![]() Marvel puts it all together for one of their very best movies yet in Thor: Ragnarok, an absolutely terrific blockbuster, and a damn funny one at that. Crayon colored, heavenly inspired, charismatically performed, deeply rooted yet easily accessible, it would be great even it weren’t a sophistic…

![]() I prefer a comedy after a bad day. Logan ain’t no comedy, but it sure as hell was balm for a bad day. More Johnny Cash than Johnny Storm, it’s the first Country comik movie, yet returns to true X-Men in the end. Marvel, wow. Keep on keeping on with one riveting, arousing blockbuster after an…

![]() Kong has no dong. It’d be too dangerous, which is why Legendary Pictures won’t go there, even with a post-modern blonde playing the strong woman who has a moment or two with him. Hey, how do we even know Kong is male? No dong, no proof. Beautiful Brie Larson may have had an I kissed a girl expe…

The scorned-woman who makes a deal with the devil was just too far afield for me, and in the end, the film seemed l… |

![]() Justice League isn’t a bad movie, contrary to the professional critics. While hardly a great movie, it is very good and a step above Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, its main forbear. At least, it’s very good fo…

![]() Guillermo del Toro struts his story-telling prowess by weaving an implausibly-intriguing love story between a humanoid amphibian and a quirky and homely maid. It’s the implausibility that makes this movie so impressive. One is completely drawn in by the story and the characters, and the fact th… |

![]() The Last Jedi has lots to love and more than a bit to disdain. I found myself un-aggrieved, and loved it. Notwithstanding its blasters and disasters, Rian Johnson’s first Star Wars movie is deeply human and personal, in true Star Wars fashion. “Why did you come?” asks Luke Skywalker in one te…

![]() It was hard for me at first to re-set my internal imagery of what kind of movies that Orcs, Elves, and Fairies should be in. It certainly wasn’t a Will Smith LA cop story. Once I got past that hump, it was pretty entertaining seeing special magical powers and fantasy creatures employed in what o… |
