“The Cursed” is a spooky movie about a creature that stalks a wealthy landowner and his family in France. But the father of this group had brought about his own misfortune, along with the town elders.
In time for Valentine’s Day, I advise you to say “Yes” to “Marry Me.” Sadly, I’m more referring to the song performed by Lopez and Latin music star Maluma rather than the movie. No. The movie isn’t that bad for your typical rom com it’s just what it is… your typical rom com. With that said, for a film of this ilk, the songs were quite good all around. ​

“Blacklight” – Hey it’s no longer only a far-out glow-in-the-dark poster at Spencer’s in the Mall. Now it is a full-blown movie. But this run-of-the-mill thriller is a new way to bring some action to some older actors. There is a big conspiracy at a major government agency, and the hero will get some help from an up-and-coming new journalist. Stop me if you’ve heard this before…
Streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime starting Feb. 11
“I Want You Back” is decent (if predictable) Rom-Com type of movie. It has a bit of a preposterous set-up, but that makes the strangeness that follows a lot of fun. A man gets dumped by his long-time girlfriend, and also a woman gets dumped by her beau on that same day. Then they meet and decide to take on the challenge of breaking up the other one’s new romance. They gleefully chase after Cupid to put a stake in his heart. Hey, what are friends for?
“Moonfall” is blockbuster wannabe, created by the guy who has created many of these types of movies before. The prior efforts of Roland Emmerich have been loud and wild, and with just enough logical sense to keep all the action grounded. But it usually delivers on the ‘put the brain in neutral and pass the popcorn’ style of a fun experience. Here, he gets a little more Science involved, but it is still wild and loud fun.
“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
