When a studio goes back for another bucket from the well, movie-watchers will wonder if what comes up this Time will quench their need, cue the gag reflex, or maybe even make them thirst for more. Director and co-writer Jake Kasdan has come up with a refreshing tale in Jumanji: The Next Level. With screenplay…
The slam-bang of Fast and Furious rolls along right along. This ninth edition of the world-goes-fast franchise isn’t quite a sequel. The adventure directed by David Leitch from the screenplay by Chris Morgan and Drew Pearce does not gather together the familiar ensemble of crafty characters to eliminate the dangers put in front of them…
Can the true tale of a real, live WWE wrestler really be sweet and tender? Well, as far as these things can go, Fighting for My Family did put a bit of a lump in my throat, and not from any sort of chop to the Adam’s apple, either. Directed and written by Stephen Merchant,…
Bad guys foiled by the guy played by Dwayne Johnson? Now that’s a comfortable enough fit for The Rock. Yet still, an eyebrow might be raised at what director and writer Rawson Marshall Thurber put the harried guy by the name of Will Sawyer through in Skyscraper. Maybe both eyebrows. Sawyer, a former FBI guy,…
Transformation is the name of the game in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Four high schoolers of extremely different social strata are tossed into a detention session closet and told to remove staples from a magazine project or something a ludicrous. If they don’t finish, they’ll have to return on Saturday. I don’t believe it.…
You can’t go to a reboot of the late 1980s TV beach ogler Baywatch without expecting a whopping serving of cheesecake shots and cheesy lines, plot and setups. The old school version, original network run and for years in syndication, gave America the team of David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson as Mitch Buchannon and C.J.…
When a movie franchise reaches installment eight, fans are going to the theater either out of habit, fierce loyalty or morbid curiosity. Maybe even some fearful combination of all of the above. Have no fear, lovers of the whiz-bang that started way back in 2001 with The Fast and the Furious. Vin Diesel as the…
The main guys in Central Intelligence sure were different 20 years ago, we see in the flashback that sets up the action comedy starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. The Rock as Robbie Weirdicht was the picked-upon high school doughboy dancing in the locker room shower until the Mean Boys pulled him out and slid…
The car chases for this gang are done. “Furious 7” put the gang through its paces in very fine style. You can read my review of this quite interesting and emotionally loaded final chapter of the franchise in my Film Blog review on the Syracuse New Times site by clicking the link below. http://www.syracusenewtimes.com/furious-7-ties-action-thrilling-tribute/ The…
When his part in the reshooting of “Fast and Furious 7” was completed, The Rock gathered the filming crews around him and had somebody take a shot with his phone, or iPad, or something like that. Anyway, it was a personal moment for the world-famous big man, because soon enough, Dwayne Johnson posted the photo…
