Joel’s review of Deadpool (2016)
After our Valentine’s Day dinner at Sophie’s Bistro, we went to see Deadpool (2016), the first ever Hollywood attempt to make a film about the “Merc with a Mouth.” It’s been in Development Hell for over six years, so it’s been a … Continue reading

Joel’s review of The Big Boss (1971)
Looking for something different on Netflix this week, I came across The Big Boss (1971) starring Bruce Lee. Originally released in the U.S. back in the early 1970s as “Fists of Fury”, I guess it can be found under it’s original title. … Continue reading

Joel’s review of Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
I needed to relax one night, and I decided to catch Edge of Tomorrow on Netflix earlier this week. This came out last year, and it looked interesting, but I never had time to go see it with anyone. The film … Continue reading
Joel’s review of Robocop (2014)
I recently discovered that the 2014 Robocop remake was available on Netflix. Funny — hadn’t noticed it before. I’ve avoided most remakes, including that one for Total Recall. Listen, I’m not against a remake if it is going to be … Continue reading
Joel’s review of John Wick (2014)
My friend Doug and I had not met up in a very long while to hang out. A few months ago, we did meet up for dinner and drinks, but nothing more recent. Guess everyone is super busy these days … Continue reading
The Wolverine (2013)
I borrowed The Wolverine (2013) from our local library last month. This is the sequel to that not-very-good X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) film that came out 2009. I didn’t watch all of Origins, but I watched enough to be traumatized. … Continue reading

Godzilla (2014)
I was in Toronto this week, and my late night flight in on Sunday wore me out. By late Monday afternoon, the coffees were barely helping. After I left the office, my wife and I took care of a last … Continue reading
The Lone Ranger (2013)
After recently browsing the video aisles at our local library branch, I borrowed The Lone Ranger, Gore Verbinski’s 2013 take on the old Lone Ranger radio and classic Western tv character. It stars Armie (Armie?) Hammer as John Reid / … Continue reading
