Jack Reacher: Movie Review

Jack Reacher: Movie Review

Jack Reacher is a movie you need to watch if you can’t get enough Tom Cruise in your life. Even though pretty much any other Tom Cruise movie ever made will be more satisfying. Given the slow decline of both his box office clout and esteem as an actor since the turn of the millennium, this group of Cruisers is in dangerously low supply here in the 20-teens. The only other people I can imagine selecting this movie for their viewing [...]

Based on a wacky pulp novel by Gary [...]

The 31 Days of Halloween, Day 31: Halloween

The 31 Days of Halloween, Day 31: Halloween

Well, was anybody shocked? Remember, when I was setting up this series — back with Day 1′s write-up of May — I warned you that the actual holiday’s corresponding movie was going to be a predictable choice. Given that John Carpenter’s Halloween a.) shares a name with the holiday, b.) is set on the holiday in question, and c.) is the greatest horror movie of all time… well, if you’re shocked by this, you may be quite dumb. Regardless, I [...]
