The Juice is loose, baby!  Beetlejuice is back decades later with another successful 30(+) years later sequel with much of the same cast, story continuation and themes.  It is financially a hit and very successful.  But is it enough to get that critical acclaim?  We think not, but only just.  It is, however, a very fun Beetlejuice film so how can we complain?  Have a listen and find out.       0:15:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:30:00 *** What's Streaming  *** DISNEY+ FIRST KID, Dir.

Ronald Reagan is a president most people know by name, picture, and sound bite.  He had more than a few very important decisions to make while in the White House and, sadly, this film doesn't cover all of those defining moments as it is based on a 2006 book, "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism."  As always- we do suggest watching this but know that this film takes a handful of jelly beans when it wanted to take just a few of one color.      0:18:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:33:35 *** What's Streaming  *** AMAZON THE WHALE, Dir.

Jackpot! is what you think a higher budget comedy about a lottery winner who must survive until a certain time to claim her winnings would be- it's written poorly at best, very few of the jokes land, and plot holes so big, you can drive a semi truck though- but it does have a hearty chuckle or two.  John Reno is, as always, the best part of this.  Hands down.    JACKPOT!, Dir.

The Crow (1994) is a film that probably should never have been touched after the 90's and very early 2000's.  It's remembered first for infamy and tragedy on set.  It's with a heavy heart that we find this updated version (2024) to be lacking in many ways, unfortunately.  There are some good things, though!      0:11:30 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:17:30 *** What's Streaming  *** Netflix THE RUNDOWN, Dir.

We are happy to give our seal of approval for Alien: Romulus.  It feels very much like an Alien film- how they used to look and feel.  We et much more insight into what the Alien is, it's purpose, and what The Company knows.  The question is, where do we go from here?          0:07:20 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:11:40 *** What's Streaming  ***MAX THE SEA OF TREES, Dir.

It Ends With Us is a solid movie.  It has some absolutely wonderful line deliveries and performances along with pretty solid casting choices.  You may have to sit through a bit of, what some would call, filler to get to the better stuff unfortunately.  Not as good a date movie as you would think.       0:07:15 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:22:20 *** What's Streaming  ***HULU ALIEN, Dir.

M. Night Shyamalan has made some pretty interesting films.  Most are at the beginning of his career with a few at the end also.  This one, sadly, isn't inline with his best, but certainly not his worst either.  Josh Hartnett is absolutely wonderful as the unhinged Cooper.  He makes the price of admission with it.   0:12:40 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:38:45 *** What's Streaming  *** DISNEY+ THE MIGHTY DUCKS, Dir.

Deadpool & Wolverine is a win on so many levels. Fan service is absolutely unmatched, Hugh Jackman returns to the MCU for the foreseeable future, and the film absolutely wonderful moments.  There is probably too much talking by Deadpool BUT that is easily tolerable for this.  Let's have a few more wins, Marvel.  Please? 0:20:51 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:21:15 *** What's Streaming  *** AMAZON THE COMPANY MEN, Dir.

Twister (1996) had a A list cast and was a pretty great, action packed ride from start to finish.  Twisters is that and, for better or worse, a little more with the help of Joseph Kosinski (Tron Legacy and Top Gun: Maverick) bringing the story.  Twisters is an homage to Twister (1996) with so many great callbacks to the original.  This is one you absolutely not miss in the theater. 0:11:30 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:27:30 *** What's Streaming  *** NETFLIX TOP GUN: MAVERICK, Dir Joseph Kosinski – Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Miles Teller, Val Kilmer, Jon Hamm, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Lewis Pullman, Monica Barbaro, Ed Harris, 2022.

Lomglegs is a decent to good to almost great thriller.  It's well written and realized well, though the end, for most comes to hard and too fast and or falls completely flat.  Our discussion includes both ways of seeing it.  But, one thing is for sure.  you SHOULD watch it in the theater.        0:08:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:15:00 *** What's Streaming  *** MAX TWISTER, Dir.

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 should have been a slam dunk for box office.  Kevin Costner behind and in front of the camera for a very large scale Western released in multiple theatrical chapters.  Somehow, though, it's not a box-office success.
