TO GUY RITCHIE, IT’S STILL A MAN’S WORLD

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen an all-male movie made BY men FOR men, but Guy Ritchie is still promoting machismo. Of course, we were initially intrigued by The Gentlemen because of the attractive male cast and Ritchie’s amusing fast way of cutting his scenes- no wasted time. Too bad the men all had scraggly Continue reading “TO GUY RITCHIE, IT’S STILL A MAN’S WORLD”

Elton was known to be litigious and never seemed to have much of a sense of humor about himself. But Rocketman changed everything. The movie is totally fun and very entertaining – obviously destined Continue reading “ROCKETMAN REVEALS ELTON JOHN TO BE AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING, BUT SEE IT ANYWAY”

PET SEMATARY : SOMETIMES DEAD IS BETTER

We feel a little sorry for Jason Clarke (center) because he has to make so many public appearances promoting his new movie Pet Sematary and it’s NOT easy it’s to find good things to say about it!
