I've been a film critic for more than ten years, and there are still plenty of filmmakers I'm not really acquainted with. One of those is David Wain, who’s famous for his bizarre and surreal comedies like Wet Hot American Summer, They Came Together, and Role Models. I haven't watched any of those, but after …

Netflix’s Murder Mystery 2 review – a silly & formulaic low-stakes whodunnit that wastes its talented cast
With a title as generic as Murder Mystery, the sequel to Netflix's 2019 action comedy doesn't exactly aim for greatness. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are back reprising their roles as bickering couple Nick and Audrey Spitz (which of course rhymes with sh*t just so they can make some silly joke out of it). We …
JUNE Viewing Recap: INDIAN SUMMERS, Netflix’s Murder Mystery, Unlocked, etc.
I can't believe it's July already... I feel like once July 4th is behind us, we're already more than halfway done with Summer 😦 Well, I actually didn't really do much movie/tv watching around the Fourth weekend as I prefer to make the most of Minnesota Summer outside.

Former SNL cast member Jason Sudekis plays a small-time pot dealer David, who has to assemble a fake family for a mission to transport a 'smidgen' of pot from Mexico. He's convinced that under the disguise …
Movie Jail Relay Race – 12th Round
You've probably seen this Relay Race been going around in the past few months. I love this brilliant idea, courtesy of my pals Nostra and Terrence which started back in late November. Here's the gist: It’s time to put some movie people in jail. The object is to give a prosecutor’s argument as to why …
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) …
