I have a 2021 updated list of Kevin Bacon movies and you may be surprised to find that the movie Kevin Bacon is most noted for — Footloose — doesn’t even crack the top 10! What’s with the …
There is no downside to seeing The Upside. As with most movies, I did little due diligence prior to seeing The Upside so I would not have any prejudices entering the film. However, I couldn’t avoid two inescapable thoughts prior to seeing the movie: Bryan Cranston never disappoints and Kevin Hart is a much better actor than a comedian (more …
The movie 21 introduced many to the concept of variable change. But what is variable change? Stay tuned for a lively discussion! During the movie 21 (read my 21 movie review here), we are introduced to a seemingly simple example of probability often referred to by three different names: Variable change, the Monty Hall Problem, and/or conditional probability. The scenario …

Ah, I love this topic. The 80’s are my growing up time. Take a walk down memory lane with me as we review the Top Actresses Of The 1980’s.
In a Star is Born, we have the actor Bradley Cooper playing a singer and the singer Lady Gaga acting. Did this role reversal work? Were they able to pull off a great movie? Read on to find out! First, a disclaimer: I’m not impartial — I am a huge fan of both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I’ve always respected Lady Gaga’s …
A marginal movie can become a really good movie if you enjoy the topic. This was the case when I watched He’s Just Not That Into You. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie because the topic is compelling: Do women realize when a guy is just not into them? The movie is more than that as well…it’s about relationships between men …
I just noticed that the Book of Eli is number one on the latest list of DVD Movies New Releases. I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out and remember a discussion that ensued afterward: Is Eli blind in the movie? After visiting the Book of Eli IMDB page, I realize that many people have this question.
Last night, I watched the movie Funny People with Adam Sandler and many other great young comedians. 20 years ago, you knew what to expect with an Adam Sandler movie; now you don’t. I like that. 20 years ago, all was simply slapstick and often very funny. Now, we still get slapstick but with serious, and sometimes slightly demented, undertones. …
If you’re a fan of gambling (and seeing people bring down the house), you’ll enjoy the movie 21. I certainly did…here is my review of the movie 21! I was anxious to see the movie 21 as I had read the book Bringing Down the House, the book on which the movie is based. However, aside from the idea of …
Gran Torino is the best movie that I have seen in 2009. And though the year is only 24 days old, I am not sure another movie will come along this year to best it. I wonder why. The plot can be explained in a few of sentences: A recently widowed, hard-nosed, prejudice, ex-military, solitary, old man finds himself newly …
At the end of my viewing of Avatar, the audience all clapped. They clapped because the human race fell to a society of extraterrestrials. Why is this? Are humans beings discontent with the world they inhabit, with themselves? In Avatar, human beings set out to obtain a precious commodity called unobtainium that exists on another planet named Pandora. Unfortunately, this …
Last week, I sat through the Michael Jackson movie This Is It and it was one of those rare movies that made me want to…walk out. This Is It basically contains footage of the concert that never was, the concert that was to begin shortly after his sudden death this summer. In Reaction to Michael Jackson’s Death, I wrote about …
The American, starring George Clooney, had the appearance of a great thriller. They marketed this picture as a Bourne Identity type of movie. Substitute George Clooney for Matt Damon and watch the thriller unfold. Right? Wrong! Imagine that Jason Bourne has to lay low for awhile and is instructed to head up to a small village and talk to nobody. …
