The Monuments Men, The Lego Movie, Dallas Buyers Club, Saving Mr. Banks, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Anchorman 2, American Hustle, The Desolation of Smaug, Frozen, Captain Phillips, Thor: The Dark World; these are the new releases I have reviewed since November. They all have one thing in common: I didn’t hate any of…
Baddie – Sibling rivalry. Lesson – Don’t squabble around yard tools. Sometimes movies pop up in my Netflix ‘recommended’ and I’m like, “Ehhhhhh…not convinced.” This was one of those movies that didn’t immediately grab me. However, I watched Cottage Country strictly on the basis that I was having a miserable day and I needed something funny in…

Baddie – Whole lotta ambition, not a lotta time. Lesson – Less is more, particularly in Westerns. Hey all, sorry about last week, I had the flu/was traveling. Rest assured that we are coming back strong with a Wesley Snipes movie about zombie cowboys. I’m so excited! We open with a small child dumping buckets…
This week’s Justified was, surprisingly and unfortunately, disappointing. The more I think about it, the more I realize that it was just every small-scale complaint I’ve had about this season so far piled one on top of another to form a single large-scale complaint. Raylan’s plot was pretty inconsequential. In general, I don’t mind filler…
