The Happytime Murders Still Has Strings Attached

Connie Edwards and Phil Phillips on the scene of the crime. 

After Ted, Deadpool, and Sausage Party it was only a matter of time before puppets were next to get naughty. Unfortunately for The Happytime Murders, Meet the Feebles and Team America beat them to it, leaving its reliance on shock humor little to be desired.

Alpha Leads the Pack

Have no fear, this is not a live-action remake of Alpha and Omega, despite both movies set in the wilderness and an alpha wolf on a journey back home with a companion. Directed by Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli), Alpha takes us back to the Ice Age on how man's best friend came to be as well.

Double Feature: Shut Up Meg

This month gave us two movies with a different set of megs. One who deserves to be silenced while the other is worthy of attention.

BlacKkKlansman Puts the K in A-OK

Blunt, provocative, shocking, funny, and timely. Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman has it all and I loved every minute it.

Eighth Grade is Awkward But Heartfelt

Elsie Fisher as Kayla Day.

Teen movies usually range from sappy (The Space Between Us) to juvenile (American Pie). There might be one or two things that are genuine but the rest never hold's up. Then you have films like Eighth Grade that take you by surprise.

Christopher Robin is Little on Brains but Big in Heart.

"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."
Pooh thought for a little. "How old shall I be then?"
"Ninety-nine."
"Pooh nodded. "I promise," he said.
