55 years ago, Gene Roddenberry, the creator of "Star Trek" wrote the screenplay for an MGM sexploitation comedy/mystery. Roddenberry may have been out of work, but I would have never guessed he wrote this taboo breaking, goofy, sexy comedy. PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW stars Rock Hudson (a long way from Doris Day and "Pillow Talk" here) as high school football coach Tiger. Whenever Tiger turns on that red neon TESTING sign above his locked door, he's supposed to be testing stud

While it might not hit the highs of his "The Haunting of Hill House" or "The Fall of the House of Usher", Mike Flanagan's THE MIDNIGHT CLUB still delivers occasional thrills & chills. Spread over ten episodes (probably two or three too many from a story telling standpoint) the story structure is clever. We meet Ilonka (Iman Benson) just as she's about to enter college. After receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, she instead travels to Brightcliffe, a strange and mystery lade

Have you ever watched an "Airport" movie and wished the cast would get eaten by sharks? Your dream just came true with DEEP WATER, a disaster movie hybrid with some bloody great action but waterlogged special effects. The cast of characters is straight out of a 1970's Airport sequel. Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight) is Ben, the committed First Officer trying to get one last round-trip done so he can get home to his wife and ill son. Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler's List) play

Twenty years after the original, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 struts onto the runway dripping big laughs, stunning locations, prime Meryl Streep and plenty of surprises. As we're dropped back into present day Manhattan, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) has carved out a two decade career as a journalist. Just as she's winning an award for an expose, her entire team is fired and the publication they work for is shuttered. Print and Magazines are dead (yep!) and that's not good for Miranda

MUNICH is brilliant. It's no revelation that Steven Spielberg has made a lot of great movies that we all know and love. This is one of my favorite Spielberg films, and it's also one of his lesser known. Through incredible recreations and stellar casting, MUNICH opens with the Black September terrorists infiltrating the Olympic Village in 1972, holding the Israeli athletes hostage and killing them as the world watches. Spielberg deftly weaves actual news footage into his recre

Anytime I see "Authentic Paranormal Tales" in a film's description, I raise an eyebrow. Am I going to sit through 2 hours of Ghost Hunters where every shadow, pipe creak and cold spot is a tunnel to Hell? No thanks. I was drawn to Netflix's Documentary series TRUE HAUNTING due to its pedigree. Executive Producer James Wan has been behind some of my favorite horror of the past decade, including (as a Producer) Lee Cronin's The Mummy and The Conjuring films. OK, you've got my a

MICHAEL absolutely floored me, blowing away my expectations with at least three historical recreations that soared in Dolby Cinema. It's an absolute thriller. Ignore the naysayers that approached the film with their own agenda, mostly social media warriors that didn't see their own issues addressed. The film takes place from Michael's early years to the kickoff of his BAD Tour in London, before any accusations began surfacing. I'm watching the film as a lifelong fan of MJ's a

They don't make them like this anymore. Thank the film gods. Stately, dull and a complete waste of Bisset & Bergen, RICH AND FAMOUS is a 1981 melodrama that manages to even make sex boring. Director George Cukor (My Fair Lady, The Philadelphia Story, Gaslight) turned out his fair share of film classics in the 40's and 50's, but this was his last, tired film. It's gasping on fumes as it reaches out to a past era of two hankie melodramas. Jacqueline Bisset (Bullitt, Airport) mo

GOOD BOY turns out to be a one-trick puppy, but moments of the trick are undeniably entertaining. The definition of a low-budget horror entry, Writer/Director Ben Leonberg shot the film over 400+ days, capturing natural moments of his own dog Indy on film. And damned if Indy isn't great as the center of the tale. I can't imagine the patience it took to film the puppy for that many months to get the exact right expression/whimper or bark, but Leonberg and Indy nail all the key

Any NFL fan will be hard pressed to not enjoy DRAFT DAY on some level. Your enthusiasm will vary wildly based on your forgiveness for how badly the film fumbles the ball when it gets off the field. Kevin Costner stars as fictional Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver. He has just lost his legendary father/previous Browns GM after firing him the year before. Sonny is facing a draft day that will shape his team and his career as he is truly at the controls for the fir
