I’ll be honest, I quite enjoyed the big screen adaptation of the cult favorite Baywatch. One could argue it’s not as entertaining as the 21 Jumpstreet films, but it ended up being damned fun, and pokes fun at the entire series, while honoring it at the same time. And it’s got a beautiful-looking cast to…

Now You See Me (2013) – Louis Leterrier
What happens when you take Ocean’s 11 heist vibe and throw some magic at it? Well, you could come back with something like Now You See Me. While it doesn’t have all the star power of the Soderbergh film, Now You See Me is fairly entertaining and has some solid casting. Mark Ruffalo plays FBI…
Kuffs (1992) – Bruce A. Evans
Kuffs was tailor-made for Christian Slater. Writer/director Bruce A. Evans alongside Raynold Gideon wrote the script with Slater in mind, and he plays the role perfectly in this action-comedy with constant fourth wall breaks. It’s like if Ferris Bueller became a cop. George Kuffs (Slater) is 21 and can’t figure his life out. He ditches…

Lurking around the edges is Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) who…
Clue (1985) – Jonathan Lynn
This one is for my friend Lindsay. It’s been forever since I saw Clue. I’m pretty sure I brought it home one weekend on videotape. I know I enjoyed it, but watching it now, you realize this one is really something special. With a trio of different endings, the film guaranteed that it would be…

F9: The Fast Saga (2021) – Justin Lin
As previously mentioned The Fast and The Furious franchise passed fast and accelerated to ludicrous a while ago. Fast 9 doubles down on that outrageous aspect and with a ninth film we finally learn that Dom (Vin Diesel) Mia (Jordana Brewster) have a brother, Jacob (John Cena). It seems Jacob is just as good a…
