So many things happening, I hardly know where to start.  I guess I’ll start s of chronologically. In this week’s “Weird, but I would have watched it for sure” story, Apparently the Will Ferrell film Anchorman had a VERY different plot before it was rewritten to the film we now know. Will Ferrell explained, while…

Split Review

DVD Reviews, In Theaters, Movie Reviews, Movie ReviewsBy Neil WeakleyJune 1, 2017Leave a comment

Ok, I had zero interest in Split when it came out because, well, it’s written and directed by M. Night Shymalan, and he really hasn’t had a good film since Unbreakable. Some don’t even include that in the good ones. But I couldn’t even tolerate some of his later films, like The Village or The…

Alien: Covenant Review

In Theaters, In Theaters, Movie ReviewsBy Neil WeakleyMay 19, 2017Leave a comment

I’d say there’s a lot riding on this new installment of the Alien franchise. After the muddled plot and some seemingly silly events of Prometheus, well, it was going to take a lot to get people back on board. Thankfully, director Ridley Scott and writers (wow, there are four of them) Jack Paglen, Michael Green…

As we are officially into the summer movie season, the news just keeps on going. So, we got more of it! In this week’s “Goosebumps galore” story, The trailer for Blade Runner 2049 dropped online, and it makes me all tingly. It actually gives me hope that it will be good. Gotta keep those expectations…
