That Latin Dude

Down a Dark Hall was…OK but the reviews for it were excellent!

Lots of reviews covered this week for the summer blockbuster hit, Skyscraper.

Only one review is reviewed this week since things took a turn for the strange when I covered Jigsaw.

This week I'm looking at reviews for the PG-13 Groundhog's Day remake, Happy Death Day.

Ghost in the Shell was….meh at best. I knew of the cult following but didn’t know anything about the original 1995 film. The reviews for this 2017 live-action film on the other hand are hilarious! Had a lot of fun putting this one together. Even found reactions from Japanese people! Let me know what you thought of the film and the reviews. Did Scarlett Johansson pull it off? This episode has reviews from: What the Flick?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ueZ71A9og0 GameSpot https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ghost-in-the-shell-review/1100-6449090/ Link to reactions of Japanese people: The Japanese Man Yuta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DhoBuU1Dtc

Kong: Skull Island was a sweet surprise for me! Definitely made to be seen on the big screen (IMAX 3D is completely justified for this and I usually hate 3D films!) Real fun episode since the reviews were "interesting" to say the least. Let me know what you think. Are the reviewers right? Did you see it in 3D? King Kong will totally beat Godzilla...right?!

The first big block buster of the year but reviewers are hating on it. Do they have a point? No, of course not! Watch the video and find out why.

Happy to be back this week with a new episode of Reviews of Reviews John Wick Chapter 2! Most of the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive but have they been honest? Click and find out!

War Dogs. The movie I thought would be a light-hearted romp through Iraq. It was much darker than I had anticipated...and loved it! The critics hate it but the people love it. Find out who's right in this episode of Reviews of Reviews.

I had arrived early to the cinema in anticipation of a crowded theater. To pass the time I had decided to relieve myself in the gentlemen’s room. All had gone well due in large part to my high fiber diet.

I experienced shortness of breath followed by a mild panic attack when I realized that my local movie theater would not be doing an early screening of this film. I would have to break routine and see the film at a different theater. Anytime I break my routine and try something new, it ends in disaster. This would not be any different. Arriving at the theater 40 minutes early due to an unusually punctual Metro would have catastrophic consequences for my well-being. I waited in the lobby as the staff cleaned the theater. I avoided eye contact with everyone that I could. That is until I saw her .

Before I went into the movie theater I decided to redeem a reward coupon for one free soda. Yes, the very same reward coupon from last week . The cashier encountered a problem running the reward coupon. I said “don’t worry, I can wait.” A line started to form behind me. He continued to punch in codes, averting his gaze from the ever growing line.

Happy to roll out the first episode of a new show I am doing: Reviews of Reviews. I look at reviews of current and past films and see if the reviewer actually did their job of informing moviegoers on what to expect and what is worth watching on the silver screen. What makes me an expert? My internet connection!
