I initially thought that making another Jurassic Park film was an exercise in superfluous redundancy. Well, I still kind of think that, but as one of the summer’s surprises, Jurassic World is actually pretty entertaining. Not that the film offers any surprises, mind you. There are no “didn’t see that coming” moments in the film itself.…
Stop WHATEVER you’re doing right now and get tickets to see this film. Mad Max: Fury Road is just too good to pass up. This is a BIG screen film. I even saw it at the main screen at the Chinese Theater, IMAX, Real LASER 3-D, and I was impressed on all counts. Same premise…
Wait, so, this is a small independent zombie thriller staring Arnold Schwarzenegger? Really? I would not have thought Arnold would take such a low key role that frankly, doesn’t put him in the spotlight. But, here it is. In a post zombie virus-infected world, Arnold plays Wade, a husband, and father to daughter Maggie, who…
Well, this is interesting. Two reviews of the Avengers sequel. And they’re different. Like CJ, I didn’t read a lot of Avengers comics. But I did read them occasionally. I couldn’t tell you a lot about their overall plot lines and such, but I knew enough about the characters to be aware of them and…
April can be a month where good films go to be alone. If it’s not a high profile movie taking advantage of the pre-summer blockbuster season, like Furious 7, then it can go unnoticed without enough marketing. Such is the case with True Story, a film I don’t think I even saw one TV trailer…
For all the talking we do at the Comedy Film Nerds gargoyle garage about how hard it is to find really good science fiction these days, I have to admit that I’m impressed with 2015 so far. We already have two great sci-fi films and we’re only a quarter of the way into the year.…
Hey there! I’m back to regale you with the rest of the TCM Classic Film Festival weekend! When we left our protagonist (me), he – I – was preparing for Saturday’s events. Ha, yeah, well, I was arranging and re-arranging my schedule for the day. Saturday was particularly confounding because the choices were nigh impossible…
As we came upon the end of March this year I though, “Cool, Monsterpalooza time!” Then I was like, “Wait, it’s Turner Classic Movie Festival time!” Oh, choices, choices. Though I love Monsterpalooza tons, the TCM Film Fest had an amazing schedule this year. Well, equally amazing and frustrating. Every single day this year was…
Seriously, if there is any one film everyone on Earth should see, it’s this one. I know a fair amount about Scientology, maybe more than is comfortable. But I STILL learned a few things I didn’t know by watching this documentary, based on the book of the same name by Lawrence Wright. Scientology…
Liam Neeson’s action movie binge continues with Run All Night, a serviceable thriller with a good cast that sells the material. It might not be award-winning stuff, but it’s a decent watch. The cast really does elevate the material, and as usual, Neeson makes the most of the genre. Just as well, too. I read…
