Movie Review: CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH

CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH Director: Cooper RaiffStarring: Cooper Raiff, Dakota Johnson, Vanessa Burghardt, Leslie Mann, Brad Garrett, Evan Assante, Raúl Castillo Last year Apple TV+ bought CODA out of the Sundance Film Festival, and it looks like they’re hoping to have another Sundance winner on their hands with Cha Cha Real Smooth from up-and-coming filmmaker Cooper Raiff. Raiff pulls triple duty here by writing, directing, and starring in the film as Andrew. He’s 22 years old living back at home with his mom (Leslie Mann) while trying to save some money. He works at a fast food joint called Meat Sticks but seems to findRead More →

Movie Review: THE BUBBLE

THE BUBBLE Director: Judd ApatowStarring: Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen, Leslie Mann, David Duchovny, Iris Apatow, Keegan-Michael Key, Pedro Pascal, Kate McKinnon, Maria Bakalova By now we’ve seen a few movies and TV shows deal with the pandemic. Writer/director Judd Apatow is adding his take on filming a movie during COVID with The Bubble. Apatow has gathered an all-star cast for his latest comedy. We learn that the 23rd biggest action franchise of all time is set to start filming their latest entry, Cliff Beasts 6, during the pandemic as everything is shut down. Karen Gillan stars as Carol Cobb who arrives on set, and likeRead More →

Movie Review: VACATION

VACATION Writers/Directors: John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein Starring: Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Skyler Gisondo, Steele Stebbins, Leslie Mann, Chris Hemsworth, Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo It’s been 18 years since the last Griswold family vacation in 1997’s Vegas Vacation. There’s a reason for that as that film was extremely disappointing and put a nail in that coffin. We are in a trend where franchises and series seem to be resurrected after decades away to appease the fans. I may have been in the minority in thinking that the idea of a new Griswold family vacation seemed promising. I liked the idea that it wouldRead More →

Movie Trailer: VACATION

VACATION Writer/Director: John Francis Daley, Jonathan M. Goldstein Starring: Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Leslie Mann, Chevy Case, Beverly D’Angelo, Chris Hemsworth           The last time we checked in with the Griswolds they were in Vegas playing Keno. Vegas Vacation did not live up to expectations and basically killed the franchise. I think enough time has passed and audience members are willing to give them another chance. I wouldn’t call this a reboot or remake as we are picking up with the same characters and actors that have come before. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo are back as Clark and Ellen. PerRead More →

Movie Review: THE OTHER WOMAN

THE OTHER WOMAN Director: Nick Cassavetes Starring: Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Taylor Kinney, Nicki Minaj Movies like The Other Woman are the types of movies that usually get flak from the critics, but draw big audiences to the theaters. The stuffier critics will turn their noses and point out the obnoxious characters, cheap jokes, and unrealistic situations in which the characters find themselves. The audience sometimes just wants a fun movie during which they can kick back, enjoy themselves, and not have to think too hard. Let me tell you, you don’t have to think too hard about The Other Woman,Read More →

Movie Review: THIS IS 40

THIS IS 40 Director/Writer: Judd Apatow Starring: Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Megan Fox, Albert Brooks, John Lithgow, Chris Dowd I will take a Paul Rudd movie any day of the week, especially in a script by David Wain or Judd Apatow. This is 40 is a sort of-sequel to Apatow’s previous movie, Knocked Up. Rudd and Leslie Mann revisit those characters as the story centers on their marriage this time around. Debbie (Mann) is celebrating her 40th birthday but she really is pretending it is her 38th birthday. She struggles with this concept and refuses to start feeling older or doing things thatRead More →
