J.R.R. Tolkien gave us the book âThe Lord Of The Ringsâ 69 years ago and creators are still adapting that legendary work. Do they always respect his work and not mangle it to reflect their worldview? Definitely not. See âThe Rings Of Powerâ TV series. This week we get a movie adaptation of a very brief side story to âThe Lord Of The Ringsâ in anime form. That movie is âThe Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim.â This movie appears to have the full backing of Peter Jackson, who directed the exemplary âThe Lord Of The Ringsâ triilogy and the not so exemplary âThe Hobbitâ trilogy. This new movie features the kingdom of Rohan and its king, Helm Hammerhand and his war against Wulf, who vows to kill Helm because Helm killed his father with one punch. Whatâs new, that was most definitely not in the âAppendicesâ book that Tolkien wrote, that this movie is based on his Hera Hammerhand, Helmâs daughter. Sheâs really the main character in that sheâs portrayed as the main savior of Rohan. When the war becomes too intense, and Rohan is on the brink of extinction, the people of Rohan retreat to what they call the Hornburg. Thanks to the movie âThe Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towersâ, it prominently became known as Helmâs Deep, named after Helm Hammerhand. Helm is voiced by well-known character actor Brian Cox. Can Helm, Hera and the people of Rohan survive the war against Wulf? Is it worth finding out? Check out this episode to find out!

Many people think that Lethal Weapon with Mel Gibson is a Christmas movie. This week I retro review a Mel Gibson movie, Fatman, that leaves no doubt that itâs a Christmas movie. I mean, Gibson plays Santa Claus so come on! Now this isnât your fantastical, wondrous North Pole that you see in Rudolph, The Red Nose Reindeer or Elf. Gibsonâs Santa lives on a very northerly remote farm location instead in this more grounded, brilliantly bizarre and violent Christmas tale. Santa and Mrs. Claus are falling on some hard financial times with all the money theyâre spending on making and delivering gifts to all the kids worldwide. In comes the U.S. military to provide them a new lucrative opportunity to make their not-so-merry money mayhem go away. Santa has to wrestle with his convictions in deciding on accepting these new âmilk and cookiesâ from them. As if that werenât enough, he has no idea that a kid, who rightfully got coal for Christmas, has hired a hitman to kill him. The hitman, played by the fantastic Walton Goggins, also has a certain bone to pick with jolly ol Saint Nick. Woe to anyone that gets in his way in his mission, including Santaâs elves. Is it worth you delaying your Christmas shopping to watch Fatman? Check out this review to find out! Fatman also stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Chance Hurstfield, Susanne Sutchy, Robert Bockstael, Michael Dyson, Deborah Grover, Ellison Grier Butler, Eric Woolfe, Lynne Adams and Ekaterina Baker.

Has your Christmas season ever consisted of a squirrel terrorizing your family, a rusty eyesore flea-bitten RV parked out in front of your house, putting up so many Christmas lights you blackout the rest of the city, a SWAT team attacking your house during a kidnapping, etc., etc.? Thatâs just whatâs in the stockings, not to mention whatâs under the Christmas tree, in this weekâs movie, National Lampoonâs Christmas Vacation. Thanksgiving is over, Black Friday black eyes are healing and the leftovers are stale so itâs time to get some Christmas movies under our belt this season. Christmas Vacation was the Vacation franchise rebound from the utter failure that was European Vacation. Chevy Chase returns as the dim-witted Clark Griswold, who this time is just trying to put together the perfect Christmas for his family. Itâs a beautiful plan on paper until you put a guy named Clark Griswold in charge of it, and add in Cousin Eddie played by the perfect for the role, Randy Quaid. Of course Clark, as he always does, tries too hard and things get burnt, soaked, maimed, etc. You know, like your traditional Christmas. This movie is a go-to Christmas classic for many and it deserves a deeper dive into. So letâs tear the gift wrapping off this movie and dig in! Christmas Vacation also stars Beverly DâAngelo, Johnny Galecki, Juliette Lewis, John Randolph, Diane Ladd, E.G. Marshall, Doris Roberts, Miriam Flynn, William Hickey, Sam McMurray, Nicholas Guest, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brian Doyle-Murray and Nicollete Scorsese.

Itâs been 24 years since âGladiatorâ took the world by storm and spawned a whole new era of swords and sandals movies. Will itâs sequel âGladiator IIâ, our movie for this week, do the same? We shall see. This time the main character is Lucius, who we met as a young boy in the original âGladiator.â Heâs the son of Lucilla, and itâs revealed in the trailers, the son of Maximus, Russell Croweâs character from âGladiator.â Lucius suffers a tragedy early in the movie and is made a slave and then rises up as a gladiator for Macrinus, played by Denzel Washington. Macrinus is not all he appears to be and is proven to be power hungry and wants to use Lucius as his instrument for power. Another main character is General Acacius, played by Pedro Pascal, who is the leader of the Roman army who fight for Emperor Geta and Emperor Caracalla, played by Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger respectively. Acacius isnât exactly excited anymore to be dispatched like an errand boy by these emperors to kill people all over the world and conquer lands. Connie Nielsen returns to play Lucilla and as she sees a particular gladiator fight in the Colosseum, she starts to get a feeling that she knows this man. All of these worlds will collide. Sometimes sequels surpass the quality of the original. Does âGladiator IIâ accomplish that feat? Check out this episode to find out! âGladiator IIâ also stars Derek Jacobi, Yuval Gonen, Rory McCann, Peter Mensah, Matt Lucas, Tim McInnerny, Alexander Karim and Lior Raz.

In anticipation of the upcoming release of âGladiator IIâ, Iâm retro-reviewing the Best Picture Oscar-winning original âGladiatorâ this episode. You will not have to ask if youâre entertained with this review because âGladiatorâ is one of the most beloved movies of all time. Itâs the movie that made even your Grandma aware of who Russell Crowe was. It launched a whole era of swords and sandals movies and TV series afterwards. It won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe playing General Maximus Decimus Meridius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife who would have his vengeance in this life, or the next. Many motivational and meme-worthy quotes were introduced into the zeitgeist by this movie: âAre you not entertained?â, âWhat we do in life, echoes in eternity.â I could go on, and I will, in this episode all about this Ridley Scott classic about a Roman general, made a slave, who became a gladiator then later, the savior of Rome. You could consider this part of your âhomeworkâ for brushing up on what happened in âGladiatorâ before you rush out to see âGladiator II.â âGladiatorâ also stars Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Djiman Hounsou, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, David Schofield, John Schrapnel, Tomas Arana, Ralf Moeller, Spencer Treat Clark, David Hemmings, Tommy Flanagan and Sven-Ole Thorsen.

Hugh Grant is most well known for his comedic and gentler performances in âFour Weddings and a Funeralâ and âAbout A Boy.â Thatâs not what youâre getting from ol Hughie in this weekâs movie Iâm reviewing, âHeretic.â In this movie he comes off like heâd be right at home being roommates with Hannibal Lecter. He plays the mysterious Mr. Reed, who two Mormon women visiting his home to perhaps convert him, are unfortunate enough to meet. The women are Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton, played respectively by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, and they early on suspect that their conversion attempt might turn into a survival game. Mr. Reed is no uninitiated, uninformed candidate for religious conversion. You realize that heâs very well versed in all things religion. However, you also realize heâs got other characteristics that are more sinister that the poor sisters just might have to worry about. What are those characteristics? Will the poor sisters make it out alive? Is it worth finding out in theaters? Check out this episode to find out! âHereticâ also stars Topher Grace, Elle Young, Julie Lynn Mortensen, Haylie Hansen, Elle McKinnon and Anesha Bailey.

Remember a scant 12 years ago when, if you wanted to see election stupidity, you likely had to watch a comedy movie? A movie like the subject of this weekâs review, âThe Campaignâ, where you see all kinds of crazy hi-jinks. Of course, most of the zany stuff you see in this movie seems quaint compared to what you see in our elections nowadays. This yearâs presidential election is why Iâm reviewing this Will Ferrell/Zach Galifianakis political comedy where Ferrell plays Cam Brady and Galifinakis plays Marty Huggins. Theyâre both running for a congressional seat and Marty, the newcomer to the political game, finds out how sick and depraved running for office actually is. Marty isnât what youâd call your typical steak and eggs, iron-jawed, hard hat-wearing, sports-lovinâ, rugged manâs man. The donors pretty much running his campaign, the Motch Brothers played by John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd, send their man to âmanâ Marty up. Cam is the corrupt veteran congressman and heâs bound and determined to make Marty sorry he even thought about running. That just fires Marty up even more to beat Cam but will it change him for the worse? Is it worth finding out? Check out this episode to find out. âThe Campaignâ also stars Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, Katherine LaNasa, Sarah Baker, Brian Cox, Karen Maruyama, Grant Goodman, Kya Haywood, Randal D. Cunningham, Madison Wolfe, Thomas Middleditch, Josh Lawson, Heather Lawless and Jack McBrayer.

In this episode, I discuss a sequel that may or may not have really been needed. That sequel is âJoker: Folie a Deuxâ which means Joker: two people sharing a delusion. The original âJokerâ from 2019 was a movie that most people werenât looking forward to but ended up being a $1 billion dollar surprise at the box office. It wasnât just a great movie based on a comic book character. It was a great movie period with itâs entertainingly dark atmosphere and menace and a Best Actor Oscar-winning performance from Joaquin Phoenix. Now Phoenix returns to show us the rest of Jokerâs story after we last saw him being a bad boy at Arkham Asylum. Does he escape? Does he continue to create bloody havoc? Will he meet a pop star in prison? Well, that last one is true as we see in the trailers with Lady Gaga joining the cast as Harley Quinn. Is this movie worth your time, or should you just watch the original again? Find out with this episode. âJoker: Folie a Deuxâ also stars Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beetz, Steve Coogan, Harry Lawtey, Leigh Gill, Ken Leung, Jacob Lofland and Bill Smitrovich.

Are you sick of watching feel-good, heart-warming movies? I think Iâve got the cure with âThe Substance.â Demi Moore plays an aging actress, not so unlike herself, named Elisabeth Sparkle whoâs Oscar-winning movie career has plummeted. Itâs plummeted so much, sheâs the host of a Jane Fonda-type workout show. Now, because of her age, sheâs even in danger of being fired from that. Also, she doesnât get the looks from the men anymore that she used to. Sheâs just feeling extremely depressed about her own mortality and her perceived lack of worth. Enter in The Substance. Sheâs made aware of The Substance and how it can create a younger, more beautiful, âbetterâ version of yourself. The rule is, the younger version of yourself gets seven days out in the world and then you get seven days. This must be respected. The balance must be respected or else. You are both the same person, not two separate people. As long as you follow the rules, the unspeakable wonât happen. Elisabethâs younger self, named Sue, is âbornâ and quickly gets the adoration and career success that Elisabeth once had and itâs addictive. Can she, and Elisabeth follow the seemingly simple seven day rule? As you mightâve guessed, they probably donât and this movie may, or may not, present the most disturbing and horrifying visuals youâve ever seen. Is that part of a whole that makes this movie a must-see, or does it just make it a movie you should stay as far away as possible from? Watch this episode to find out! âThe Substanceâ also stars Dennis Quaid in a hilariously, over-the-top performance as a misogynistic Hollywood studio head, maybe not coincidentally named Harvey.

You are not supposed to say the name âBeetlejuiceâ three times, otherwise he will appear. Someone mustâve said gone and said it because heâs back in theaters 36 years after we last saw him in 1988 in âBeetlejuice Beetlejuice.â Michael Keaton reprises yet another one of the characters that made him the star that he is along with Winona Ryder, as Lydia Deetz, and Catherine OâHara, as Delia Deetz, from the original. Also, Tim Burton returns to direct this sequel to the movie that pretty much got him the âBatmanâ job. Burton does again feature the afterlife oddities and general weirdness but amplifies it for todayâs audience. It all starts with Lydia seeing Beetlejuice visions and needing to reunite with her daughter, Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega. Events soon lead them to the house from the first movie and all that lie within, including the title character, who hasnât forgotten Lydia. However, thereâs a ghostly figure, named Delores played by Monica Bellucci, who hasnât forgotten about Beetlejuice. Sheâs on the hunt for her man and woe to any that get in her way. Tim Burton also brings in some new characters like Rory, played by Justin Theroux and Wolf Jackson played by Willem Dafoe. Will it haunt you forever if you donât go see this at the theater? Check out this episode to find out that very thing. âBeetlejuice Beetlejuiceâ also stars Arthur Conti, Nick Kellington, Santiago Cabrera, Burn Gorman, Danny DeVito, Sami Slimane and Amy Nuttall.

When people make a list of iconic American presidents, the subject of this weekâs movie is on most of them. Dennis Quaid plays our 40th American president, Ronald Reagan, in the long-coming movie âReagan.â This movie doesnât just tell the tale of the presidential years of Reagan. It spans his life from when he was a young boy up until his death. We see his humble beginnings in Iowa to him realizing he needs to stand up to bullies, including the Soviet Union. Even as far back as when he was simply known as an actor, he saw the Soviet Union attempting, and succeeding, to infiltrate many institutions in America, including Hollywood. He knew they were trying to turn America into another Soviet Union and he fought it. Later we see him meet the love of his life Nancy and itâs made apparent that she stands behind him in everything he does. Of course, the movie features the Reagan most people over a certain age know. The California governor and our president. Does this movie do this American icon justice? Check out this episode to find out. âReaganâ also stars Penelope Ann Miller, Mena Suvari, C. Thomas Howell, Amanda Righetti, Jon Voight, Justin Chatwin, Kevin Dillon, Kevin Sorbo, Xander Berkeley, Lesley-Anne Down and Robert Davi.

In the original movie âThe Crowâ in 1994, thereâs a prominent refrain of âIt canât rain all the time.â of course meaning sometimes it rains and sometimes thereâs sun. Is this new retelling of âThe Crowâ in 2024 going to bring us rain or sun? Is it going to disappoint or will it entertain? Youâll have to watch this episode to find out. The new âThe Crowâ stars Bill Skarsgard (It, Barbarian, John Wick 4) as Eric Draven and FKA twigs as his true love, Shelly. The movie is kicked off by a friend of Shellyâs letting her know that there is something she has that incriminates the big, bad guy in this, played by Danny Huston. As youâd expect, the bad guys know about this and kick off the chase element of this movie. Shelly, in the meantime, is sent to a massive drug rehab center/prison where she meets, and strikes up a relationship with Eric. In one way this turns out to be a bad turn of fate for Eric because he and Shelly are murdered because she knows about that incriminating evidence. Eric, however, isnât sent to the afterlife, he is offered a chance to go back to the land of the living and put right what was made wrong. In other words, find the scumbags that killed him and Shelly and exact terrible revenge on them. This way he and Shelly can find peace. Also, he has a crow to play criminal Google Maps for him to help Eric find the right baddies.

There, they are greeted by Herr Konig, who runs the resort and for who Gretchenâs Dad and stepmom will help build a new resort.

Sheâs already the stereotypical angst-filled teenager, but soon she also finds herself chased by horrifying entities, and trying to help a cop figure out whoâs responsible for several murders at the resort. All while, trying not to get killed and survive one more minute with her stepmom and half-sister, whom she despises.

In 1996, a summer blockbuster movie blew into theaters and knocked everybody off their feet. That movie was âTwisterâ and starred Helen Hunt and the late, great Bill Paxton. Now 28 years later, we get a long awaited follow-up to that tornado-terrific, earth-moving box office hit, called âTwisters.â Now instead of Bill Paxton, the rapidly rising star Glen Powell tries to fill his boots. He plays Tyler, who calls himself a tornado wrangler who likes to go viral and peddle his merch. One of his phrases, as he tries to entertain his fans, is âYou donât face your fears. You ride emâ!â We also have Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kate, who was a storm chaser until tragedy struck, and so now she stays out of the field. Just so the plot can move forward, sheâs coaxed back out into the wild, windy west to help some other storm chasers potentially save lives from a mass of tornadoes. All these characters bring their impressive and intricate modern day technology to this world of tornadoes, but no amount of tech will save you from the deadly, disastrously massive force of a tornado and the debris that it turns into lethal projectiles. Will Tyler take it too far in finding that rush? Can Kate do anything to give the people in the path of these fatal forces of nature a chance? Is it worth finding out? Check out this episode to find out! âTwistersâ also stars Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Harry Hadden-Paton, Sasha Lane, Daryl McCormack, Kiernan Shipka, Nik Dodani, David Corenswet, Tunde Adebimpe, Katy OâBrian, David Born, Paul Scheer, Laura Poe, Austin Bullock and Stephen Oyoung.
