AIR (2023) review – Affleck + Damon hit the bullseye with a riveting Air Jordan origin story
I can't imagine a time when Nike wasn't such a sports brand juggernaut, but AIR's insightful exposition that double as an homage to the 80s reveals how Nike was an underdog shoe company back in 1984. Converse, which is now owned by Nike, had the largest market share, followed by Adidas with 29% and Nike …
Guest Review: Office Christmas Party (2016)
I haven’t been a huge fan of recent comedy films. There are a few I’ve enjoyed, but mostly they blur together in a mess of pop culture references, gross-out humor, and lazy sexual innuendo.

Via Twitter, the prolific Twitterer Simon Pegg wrote this last February: Due to an extensive post production schedule you won’t be seeing our little desert caper any time soon. Rest assured it …
Conspicuous Trailer of the Week: The Switch
I first heard about this flick when I blogged about Jason Bateman last September when it was still called The Baster. Yeah, no doubt they went with a 'safer' title though it sounds so generic now (there are eight other movies with that exact title on IMDb!). .... The plot: An unmarried 40-year-old woman (Kassie) …
