Daddy's Home 2 (2017) Rated PG-13

Now that the blended family has learned to work together, they add in the grandfathers this Christmas. Starring Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, and Mel Gibson. I really enjoy the premise of these films with the mix of a blended family and working together for the good of the children. I appreciate the concept of how not to be hateful or angry at the exes but rather focusing on how to be the bigger…

Army Wives (Lifetime) Rated TV-14

Four women and a man share in their love/hate relationship of having a spouse in the Army. Starring Brian McNamara, Wendy Davis, and Catherine Bell. This show has both the realness of military life and at the same time has very blatant inaccuracies. It’s warm and funny with characters that you can relate to and come to love. It’s brilliantly written, showing the military in a better light than…

Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders (2022) Rated R

A family reunion at a secluded mansion leaves the guests trapped inside to play the a game. Starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Will Sasso, and Jon Voight. This film reminds me of Saw. It tries to recreate the style of HH Holmes’ Murder Castle as the theme of this film. While it’s written well and the acting isn’t so bad, I’m a little over Meyers’ overacting. He tends to overstate his lines. The …

Danica (2017) Rated TV-14

A behind-the-scenes look at Danica Patrick’s life as a racing superstar. Starring Danica Patrick. This film was supposed to be a background look into the sport of racing and Danica’s life, and while we get a good look at Danica’s life, we don’t get a good look at the racing world. I couldn’t care less about her and what she wants in life. She is open about how she looks at life and what she…

The Strange World of Planet X (1958) Rated NR

A visitor from space warns those on Earth not to play with the Earth’s magnetic field. Starring Forrest Tucker, Gaby André, and Martin Benson. There is nothing about this film that is remarkable; it’s a sci-fi movie that is very B-picturesque. However, the casting is great as Tucker plays the electronic physicist and Benson plays the alien. Then you have the bugs that are filmed under a…

Ride (2014) Rated R

A mother travels to California to convince her son to go back to school. Starring Helen Hunt, Brenton Thwaites, and Julie Dretzin. This film is quintessentially Helen Hunt. It takes on the mother that can’t let her child go. She moves across country in order to learn more about her son. While I thought it was written well and the mother’s point of view changed as time went on, so did her son’s. I…

Cop Out (2010) Rated R

A cop’s rare baseball card gets stolen and since it is the only way he can pay for his daughter’s wedding, his partner joins him in finding the robber. Starring Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan, and Juan Carlos Hernández. I actually thought this film was well written. You also have good actors in roles that are made for them. Both Willis and Morgan knew what the roles required of them. Although, I…

Cool Runnings (1993) Rated PG

A Jamaican runner wants to go to the Olympics, and when he is disqualified as a sprinter he enlists help to start the first Jamaican bobsled team. Starring Leon, Doug E. Doug, and Rawle D. Lewis. While I highly doubt that this film follows the true story of how the Jamaican bobsled team came about, it’s still inspiring. This is an easy going film that is great for the whole family to enjoy. …

CSI: NY (CBS) Rated TV-14

The Forensic scientists and investigators of the New York City Police Department track down the suspects of mysterious and unusual deaths. Starring Gary Sinise, Carmine Giovinazzo, and Hill Harper. Now, I know that this isn’t the best written show, but it is brilliant. The cast is wonderful, and the back stories to the characters make the show worthy. This series makes the job of crime scene…
