New From Paramount Home Entertainment: CHICAGO

CHICAGO It’s hard to believe that the movie musical adaptation of Chicago wowed audiences 20 years ago already. The Kander and Ebb musical received the big screen treatment from Rob Marshall who brought the razzle dazzle to life.

Marshall has a top-notch cast on his hands with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger as our murderous mistresses, Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart, respectively. Joining them are Richard Gere (Billy Flynn), Queen Latifah (Mama Morton), John C. Reilly (Amos Hart), and Taye Diggs (Bandleader). Chita Rivera, Broadway’s originalRead More →

PAUL’S TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2022

PAUL’S TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2022 It’s been another big year at the movies. I saw some terrific movies this year, both in the theater and sitting at home with the plethora of streaming services out there. There’s a little something for everyone whether you wanted large action films, horror films, legacy sequels, animation, and more. 2022 also marked my first in person press junket since 2020 with Dwayne Johnson’s DC film Black Adam. Did I mention that I became a dad?!?! That was the very best thing that happened in 2022. As you can imagine, my moviegoing was not nearly as robust as itRead More →

Leave me a comment on social media or on YouTube. Here is “Behind the Mask: A Ranking of the KillersRead More →

FALL MOVIE PREVIEW

FALL MOVIE PREVIEW I shared my Fall Movie Preview on this week’s episode of Twin Cities Live on KSTP. While I would have ranked The Fabelmans as my #1 most anticipated movie, I had a hard time ranking the others and decided on chronological order.

Here’s my segment with a look at: Hocus Pocus 2 (September 30) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (November 11) The Fabelmans (November 23) Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (December 23) Babylon (December 25)Read More →

SCREAM: GHOSTFACE IS BACK

SCREAM: GHOSTFACE IS BACK A few weeks ago Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for Scream, the fifth installment of the iconic horror franchise. I have now lost count on how many times I’ve watched it. I purposely think the trailer is deceiving throwing the audience off in true Scream fashion. Do you really think the filmmakers would allow the trailer to give away spoilers? Paramount has now released a short behind the scenes featurette “Ghostface is Back” that looks to connect the dots between the legacy characters of Sidney, Gale, and Dewey and how they fit back into the horrors in Woodsboro now attackingRead More →
