“The Naked Gun” is a spoof sequel — does that make it a ‘Spequel’? And it takes a fresh look at the amazing late 1980’s to early 1990’s movie franchise. When you bring back a classic, well-known concept — you had better deliver the goods. Visual gags, jokes and puns are blasted out from the screen like a confetti shotgun… Read more
“I Know What You Did Last Summer” continues with the (same named) movie that was originally released in 1997. There was a follow-up movie (“I Still Know…yada,yada”).

“Jurassic World Rebirth” is another saga in the ‘Jurassic’ creature-feature kingdom. This is an IP (Intellectual Property) that refuses to die. And as they say – ‘IP finds a way’.

Let’s bring back the original, and then double-down on a more high-tech version of the robotic AI-enhanced android. Read more

Starting with the original film in 1984 (“The Karate Kid”) up to the end of the recent Netflix series (“Cobra Kai”), there have been a lot of karate, kung fu, and teenage angst up on the screen. And now the original “Kid” from first version has become a little older, too. Read more
“A Hard Place” puts an ‘indie’ spin on a 1996 action horror movie called “From Dusk till Dawn”. The older movie shows a group of nasty criminals hiding out after a robbery.

It is very much ‘a hard place’… Read more
“Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” has the edge-of-your-seat Stunts and Action sequences that are unparalleled.
