“Jackass Forever” is powerful and moving cinema experience with detailed plotting like Christopher Nolan and acting up to a level equal to Daniel Day Lewis. BWAH-HAA-HA! Fooled Ya! It’s just another great example of the S.O.S. theory. If it worked before, give ’em the Same Old Schlock! At least this movie does prove a point. The point that it proves is that a bunch of Villages are missing a whole bunch of Idiots!
With “Jockey,” Clint Bentley does a great job in the double duty task of directing and writing. This is an actual test as his past is in shorts. “Jockey” is his first feature film.

“Scream” is the latest edition of the CSU (Cinematic Scream Universe) that began in 1994. That one was called “Scream”, followed by “Scream 2”. Next came “Scream 3” and after that “Scream 4”. So, now there is movie number five (“5”). And it is called “Scream”. That is the same name used as the first one! Is this is sequel, a remake, a reboot, a reimagining? Is it a ‘re-quel’ (reboot AND a sequel)? It just makes you want to scream!
Exclusively launching on Amazon Prime beginning this Friday January 14th

Pay close attention while viewing because there’s a lot more going on in “Parallel Mothers” than meets the eye. The story pulls you in right away, and you’re following the yarn to its most likely destination, yet as it unspools, it gets deeper and deeper.

“The 355” is an action-packed spy thriller with a definite feminine side. It is from the “studio that brought you Jason Bourne” (as they say). So now in this case, they can deliver ‘Jessica Bourne’, or something along those lines. The actual female spies increase in number and they are not brainwashed assassin cut-outs. They are new stereotyped women leads playing the stereotypical male counterpoint roles. Move over Mister Testosterone — these ladies have arrived!
The Year of 2021 has now ended. Most people are breathing a sigh of relief. But the “Year of Living Pandemically” has shown that movie theaters and Hollywood are (in general) not to be counted out. The biggest problem for the Theaters is “The Rise of the Streamers”. The next biggest issue for Hollywood is the lack of originality.
This is a pleasant tale of love and unselfishness told through the glaring lights of the field where dreams are made. Even if you don’t know who Kurt Warner is or aren’t a big fan of football, you’ll enjoy this movie because it leaves a good impression on its audience. The way “American Underdog” is laid out is moving and, in the end, leaves you with a warm feeling inside. Not half bad for a tale about a guy throwing around the pigskin, wouldn’t you agree? You will.

It’s exquisite.
