A ★★★ review of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1985) The equivalent of watching one of the classic Rankin/Bass specials while on a bender and then trying to relay the plot to your buddy the next morning while still hung over. If nothing else, the crafts...

A ★★★★ review of Small Things Like These (2024) Cillian Murphy channeling Atticus Finch in the best of ways. Doing the right thing, making the hard decisions, in the face of institutional power, at risk of his own safety and livelihood, because he ...

A ★★★★ review of Stand by Me (1986) The most honest, earnest, truthful portrayal of middle school boys in American fiction and it ain't even close. Rob Reiner directs the hell out of this thing. The blocking is perfect, the tone is perf...

A ★★★★ review of The Running Man (2025) Guys... it's The Running Man. I don't know what more you're looking for. It's a Stephen King dystopian novel from the Reagan era. This gave me exactly what I expected to see, just with a contemporary,...

A ★★★ review of Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) You see, the problem is the movie is not very good as it recycles so much from the first two movies and banks on audiences have nostalgia for nine years ago. However, it also has this cast being sassy...
