For those of us sports fans, we undoubtedly know the feeling of disappointment when our team goes down, failing to win the title. If you’re a St. Louis Blues fan, you know the feeling all too well. In fact, being a diehard Kansas City Chiefs football fan, I found myself relating quite a bit to […]
At first glance, The War With Grandpa looks like nothing more than a cash-grab, generic comedy that will introduce a new generation of movie-goers to the legendary Robert De Niro and a few of his friends. At first glance, you wouldn’t be wrong, but the movie is not all that bad if you give it […]
One of the top comedies of 2020 is hitting Amazon on August 28. ‘Get Duked!’ or ‘Boyz in the Wood,’ as it was called when it won an audience award at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival is a sure-fire bet to be a future cult-classic. In what seems like an innocent camping trip for four […]
Sly Stallone made some great movies in the 80’s. From Rocky to Rambo, he was a box office machine, but along the way he also had some films that didn’t do quite as well as the Rocky films, and no, I’m not talking about ‘Stop or My Mom Will Shoot!.’ ‘Over the Top’ hit theaters […]
23 Years ago this month, one of the best horror films to come out in the last quarter century was released, and no one gave a shit. Upon it’s release in 1997, ‘Event Horizon’ was panned by critics and shunned by audiences. The reason, you may ask? Marketing, plain and simple. ‘Event Horizon’ was marketed […]
This week we travel back to 1988 and the wild, wild west. No, not the Will Smith turd from years back, but a little western film called ‘Young Guns.’ This film features a strong cast and a pretty good screenplay to boot. Emilio Estevez stars as Billy the Kid, along with Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond […]
This week we travel back to 1991 to look at ‘Point Break.’ Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who also helmed such films at ‘The Hurt Locker,’ ‘Blue Steel,’ and ‘Strange Days,’ this film is an all out adrenaline rush. Now, I will be the first to say that I have probably watched this film atleast 100 […]
This week’s Retro Review takes us back to 1990. Back before Alec Baldwin made people laugh playing Donald Trump, he actually starred in some pretty damn good movies. ‘Miami Blues’ is one of those films, which is highly underrated. Directed by George Armitage and co-starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward, the film revolves around […]
This week we travel back in time to 1990 for the film ‘Pump Up the Volume.’ I always think how complex life seemed as a teenager, yet looking back on it now, life was pretty damn good and easy. ‘Pump Up the Volume’ was one of those teen flicks that was basically telling teens to […]
So, 1993 brought just an onslaught of great films. Films like Jurassic Park, Dazed and Confused and Tombstone all cracked The Good Doctor’s Top 25 List of All-Time Favorite Flicks, however, there was one that stood out over all of them. That film was True Romance. The ultra-violent, love story of Clarence and Alabama Worley. […]
