The Peanut Butter Falcon is a tiny, gentle film we don’t see anymore. And before people jump on me with examples of indie films, hear me out. What I am talking about is having stars (Dakota Johnson, Bruce Dern), a few character actors (Thomas Haden Church, John Hawkes) and one problematic yet excellent actor (Shia LaBeouf) come together…

It seems we are not “out of the woods” yet, regarding these “30 years later sequels” to classics. Yes, I don’t think it’s a controversial opinion, but I consider the original Coming to America (1988) one of the comedy classics of that time and a movie I must have seen at least four or five times.

Long before she became Kate Bishop in the MCU show Hawkeye (2021, my review here), I knew of Hailee Steinfeld, and I heard tales about this film. Tales about how this film is actually a pretty awesome depiction of how it feels to be a teenager, so this has been on my radar/watchlist for a long time. So one…

Or Ridley Scott, making a few movies with Russell Crowe. Well, now, we have Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds in their second collaboration (the first being Free Guy (2021, my review here)) and the…

As I’ve mentioned in my review for It (2017, my review here), I had little to no knowledge of this story. I have yet to read the book, have not watched the mini-series from 1990, but even I knew that the story was split into two eras. And given the first It movie was such a success, both critically and money-wise…

At the height of his power, his most “Clooneyness”, George Clooney teamed up with his mate Steven Soderbergh (who arguable was also at the height of his career) to… remake Solaris (1972), the Tarkovsky‘s classic that was almost three hours long? Yep, that’s what you do. Well, that is what you do when you are these two guys. And they’ve managed to…
