Since I’ve got a fairly busy weekend ahead of me, my sister and I decided to go see the Seth Rogan produced, Good Boys, last night. This was hands down the funniest movie I’ve seen all year! It was absolutely hysterical. I will say that since I’ve only seen Jacob Tremblay in dramas, and he’s been previously nominated for a SAG award, it was hard for me to reconcile seeing him in this raunchy comedy. Either way, it was fantastic.

Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood was a Bit of a Letdown
Look, I say that, but I did enjoy it. It was classic Tarantino in many ways and that made me very happy, but it was also just a bit sluggish and disconnected. But after the great disappointment that was The Hateful Eight, I was at least more pleased with this subject matter. It also had what I loved about Inglorious Basterds, in that it focused on real historical events, and then just turning them on its head for a different/better outcome. And the gore, let’s not forget the gore! I could have used a little more, but the final scene in the movie made up for it for the most part.
Read moreComedy Movie Review: Stuber
After Friday’s epic fail of a movie, I was hopeful that Stuber was going to be a better ride – and it was! The film follows Vic, a cop looking to take down the drug trafficker who gunned down his partner, and Stu, a part time Uber driver just looking to not rock the boat in his everyday life. That all changes when Vic gets in his car!
Read moreMediocre Murder Mystery
Last night I decided to give Adam Sandler’s latest Neflix film, Murder Mystery, a shot, and I wasn’t really all too impressed. But it’s a comedy, and I’m not humorless, so I definitely threw out some laughs.
Read moreLate Night Movie Review
Last night I went and saw Late Night! I know there is still half of 2019 left, but I think I may have just found my favorite film of the year! It just had such a nice mix of everything and a stellar cast. And the hair on my arms stood up towards the end, which I don’t recall happening during any other film I’ve seen so far.

Alliterations aside, it’s true. I think I watched the most random array of movies this weekend, and in my book, they were all winners. For wildly different reasons, of course.
Read moreSeason Finales: Brooklyn 99, Superstore
Due to my time at an all-weekend festival, I wasn’t able to watch the one-hour season finale episodes for both Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Superstore until yesterday. Before I get into the recaps, I can say both were comedy gold!
Read moreWine Country Movie Review
This weekend I managed to squeeze in a comedy released Friday on Netflix called Wine Country. It stars all your SNL alum favorites: Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, and Emily Spivey. There were some special supporting players with a gruff Tina Fey and a doofie Jason Schwartzman who “came with the house.”
Read moreThe Hustle Movie Review
Folks, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, The Hustle was bad. Although, if I think back to the worst film I saw in 2018, Acrimony, it wasn’t quite that bad. And there are still so many months to the year left, so maybe something will top it, but at this point in time it takes the prize.

Instead of catching up on television shows that I’ve been actively watching for years, I decided to start two new ones! But they are short ones, so I feel like it’s justified.
