**_Entertaining high school dramedy/body swap flick with heart_**
A dispirited 37 year-old man (Matthew Perry) is about to lose his wife and high school sweetheart (Leslie Mann) when he is miraculously able to become, you guessed it, 17 again. Can he possibly learn to be a good husband and father with the assistance of his geeky best friend (Thomas Lennon)?
"17 Again" is magic from beginning to end, with few missteps. It's both a high school dramedy and a second chance fantasy. There are elements of films like "Back to the Future" and "Peggy Sue Got Married," but the uniqueness h…

(CASTELLANO) Matrimonio con hijos es uno de mis recuerdos televisivos más maravillosos. La descubrí en La 2, casi de casualidad, y me atrapó de una manera brutal. Me reía muchísimo con Al Bundy, con Peg, con Kelly, con Bud, con los vecinos, con ese salón horrible, ese sofá, esa escalera, esa casa donde parecía que todo estaba siempre a punto de venirse abajo. Luego, cuando llegué a Estados Unidos y la veía allí en emisión, con episodios de estreno los jueves, ya fue otra cosa. Aquello era una cita. Me meaba de risa.
Lo que tenía esta serie, y sigue teniendo, es que era lo contrario de l…

Utter crap. Sorry, but I see no point in wasting too many words here. Lead actors who clearly have little to no actual martial arts experience, a disjointed mess of a story, plus, at times, excessive gore, that serves no discernible purpose. One to avoid.…

This is fine, if somewhat hectic.
I guess it caters to a younger audience, which needs less buildup and which equates "loud noise" with "tension" and "excitement" but there is nothing wrong with this movie. The assembled cast is good, the acting and directing what it needs to be, and while some of the effects look really cheap, most of it is working well.
The dialogue is nice, some of the characters are silly, but they are fun enough for you to forgive them.
This is reminiscent of Battle: Los Angeles (2011), but from a very different perspective.…

31 years later, Mortal Kombat (1995) is still the best movie in this franchise.
The internet led me to believe that this was a better movie than the 2021 reboot, and it is, in some aspects, but it's still trash. What the !@#$!
Why is the acting so bad?
Why is the choreography so bad?
Why is Shao Khan a !@#$%?! Am I really meant to believe this guy is a conqueror?! How? !@#$in' Cole Young whooped his arse! Liu Kang whooped his arse! Kitana whooped his arse! I assume plot armor is the only thing that saved him from Kitana's dad, since everyone else whoops his arse!
What the !@#$?!…

Giant leeches infiltrate a Florida swamp and people begin disappearing. Typical Roger Corman 50's monster movie with no real story to speak of beyond find and kill the creatures. Has the usual corny characters and the monsters were the obligatory bizarre and cheesy creatures we've all come to know and love. Add a sexy female and there you have it. You may want to watch the MST3K version instead. -- DrNostromo.com…

On a trip to a big sporting event, 6 friends get stuck near a small town named Ambrose where practically everyone is nothing more than wax figures. I love this movie and I don't think it gets nearly the ratings it deserves. Except for a few elements from the Vincent Price version, this is not a remake but rather a whole new spin on the idea. Although the story and acting isn't much more than what you'd expect in a film like this, the gags are priceless and the practical effects are awesome. Brilliantly well made film. -- DrNostromo.com…

After the death of her husband, a woman tries to con her mother-in-law into believing in the ghost of a young girl who died 7 years ago so that she can work her way into the old ladies will. But something far more sinister is going on. Produced by Roger Corman and Written / Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this is an interesting thriller, more for it's nostalgic sense than anything else. It's certainly not a mystery as everything plays out exactly as expected. At the time, I would imagine it was considered a rather grisly affair, though. Not bad. -- DrNostromo.com…

A prominent dentist begins to lose his mind when we sees his wife cavorting with the pool man and proceeds to take it out on his patients. Corbin Bernsen always makes a good psycho and he was the highlight of the film. However, the script didn't really give him much to work with nor did it provide any personality, banter, humor or wit to anyone else making the whole film rather flat and lifeless. The cringe worthy scenes were quite often hampered by bad make-up presenting them more as freakishly grotesque than realistic. Not a great effort. -- DrNostromo.com…

Blum House never disappoints. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026) takes a fascinatingly different route by treating the monster mythos as a slow-burn, atmospheric tragedy. Instead of relying on jump scares, the film builds a heavy, suffocating sense of dread around a grieving family whose returned daughter is clearly no longer human, wrapped in a terrifyingly realistic, decaying state.
The movie shines brightest through its phenomenal sound design—every raspy breath and dry, rustling movement amplifies the isolation of its modern desert setting. It hits a few bumps in the middle when trying to tie …
