Noisy Liam Neeson movie should have its driver’s license revoked. Although “Retribution” is the American remake of a Spanish film called “El desconocido,” I still think it wants to go for “Speed,” which had a bomb on a bus that… Read More ›
Remake
The Little Mermaid (2023)
This Disney remake sinks and swims. I’ve met Jodi Benson twice in my life, and told her both she and Ariel were beautiful, and she couldn’t be anymore delightful towards me and all the adoring fans who were glowed by… Read More ›
White Men Can’t Jump
Slam dunks and technical fowls collide in this reboot. The 1992 “White Men Can’t Jump” is one of the most stylish and smartest basketball comedies with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as two players and hustlers, who both know how… Read More ›
Peter Pan & Wendy
This can fly, this can fly, this can fly. The story of “Peter Pan” has transitioned for years to relate to the kid in all of us. The part of us where we think we don’t want to grow up,… Read More ›

Father of the Bride
Say “Yes” to this Latino-American version. Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan are the latest leads in this third film version of “Father of the Bride,” after Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett in 1950 and Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in… Read More ›
Memory
Not the Liam Neeson film I’d pay attention to or even remember. The last two Liam Neeson action movies I chose to skip were “The Ice Road” and “Blacklight,” because when I sense a movie will be bad, I’ll take… Read More ›
