Book Club: The Next Chapter Takes Us On A Vacation To Italy

Book Club: The Next Chapter takes audiences on a much-needed vacation to Italy in a film that is more epic in scope than its predecessor. The studio might have changed but the magic that Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen have not. How often is it that four 65+ women are leading a movie? Not often. Regardless, it is a great credit to both their chemistry and both Bill Holderman and Erin…

80 for Brady Arrives on Blu-ray, DVD

While fans recover from this past weekend’s NFL draft, they can bring home the hysterical 80 for Brady on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. What follows is my original review: 80 for Brady might have some moments that feel too unrealistic to believe but the film is very hysterical with laugh-out-loud moments. It’s no surprise that this film is so hysterical because it’s written by both Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern. The duo created Trophy Wife…

80 for Brady is Hysterical

80 for Brady might have some moments that feel too unrealistic to believe but the film is very hysterical with laugh-out-loud moments. It’s no surprise that this film is so hysterical because it’s written by both Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern. The duo created Trophy Wife and went onto co-write Booksmart. Meanwhile, the cast only elevates the material and their delivery helps bring even more laughter. There are some moments that are so absurd that…

Moving On – Toronto 2022

Cat Ballou: One of the Funniest Westerns Ever

Over 55 years after its theatrical release, the Jane Fonda-starring Cat Ballou remains one of the funniest Westerns of all time. No list of the great Western films is complete without Cat Ballou. The most surprising thing about the film is just how hysterical it is. Mind you, this film came out in theaters before Mel Brooks unveiled Blazing Saddles. What surprises me the most about the film is that Roy Chanslor’s novel takes a…

Yearly Departed S2 Roasts 2021, In Memoriam

Yearly Departed brings on a different set of eulogists in 2021 as the special returns for a second year of roasting the year that was. Yvonne Orji hosts this year’s special, which features eulogies by Jane Fonda, Chelsea Peretti, Meg Stalter, Dulcé Sloan, Aparna Nancherla, and X Mayo. Rachel Brosnahan, one of the executive producers, doesn’t give a eulogy this year but does make an awesome appearance late in the special. I absolutely love her…
