Movie Review: Twenty Feet Tall and Still Hiding in the Dark — “The Yeti”
“The Yeti” is a low-budget creature-feature that’s terrible on pretty much every level. Badly scripted, wootacting, dreadful effects that have that cast brushing fake snowflakes out of their hair and lit like a teenager’s in-mom’s-closet podcast, it’s an abominable waste … Continue reading

Movie Review: “The Sheep Detectives” hunt for Suspects when their Shepherd is Offed
I can’t say much for the plot of “The Sheep Detecives,” a children’s murder mystery about talking, crime-solving sheep from those sheep-and-murder mad Brits. The “murder mystery” isn’t particularly mysterious and its solution leaves a lot to be desired. And … Continue reading

Movie Review: A Period Piece as Dated as its Period — “The Choral”

Movie Review: A Stand-up Comic’s last “line” of defense — “Is This Thing On?”
The trailers to “Is This Thing On?” had me hyped to catch it during its awards season run. Will Arnett, one of the funniest actors to hold a SAG card, playing a midlife crisis character who copes by trying his … Continue reading

Netflixable? June Squibb is “Eleanor the Great”

Netflixable? Coogan and Bird Charm their Way through a Class on Fascism — “The Penguin Lessons”
No English speaking actor in film is better at making caddish and insufferably self-absorbed charming than Steve Coogan. That proves to be a saving grace of “The Penguin Lessons,” a sweet saunter through a true story of a rescued bird … Continue reading
