Release: Christmas Day 2019 →Theater Written by: Ronald Bronstein; Josh and Benny Safdie Directed by: Josh and Benny Safdie If they have proven anything in their last two movies it's that few filmmakers stress you out quite like the New York born-and-bred Safdie brothers. Uncut Gems is, in a word, intense. This is a very aggressive mood piece that … Continue reading Uncut Gems

Month in Review: August ’19
Well, whaddya know! The little rink-a-dink movie theater down the road from me has just re-opened, and to the tune of recliner seats, dine-in options and a totally revamped lobby that actually makes you feel like you've made a good decision with your money by having trotted out to the Pictures. Cinépolis Mansfield (the new … Continue reading Month in Review: August ’19
Month in Review: August ’17
To encourage a bit more variety in my blogging posts and to help distance this site from the one of old, I’m installing this monthly post where I summarize the previous month’s activity in a wraparound that will hopefully give people the chance to go back and find stuff they might have missed, as well as … Continue reading Month in Review: August ’17
The Do-Over
Release: Friday, May 27, 2016 (Netflix) [Netflix] Written by: Kevin Barnett; Chris Pappas Directed by: Steven Brill I will never be duped by another Adam Sandler movie again. I will never be duped by another Adam Sandler movie again. I will never be duped by another Adam Sandler movie again. I will never be duped by another Adam Sandler … Continue reading The Do-Over
TBT: 50 First Dates (2004)
Tragically, yet another Drew Sandler-Adam Barrymore film is debuting this coming weekend -- I don't know, something called Blended, and to help celebrate this simply FABULOUS event. . . . (he says, with the entire jar of sarcasm spilled out all over the table). . . I am throwing it back to 2004, to a … Continue reading TBT: 50 First Dates (2004)
TBT: Big Daddy (1999)
May is moving on with or without me, and now that I've committed to doing Adam Sandler movies this month, I kind of can't wait for it to be over so I don't have to be responsible for these posts anymore. I already know several people who question me. I want to make it up … Continue reading TBT: Big Daddy (1999)
TBT: Billy Madison (1995)
As I watch my viewership for this feature steadily decline this month, I fearlessly and somewhat defiantly plod onwards with the Adam Sandler theme for May. So, yes. It's basically more of the same silliness this week. Same guy. Same copious amounts of bullshitting around in front of a camera (and getting paid for it). … Continue reading TBT: Billy Madison (1995)
TBT: Happy Gilmore (1996)
Well, clearly this month is going to go one of two ways for my loyal TBT readers -- May is a month officially dedicated to the trashy, juvenile and downright offensive antics of one Adam Sandler. While I'm of the camp that actually doesn't completely hate his guts yet, his insistence on recycling the same … Continue reading TBT: Happy Gilmore (1996)
TBT: Anger Management (2003)
Even though today's entry is indeed an Adam Sandler picture, this one retains a little bit of value. At least with me it does. Until I am being overthrown by another writer on this blog, Sandler has a decent chance of me actually sticking up for his antics. . . just this one time. Whatever … Continue reading TBT: Anger Management (2003)
TBT: The Waterboy (1998)
To round up August TBTs I really would like to review a football movie in light of the upcoming season that has somehow invited itself upon our doorstep. Yes, the end of August, for me anyway, is quite exciting for reasons beyond upcoming movie releases. This weekend, my Tennessee Vols (Shout Out!) #GBO #YOVO ("You're … Continue reading TBT: The Waterboy (1998)
