With the launch of The Book of Boba Fett finale, Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor finished the uneven run for the Star Wars series. If you haven’t watched the finale yet, please do not read. If you didn’t watch last week’s episode, please do not read. No, seriously, I mean it. The series as a whole has been uneven with the best episodes coming during the back half of the run. What’s most…

FYC screenings started as far back as October if you…

Big Fat Liar, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Frankie Muniz, Paul Giamatti, and Amanda Bynes, marks 20 years since its 2002 release. What makes this rewatch so interesting is all the change in Hollywood since its release. Marty Wolf (Paul Giamatti) would not be able to get away with his antics today. It is beyond impossible. Hell, he even uses the R word, which is an absolute no. Dan Schneider penned the script with…

Brown) Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond base their script on a 1935 French film, Fanfare of Love.

The film is a biopic about Richard, Venus, and Serena Williams and family. It was one of many Oscar contenders to launch last fall.

Just Swipe is a pandemic romantic comedy but the film reunites both Jodie Sweetin and David Lipper from Full House and Fuller House. Let me get this out of the way right now: making a film during a pandemic is no easy feat. That said, you have to applaud the cast and crew for getting it off the ground. Many of us have pandemic fatigue so Just Swipe will probably struggle to find an audience.…

James Bond and Sarah Connor team up in Dante’s Peak, directed by Roger Donaldson and marking the 25th anniversary of its 1997 release. The late 1990s brought about an array of disaster movies.
