Wandavision is anything but your typical MCU experience. Gone are the over the top fight scenes, formula driven origin stories, and mostly vanilla villains that defined nearly every single MCU installment. In their place, Wandavision took a major risk showing a jovial deep-dive into Wanda’s growing anguish, pain, and possible insanity. In case you missed …
Netflix’s We Can Be Heroes (2020), checks off most of the trademark characteristics of a Hallmark movie. Crappy effects? Check. I’m not sure what barely passed basic CGI artists they dug up, but it looks like the director’s five year old drew the imagery. Sorry, that’s insulting to the five year old. Features washed up …
Every year around November, December, and July, networks start playing their Christmas movie lineups. Inevitably, Home Alone makes the list, Die Hard does not. But if people consider violent, sadistic Home Alone as Christmas cannon, why not Die Hard? If you find you have the argument with a loved one, grinchy douche bag, or both …
Fun fact: Jingle Jangle actually means making a sound like metal objects hitting each other. Another fun fact: it’s also slang for a fictitious stimulant sold in Riverdale. Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey combines both those concepts into a visually compelling, competently acted and sung, steam-punk family musical that may make you feel high or …
In this Season 1, Episode 2 review of Netflix’s holiday series, Dash & Lily, I talk about how Lily clearly has mob ties and “family” all around the city. Good luck Dash. Uncle Sal knows what you look like now. Dash & Lily: Season 1, Episode 2 recap After enduring the first episode where we …
In this Season 1, Episode 1 review of Netflix’s new holiday series, Dash & Lily, I discuss how these 20 something “teens” really didn’t draw me into their tale in the pilot episode. Oh my God this will be fun! Dash & Lily: Season 1, Episode 1 recap Warning: This section may have spoilers that …
One Royal Holiday represents the latest Hallmark movie focused on, sigh, a girl falling in love with a prince. Yeah, you’ve seen this one before. And yeah, it’s brand new. Hallmark first released One Royal Holiday on October 31, 2020, because Hallmark clearly does not recognize Halloween as a real holiday. Hate Christmas prince movies? …
Home Alone has delighted a cult-following of fans since 1990. Mostly innocent 90’s kids flocked to theaters to see the little bastard beat the crap out of two unsuspecting burglars as good family fun. When you stop and think about it, Kevin is a sadistic little monster. His family is not much better. And there …
The Holidate is the latest romantic comedy to hit Netflix. Predictable but edgy, this is the Hallmark Movie you’d get if they could include sex, alcohol, and mild drug use instead of some lame-ass kiss at the end. And, did I mention, it is the next movie your girl (or guy) will make you watch. …
Double Double Toil and Trouble tapped into the Olsen Twins’ star power of the early 90s to deliver a truly terrible, made for TV movie. In it, you can see the full range of their “acting ability,” which, simply put, is not expansive. I blessedly was able to avoid watching Double Double Toil and Trouble …
