Quick Review: AMBULANCE...

I saw the action crime drama Ambulance at AMC theaters earlier today. Just like with Transformers, Armageddon and The Rock, Ambulance had Michael Bay's usual rapid-fire editing and abrupt comedic moments in-between intense action sequences. And the film utilized some really cool drone camera work as well.

And the cast—featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Eiza González and Garret Dillahunt—was pretty awesome too.

Quick Review: THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT...

I saw The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent at AMC theaters earlier today. It's about Nicolas Cage playing Nick Cage—with all of his actual financial problems—as he gets caught up in a kidnapping plot by a crime syndicate run by none other than The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal, whose name in this flick is Javi Gutierrez)...who wants nothing more than to write a screenplay in this "movie within a movie" action drama. I dig that. Unsurprisingly, it's the legendary actor from The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off, Gone in Sixty Seconds and Kick-Ass that Javi wants to star in his film.

The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent is an interesting flick. I had to go on Google to see if Cage does have an ex-wife named Olivia and a daughter named Addy. He does not.

One thing I like about The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent that isn't actually in the movie itself is the use of the song Kill This Love by female K-pop band Blackpink. Check out its music video and the film's trailer below!

THE BROKEN TABLE Will Be Screened at the END OF DAYS FILM FESTIVAL!

Very happy to announce that The Broken Table is an Official Selection at the End of Days Film Festival!

This is the very first event that the film was submitted to when it began its festival run last fall (on December 4), so it is absolutely a great honor to have been chosen!

This awesomely apocalyptic showcase will take place on May 14. For more info, visit the festival's website below!

Movie Review: EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE...

I watched the sci-fi/adventure flick Everything Everywhere All at Once at AMC theaters several hours ago, and needless to say, it deserves to be hugely recognized by the Academy Awards next year...like Parasite was in 2020!

Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis were absolutely fantastic in this film—with them sharing the funniest moments in this movie. Three words: Hot dog hands!

And you know that Everything Everywhere All at Once is a very special flick when director/writers Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert featured a very insightful scene where Michelle Yeoh (as Evelyn Wang) and Stephanie Hsu (as Evelyn's daughter Joy) have a deep conversation about existentialism and the universe...while literally being two rocks sitting on a cliff in a desert. You need to watch this flick to see how great this scene is.

Everything Everywhere All at Once also had very cool action sequences that you would expect in a Michelle Yeoh movie. It's The Matrix, a Marvel film (with all the recent multiverse stuff) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon all rolled into one.

As mentioned earlier, Everything Everywhere All at Once should receive some nominations at the Oscars next year—at least for Best Editing and maybe Best Original Screenplay.

And welcome back to the acting world, Ke Huy Quan! You may remember him as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, as well as Data in The Goonies. Carry on.

Movie Review: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2...

I saw the video game flick Sonic the Hedgehog 2 at AMC theaters earlier today, and it was just as enjoyable as the 2020 original. Though the sequel somewhat goes off on a tangent in the second act during a scene in Hawaii that features Shemar Moore (from the CBS TV series S.W.A.T.) and Natasha Rothwell (of the HBO show Insecure) as an engaged couple that came close to tying the knot had a blue alien hedgehog not make a sudden appearance and ruin the ceremony.

Jim Carrey was even more maniacal as Dr. Robotnik in Sonic 2, while it was great to see James Marsden and Tika Sumpter return as the surrogate parents of Sonic (once again voiced by Ben Schwartz) in this film. Idris Elba does the voice of Knuckles, while Colleen O'Shaughnessey voiced Sonic's newest sidekick, Tails, respectively.

I never played Sonic the Hedgehog video games when I was young (though I really wanted a Sega Genesis console when I was in 6th grade), but I'll assume that—SPOILERS AHEAD—Sonic using the Infinity Stones to become a Super Saiyan as a way to save the day actually occurred in one of games.

Yep, I made an Avengers and Dragon Ball Z reference above. That is all.
