It’s man versus insect in The Deadly Mantis, a thrilling classic from the golden age of sci-fi cinema! When a giant, thousand-ton, carnivorous praying mantis is released from its million-year slumber in the frozen Arctic, a determined commander (Craig Stevens), a paleontologist (William Hopper) and a photojournalist (Alix Talton) work together to stop its terrible path of deadly destruction. As it walks, leaps and flies towards Washington DC, the fate of a nation rests on stopping the menacing insect by any means possible. One of those low budget monster features that doesn’t actually feature a monster until the last possible...

Batman finds his patience tested to the limit when he goes on a road trip with Harley Quinn to track down her old partner-in-crime, Poison Ivy. I mean this in the best possible way, this movie felt like a long Batman Adventures episode with Batman voiced by the eternal voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy and Harley Quinn being voiced by Melissa Rauch who didn’t do a bad job, but she’s no Tara Strong in terms of who I recognize as the voice of Harley. I enjoyed it and it makes me miss the Batman Adventures series. Justice League: Action is...

Based on the unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is a dark comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. They really had to work to dumb down and de-beautify Margo Robby, but they did it just the same. Ok movie, hard to accept her as a 15 year old though.

When his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and daughter (Camila Morrone) are violently attacked, Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) hunts down his family’s assailants to deliver justice. Fury and fate collide in the intense action-thriller “Death Wish.” I remember the first trailer for this film was pretty terrible, with a doctor murdering people left and right, set to AC/DC’s “Back in Black”, which was a complete shift in tone from the original film’s rage, remorse, and thirst for inappropriate vengeance.  That song does make an appearance in the film, but luckily it’s in a relatively appropriate moment, and the film doesn’t treat...

In Columbia Pictures’ family adventure-comedy RV an overworked executive, Bob Munro (Robin Williams), persuades his wife and children to give up their Hawaiian vacation for some “family bonding” on a cross-country RV trip. But it’s all a ruse. Bob has other, more career-oriented reasons on his mind than sending quality time with his family in the Rocky Mountains. Through a series if misadv.. Meh. Watched it hoping for some great Robin Williams, all I got was great Robin Williams in a mediocre comedy with an uninspired plot and editing.

From Disney-Pixar, creators of FINDING DORY and Academy Award(R)winner INSIDE OUT (Best Animated Feature Film, 2015), comes an epic adventure packed with heart, hilarity and full-throttle FUN! Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers led by arrogant hotshot Jackson Storm, the legendary Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is suddenly sidelined and pushed from the sport he loves. To get back on track, he’ll need the help of eager young racing technician Cruz Ramirez, inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and a few unexpected twists and turns of fate. Bring home the high-octane hit that’s fully loaded with unforgettable characters...

Owen Wilson and Ed Helms play twin brothers whose mother (Glenn Close) raised them to believe their father had died when they were young, which they later discover to be a lie, prompting them to set out to find their real father. On the way, they discover more about their mother than they ever wanted to know. J.K. Simmons, Katt Williams, Terry Bradshaw (NFL Hall of Famer as himself), Ving Rhames and Christopher Walken costar in this outrageous and heart-warming comedy. This ia a great movie for people celebrating Father’s Day (or even Mother’s Day!) but don’t have parents alive...

Strongly suggest this, but not for the Star Trek connections, this is a movie that has real heart.

James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie star in Wanted, a turbo-charged thrill ride critics are calling the most visually inventive, trailblazing action film of its kind. “Toxic Masculinity: The Movie”, Wanted is loosely based on a comic about a league of super assassin villains that all got together one day and decided to just kill all the good guys, then take over the world. In the movie version, there’s no super villainry, no super heroes, no super suits, and no limits to the depths they’ll go to make you feel like a “pussy” if you haven’t killed someone lately....

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to...
