Re: “The 20 Greatest Rock Films Ever Made”
Beatles movies? Really? Buddy Holly Story, La Bamba hands down the best and basically true storied and period pieces. Spinal Tap? Really? BEST ROCK MOVIES is this category, not pot head or funniest about fictitious drummers drowning on someone else's vomit.

Re: “David Lean-Noel Coward box set, The Innkeepers among new home entertainment titles”
Love Pariah.
Re: “Hunter Killer: Butler Did It ... Again”
You will see Gary Oldman in more films like this. His 3rd ex wife (3rd) got 25 million in the divorce settlement.
Re: “The Equalizer 2: Soggy Sequel”
You Know, some people can't help themselves. I happen to largely agree with your review, but you have to mention President Trump 3 Times? This film has nothing to do with him. Stretching much? And oh, BTW, if you were going after a liberal, I would also be just as annoyed. Would you insert politics, into, Say, a restaurant review too? If a restaurant starts with letter "T", would you give it a bad review because it reminds you of someone? This nonsense on both sides is getting out of hand. Review films. Leave politics out of it. Remember what NBA Star MJ Said, on why he stayed out of politics when he played: "Republicans buy sneakers too". Whichever side you attack, probably represents about half your reading audience. Why annoy or alienate half your audience? I follow sports, movies, etc., to get AWAY from the constant political garbage.
Re: “Hardcore, Now You See Me 2, Tale of Tales among new home entertainment titles”
Thanks for this. Horror films are definitely my favorite. These reviews added some new movies to my list.
Re: “Fences, Kiss of Death, Red Dawn among new home entertainment titles”
I'm a liberal and a militant leftist and I enjoyed Red Dawn when it came out and I enjoy it now. And the reason you would
Re: “Black Panther, Die Hard, It's Alive Trilogy among new home entertainment titles”
I always thouht Denzel Washington deserved an oscar nod for his performance in Philadelphia. But Die Hard with a Vengeance is far from "So So". That was the best of all the sequels. 2 just tried too much to be like the original. However I still enjoy watching it. To me. Live Free was so so. That last one was shit. I'm sure everyone can agree on that.
Re: “Everybody into the Deadpool 2”
Deadpool 2 can be called a film that needs each moment of your complete attention, straight through to the post-credits scene that is inspired- and it completely merits it.
Re: “Cowboy, The Peanuts Movie, Room among new home entertainment titles”
Thanks for writing, Titus. Admittedly, I saw the film theatrically back in the day as a teenager and didn't care for it then, either. Then again, I can't recall if there was anybody else in attendance, so it's possible it was basically the same as being viewed alone at home. :) But I agree about Gene Kelly: Watching him dance is always one of life's great pleasures.
Cheers!
Re: “Cowboy, The Peanuts Movie, Room among new home entertainment titles”
I'm so sad to see you weren't into Xanadu. It's certainly a weird one and probably doesn't do well being viewed alone at home. My guess is that's why it has its cult following because when you see it on the big screen surrounded by people all buying into the ridiculousness, it can hit ya kinda hard. Plus, the look on Gene Kelly's face when he's dancing makes you just fall in love with him. So genuinely happy to be doing what he's doing. We should all be so lucky.
Re: “A Wrinkle in Time Misses Who, What and Why”
This review is exactly how i felt. My kids liked it but i was bored out of my mind
Re: “A Wrinkle in Time Misses Who, What and Why”
That's a shame. I LOVED Wrinkle and a Swiftly Tilting Planet as a kid, but the movie trailers left me a little cold. Still seeing it though.
Re: “Black Panther springs into action”
Thanks for writing, Tylyn Hyshaw. You are absolutely right. No one who wants to see a certain movie is going to let one critic's review (and a positive one, at that!) deter him, meaning M.G. never had the slightest intention of seeing the film in the first place. As for N.M. Hill, I gave many reasons throughout the review as to why the movie was good, but, predictably, he solely moaned over the film having a black cast and black director. Fortunately, with its record-setting weekend gross, this fine picture doesn't need any help from those crackers who object to its very existence!
Re: “Black Panther springs into action”
M.G if you let a critic who doesn't like Trump or his supporters stop you from seeing a movie you really want to see, then maybe you never planned on see it in the theaters in the first place. That's your right, but don't blame a critic that has nothing to do with the film who gave it a good review.
Re: “Black Panther springs into action”
Mr. Brunson, I am a retired Marine Officer who now does government affairs in DC for multiple development sectors, including the movie theater sector. I also happen to have two graduate degrees, have circumnavigated the globe twice, have lived abroad (prior to the military) and experienced dozens of world cultures first-hand. I also happen to be a Trump supporter. I am NOT a white supremacists, a mouth-breathing simpleton or any other derogatory name to wish to throw around carelessly from your comfortable little bubble of a world. Because I was so offended by your statements (and frustrated by your complete ignorance of the fact you are epitomizing everything you disdain), I didn't even finish your review. I have been looking forward to seeing this movie and taking my children (yes, white children). Now I may wait and when asked why I did not see it in the theaters, I will point to you. You foolish little child.
Re: “Black Panther springs into action”
So, like most liberals, communist, racists and Democrats - or am I being ridiculously redundant and repetitive here by actually separating the four factions? - You give the movie a high rating based on nothing other than the fact that it has a black director and a predominately black cast.
