Do you know what the worst part was about Writer-Director Edgar Wright leaving Marvel’s Ant-Man prior to filming? The worst part is that it’s taken four years to get another Edgar Wright film into theaters. However, return Wright does with Baby Driver, a film that is part Heat, part Drive, and part musical comedy—wait, what? Shhhhh, just enjoy the ride. It works. Continue reading
If there is one Pixar property that I have never been thrilled with, it’s the Cars series. The first one was essentially a kiddie Doc Hollywood, while the second was basically Mater: The Movie. So, when I heard they were making a third Cars film, I audibly groaned. But, it is a Pixar film and I have to see them, even if they are Cars. Is the film any good? Continue reading
Directed by Colin Trevorrow, The Book of Henry is a strange film. When I left the theater, I felt that I liked it, but the more I thought about it, the more the film fell apart, despite the great performances from its young leads. Continue reading
Written and directed by Roger Michell, My Cousin Rachel is a psychological drama and period piece. Does the film’s mystery aspect keep the audience engaged throughout or put them to sleep? Continue reading

In the lead up to the latest re-make of The Mummy, my greatest hope was that Tom Cruise’s general talent for picking good material meant that this movie would be worth a damn.

Hey Hodgepodgers, Doug here. Every year, I get annoyed at the whole “May the 4th be with You” B.S. that happens every fourth of May. Great, an easy play on words has created an unofficial/official holiday for my favorite movies. Any Star Wars fan worth their salt knows that May 25th should be the actual holiday, because it was on this day in 1977 that Star Wars first burst onto the scene and the public consciousness. That’s 40 years ago for those who are counting.
