Growing up, I loved watching the Muppets. My family owned the DVD for the 2011 “Muppets” movie, which focused on Walter and the other Muppets trying to save the studio.  I then watched in theaters “Muppets: Most Wanted.” Once Disney+ was launched, I started watching older movies like the 1979 “Muppets” movie and “A Muppets Christmas Carol.”  I have watched some of the full shows and plenty of clips from “The Muppet Show” that ran as a variety show in the 70s. This group of pu

KPop Demon Hunters A Golden Movie The Oscars are less than a month away, and the nominations are locked in. While movies like “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” will be competing for Best Film, other movies like “Zootopia 2” and “Elio” will be fighting for Best Animated Feature.  The movie with the best odds to win the title of Best Animated Feature is the Netflix original film “KPop Demon Hunters.” With catchy songs, thrilling action sequences and an interesting plot,

MOVIE REVIEW Contrary to popular belief, Jordan Peele is not to thank for “Him ,” a 2025 horror starring Tyriq Withers.   Directed by Justin Tipping, the film follows Cam, a hungry athlete who gets the chance to be mentored by his idol, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans). As he falls deeper into a week of intense training, increasingly strange and violent things happen, revealing an underground satanic cult behind it all.   The messages in the movie are great— sure. It’s a classic

SPOILER ALERT With Jimmy Nichols Scott Pilgrim vs. The World – A comic book come to life  Whenever you mention comic book movies, people immediately think of Marvel or DC movies. They remember watching “Iron Man,” which started the Marvel Cinematic Universes (MCU), the X-Men films in the FOX Universe or maybe the new “Superman” movie.  Most do not think of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” Most people I mentioned this movie to this past week had never even heard of it.   The mov

SPOILER ALERT! With Jimmy Nichols I used 2025 as the year to educate myself on some of the best movies ever made. For the first time, I watched “Good Morning Vietnam,” “Dead Poets Society” and “The Shining.”  Every new movie brought a new experience, enjoyment and appreciation for how movies are laid out and constructed. One movie that builds on this expertly is “Good Will Hunting.”  In the breakout film for future A-list actors, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the audience follo

SPOILER ALERT! With Jimmy Nichols 2025 was a bounce-back year for movies following a lackluster 2024. The releases of “Sinners,” “Superman,” “Weapons,” and “Wicked: For Good” helped cinemas recover following a year with only a couple of noteworthy releases.   One movie released later in the year was only released on Netflix with much fanfare--  the sequel to the “Knives Out” franchise.    This franchise has been one of my favorites since the first movie. Each time they have a

Thankful for this Tradition Thanksgiving is fast approaching, but it is typically overshadowed by Christmas. This is evident at retail stores that are starting holiday deals, radio stations that are starting to play Christmas songs and houses putting up decorations.  There is nowhere that shows the shadow cast by Christmas over Thanksgiving better than in film. Hundreds of movies and specials to watch about Santa coming to town or a Hallmark movie where the big-shot corporate

When people talk about the greatest horror movies of all time, one of the first ones mentioned is “The Silence of the Lambs.”  This slow-burning horror film has turned into a cult classic with its characters, Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill, remaining iconic, recognizable characters in pop culture even after the movie has been out for over 30 years. While it is a cult classic, it does not mean the movie was unappreciated when it was released.  The movie is one of a few to co

The Gunn doesn't jam Superhero movies have become one of the most popular genres of this century. The creation of the critically acclaimed Marvel Cinematic Universe started a chain reaction in Hollywood, creating other superhero movies and universes.  One attempt was Warner Bros. trying to start their own cinematic universe with the DCEU. While there were a few good movies in this extended universe, the majority of the films flopped at both the box office and with the fans. 

Horror and thriller movies are key staples of October. With spooky season in full swing, people are breaking out the classic scary movies to get in the Halloween spirit.  One of these movies is Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film, “The Shining.” I went into this movie with high expectations because it is considered one of the greatest thrillers of all time.  The movie, unfortunately, did not live up to these expectations. While it can be argued how influential it is, the movie felt d

Movie lovers have been blessed in 2025 with some fantastic films. There were superhero films like “The Fantastic Four" and "Superman” and horror movies like "HIM” and “Weapons.”  Few movies this year have received as much love from both critics and fans as the movie “Sinners.” This love for the film set the record for the highest-grossing original movie of the 2020s, earning over $366 million at the box office.  After watching the movie, it deserved every single dollar it got
