Release: Friday, July 7, 2017 [Theater] Written by: Jon Watts; Jonathan Goldstein; John Francis Daley; Christopher Ford; Chris McKenna; Erik Sommers Directed by: Jon Watts The only thing that’s slightly unconvincing about the high school experience as depicted in Jon Watts’ re-re-freakin’-re-boot is the distinct lack of oily skin and pimples. Nobody ever looks as liberated from acneContinue reading “Spider-Man: Homecoming”

Ghostbusters

Pan
Release: Friday, October 9, 2015 [Theater] Written by: Jason Fuchs Directed by: Joe Wright We’re off to Never, Neverland, but unfortunately not quite like in Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman.’ No, Joe Wright’s reboot of a Disney classic is a lot more subdued. This spirited adventure is, at best, an acoustic interpretation of that song and, come to think of it,Continue reading “Pan”

TBT: Casino Royale (2006)
. . .as if it was going to be anything else! Or maybe the choice isn’t as obvious as I think it is. Despite the fact that 2006 doesn’t seem like much of a ‘throwback,’ per se, and that I just sent in a Guest List for the 007 Best Moments in this very film to TheContinue reading “TBT: Casino Royale (2006)”
