I never really got into anime.  I’ve dabbled in some Dragonball Z and seen some Hayao Miyazaki films, but that’s really it.  I’ve heard of the beloved titles, like Akira and Cowboy Bebop, but again, never watched them.  I heard about Ghost in the Shell and knew that it was one of the most beloved anime’s out there.  No anime had been adapted into a live-action American film since the debacle that was Dragonball: Evolution (2009), so this was quite a gamble…

I grew up watching the Power Rangers T.V. show and loving it.  Sure the show was incredibly cheesy and terribly acted, but it was fun and I was watching it when it roughly five years old, an age where I only knew select shapes, numbers, and colors, so obviously this show was going to be my thing with my limited intelligence. As I grew up, I stopped hearing of the Rangers.  I was aware that they continued…

From the studio brought us animated gems like Shrek (2001), How to Train Your Dragon (2010), and Trolls (2016), comes The Boss Baby, an entertaining, fun, ridiculous flick that will slap a smile on your kid’s face for an hour and a half and yours for about 45 minutes. Alec Baldwin voices Boss Baby, a suit-wearing, briefcase-carrying baby who works for Baby Corp, a place where infants with adult-like minds work to preserve infant love everywhere.  Boss Baby infiltrates the family…

There is nothing special about Life.  Everything that happens in this movie we have seen dozens of times before and done better each time.  Even with its stellar cast, nothing in this movie is exciting, original, or scary, causing the movie to do an overall dud. The movie is about a team of scientists aboard the International Space Station that discover a rapidly evolving life form, that caused extinction on Mars, and now threatens the crew…

The opening of CHiPs is a black screen with a warning on it that reads, “The California Highway Patrol does not promote this movie.  At all.”  Well, neither does this reviewer.  CHiPs has a few parts that made me chuckle, but overall is an immature, uneven, unfunny action comedy. When aN F.B.I. agent (Michael Peña) goes undercover in the California Highway Patrol, he is teamed with a reckless, clumsy rookie (Dax Shepard) and the two work…
