‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Review: Cowabunga! This Animated Reboot Has Style to Spare

David Palmer1 Comment

The animation renaissance is upon us and I am here for it! “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” is the seventh feature film of the franchise, and first since 2016’s live-action adaptation. Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon voice the titular team, alongside a supporting cast including Hannibal Buress, Rose Byrne,… Continue reading ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Review: Cowabunga!

Like the Veggie Itself, ‘An American Pickle’ Is Perfectly Fine

David Palmer1 Comment

It has nothing to do with this review, but guys: remember going movie theaters? I relish those days… “An American Pickle” stars Seth Rogen as an immigrant in the 1920s who falls into a vat of pickles and is perfectly preserved for a century, waking up in modern day Brooklyn where he struggles to adapt… Continue reading Like the Veggie Itself, ‘An American Pickle’ Is Perfectly Fine

Oh Boy, ‘Good Boys’ is a Pretty Good Time

The sooner Jacob Tremblay gets “The Predator” buried on his IMDb page, the better. “Good Boys” follows three sixth graders (Jacob Tremblay, Brady Noon, and Keith L. Williams) who must get their stolen drone back from some high school girls before attending a cool kid’s party later that night. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg act… Continue reading Oh Boy, ‘Good Boys’ is a Pretty Good Time

Be Prepared: ‘The Lion King’ Is a Circle of Lifelessness

David Palmer3 Comments

Earlier this year we had “Pet Semetary,” a remake about burying your family pet and having it come back to life ugly and without a soul. Now we have “The Lion King,” which is like what would happen if there was a Movie Semetary that played by the same rules. “The Lion King” is a… Continue reading Be Prepared: ‘The Lion King’ Is a Circle of Lifelessness

The Only Thing ‘Blockers’ Stops is Audiences’ Laughter

Directed by the writer of “Pitch Perfect,” co-written by the guys who created “Harold and Kumar,” produced by the team behind “Superbad” and starring a great, proven cast. What could go wrong? (A lot, apparently) “Blockers” stars Leslie Mann, Ike Barinholtz and John Cena as parents who try to stop their daughters (Kathryn Newton, Geraldine… Continue reading The Only Thing ‘Blockers’ Stops is Audiences’ Laughter

‘The Disaster Artist’ is a Slight, Funny and at Times Heart-Breaking Look at the Creative Process

David PalmerLeave a comment

I would love for James Franco to take on the behind-the-scenes drama of the making of 2015’s “Fantastic Four;” the stories from that are incredible. “The Disaster Artist” depicts the making of “The Room,” the 2003 film that is so awful that is has gained a cult status and is widely accepted as the worst… Continue reading ‘The Disaster Artist’ is a Slight, Funny and at Times Heart-Breaking Look at the Creative Process

‘Sausage Party’ as Funny as it is Thought Provoking

David PalmerLeave a comment

For an animated movie about swearing hot dogs, this thing has a surprising amount of intelligence. “Sausage Party” is a (very) R-rated animated film about food who believe humans are gods sent to save them, but begin to realize what actually happens to them once they are taken out of the supermarket. It stars an… Continue reading ‘Sausage Party’ as Funny as it is Thought Provoking

‘Neighbors 2’ a Rare Comedy Sequel That Works

David Palmer2 Comments

Is that a unicorn? No? Just a comedy sequel that is as good as the original? Huh. Well, they’re both magical and rare, so… [cough] I apologize for that lame intro. Onto the review. “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” is the sequel to the 2014 hit “Neighbors,” which is Seth Rogen’s highest grossing film to date.… Continue reading ‘Neighbors 2’ a Rare Comedy Sequel That Works

Seth Rogen Steals the Show in ‘The Night Before’

A Christmas stoner comedy? I guess you could say Seth Rogen and company are taking the term “high holidays” quite literally! [clears throat] OK, on with the review. “The Night Before” stars Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Anthony Mackie as three lifelong friends who have a tradition of going out and getting drunk on Christmas… Continue reading Seth Rogen Steals the Show in ‘The Night Before’

‘Steve Jobs’ Near-Perfectly Acted and Written Biopic

It’s going to be awkward when Michael Fassbender wins the Oscar for Best Actor over Leonardo DiCaprio for a role that DiCaprio turned down… “Steve Jobs” is a biopic based on the man of the same name. Fassbender plays the titular Apple co-founder, while Seth Rogen portrays Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet plays Joanna Hoffman, and… Continue reading ‘Steve Jobs’ Near-Perfectly Acted and Written Biopic
