Bottle Shock: Offbeat Dramedy Bubbles With Charm

August 20, 2020 by Kevin

4 out of 5 stars (one of the best I’ve seen this year) This review was requested by Drew Henry.  Thanks for being a good friend and supporter. I am not a wine connoisseur.  I’ve had a few glasses here and there, but outside of a delicious Francis Ford Coppola brand I shared with a… Continue Reading

White Boy Rick: Sluggish Biopic Has Unused Potential

October 23, 2018 by Kevin

White Boy Rick Poster

2 out of 5 stars (has some good moments, but is overall bad) White Boy Rick is one of those movies that doesn’t quite work.  It has a decent cast and potentially outrageous story, but makes the crucial mistake of playing the material seriously rather than off the wall.  In the right hands, this could… Continue Reading

Tron: Legacy: Sequel to Disney Cult Classic has Great Visuals, But Generic Plot

March 9, 2016 by Kevin

In… Continue Reading

The Man from U.N.C.L.E Poster

3 out of 5 stars (average) The Man From U.N.C.L.E had a lot going against it for me. It was an August action-comedy with two actors with mixed resumes and a trailer that looked like it could be either a funny romp or a generic bore that a studio released because they could.  However, my… Continue Reading

These “Turtles” Should Have Stayed in the Shadows

August 13, 2014 by Kevin

2 out of 5 stars (has some good moments, but is overall bad) Childhood is an interesting time. We are young, inexperienced, and easily entertained.  When we are children, all we need is a talking animal and we like what is right in front of us.  That was the case for me at least.  I… Continue Reading
