 30 years. They wear disguises, infiltrate the other player’s workplace, and risk bodily harm in order to simply lay a ...Read More

Review: It’s Immature & Silly…So Exactly What You’d Expect Of ‘Super Troopers 2’ Blu-ray

Chic July 15, 2018

Do you remember “Caddyshack 2” or are you actively trying to forget that it exists? That’s what happens when comedy sequels go bad. A movie studio wants to cash in on the good ol’ days and tries to force a homogenized piece of garbage ...Read More

Review: ‘Game Night’ Blu-ray Just Misses Dark Comedy Greatness

Chic May 20, 2018

“Game Night” is another entry in what could be a sub-genre of comedy called “escalation comedy.” Movies of this freshly minted genre have only one prerequisite: each scene must be zanier than the previous one. Movies like this dance on the razor’s edge between ...Read More

Chic January 20, 2018

Since most of the enjoyment in “10 Cloverfield Lane” comes from not knowing, don’t fret. What you are about to read isn’t going to ruin what is a taut, well-crafted thriller that establishes Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a star, Dan Trachtenberg as a soon ...Read More

Review: Add ‘The Commuter’ To The Massive List Of Liam Neeson B-Level Action Movies

For about one hour, “The Commuter” is a slick, well-shot, claustrophobic Hitchcock-ish thriller which takes place, for the most part, aboard a departing Manhattan commuter train. It sets up an intriguing plot, a handful of interesting characters, and a clever ethical dilemma that is ...Read More

Review: Gary Oldman’s Career Best Highlights ‘Darkest Hour’

Chic December 7, 2017

Review: Once Again, Zack Snyder & DC Drop The Ball With ‘Justice League’

Chic November 15, 2017

Poor, poor Warner Bros. and DC Films. They seemed like they finally had things on track with “Wonder Woman”, the first watchable DC flick not directed by Christopher Nolan. While “Justice League” is unequivocally better than the disastrous “Batman v Superman”, it’s loaded with ...Read More

Review: Forget ‘Geostorm’, ‘The Snowman’ Is The Real Disaster Movie

Chic October 20, 2017

Tomas Alfredson, director of “The Snowman”, has recently claimed that he was unable to film an estimated 10-15% of what he wanted to shoot for the movie. That seems like a low estimate. There’s no possible way that adding 15% more footage to “The ...Read More
