I joined Good Morning Texas today to talk about some of the biggest movies opening this month, like Jurassic World Dominion, Lightyear and Elvis. Click HERE to find the segment and take a minute to watch the trailer for Facing Nolan (the Nolan Ryan documentary) below. That’s playing at select Studio Movie Grills so make sure you look for tickets online before heading to the theater. While you’re here, remember to check the Free Movie Passes page to see what I’m giving away. Last time I looked, there were a handful of passes left to see Lightyear in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio!

Rapid Review: “Everything Everywhere All at Once”

A24

It was during a rare quiet moment in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once when a woman behind me said, “This movie is so stupid.”

She must have felt strongly about it because she said it again a half-hour later.

“Seriously…this movie is so stupid.”

She’s not entirely wrong either.

There are moments of blistering stupidity in Everything Everywhere All at Once, but they are sandwiched between broad, existential comments on love, parenting, and the way we view our own precious lives. It’s how this film manages to be absurd, grotesque, and brilliant all at the same time.

MOVIE REVIEWS: “Gifted” & “Going in Style”

I couldn’t get to the Gifted screening this week, despite my admittedly-embarrassing love for Chris Evans. Sorry, but I’m a busy Mom and sometimes sh*t happens, which is why I’m grateful for my movie-buddy Rebekah Black. She was able to see Gifted and write a review for me, though she clearly expected it to suck. Continue reading →

FREE MOVIE PASSES: See “Gifted” EARLY & FOR FREE

We can all pretend that I’m excited about Gifted because I have tremendous respect for Chris Evans’ body of work. I’ll admit that it’s nice to see him OUT of the Captain America suit and working with Octavia Spencer again (they were in Snowpiercer together), but really, I’d watch that man in anything.

FREE MOVIE PASSES: See “The Lego Batman Movie” EARLY & FOR FREE

I NEVER expected to like the first Lego Movie and, as I always say, Low Expectations Are a Film’s Best Friend.
Like that line? Feel free to use it.
The first Lego Movie ended up in my Top 10 Favorite Films of 2014, so now I’m trying to reel in my expectations for The Lego Batman Movie. My kids, on the other hand, are full-blown PUMPED about it.
So, who wants to see The Lego Batman Movie EARLY & FOR FREE? Continue reading →

Mommy-Movie-Review: “The Secret Life of Pets” Looks Strangely Familiar

Have you noticed that Kids’ Movies are starting to look like each other? Maybe it’s because they’re all made by the same studios, writers, and animators, but the characters and storylines are becoming interchangeable. The Secret Life of Pets comes from Illumination Entertainment, the same people who did The Lorax and Despicable Me. It looks so familiar, you’ll be waiting for a Minion to pop up. That doesn’t mean it isn’t also extremely fun to watch. Continue reading →

PODCAST: Talking to Adam Pally from “Dirty Grandpa”

Adam Pally (Happy Endings, The Mindy Project) was in town today and I was lucky enough to hang out with him. Pally was here to promote his new movie Dirty Grandpa with Robert De Niro and Zac Efron, but he discussed everything under the sun with us, from parenting to bowel movements. Adam Pally seriously described his poop to us, which made me love him even more. Thanks to Matt Mungle for joining me in the interview and asking all of the good questions. Click below to hear the interview and then watch the Dirty Grandpa trailer.
