“That goalie was pissed about something…” 12. Friday the 13th (2009) This isn’t exactly a hot take, but I have a problem with Hollywood’s addiction to rebooting movies. They never improve on the original and often detract from the charm that made the original a hit in the first place. The Friday the 13th remake […]
I’m flying solo this week! That means that I get to watch anything my little heart desires without having to hear any differing opinions. It’s a millennial’s dream! I’m reviewing the 1980s classic “The Return of the Living Dead,” the best piece of “Night of the Living Dead” fanfiction ever created. After Night of the […]
This week’s review will cover two films: The Ritual and Jungle; two seemingly unconnected films set on two distinct continents. The Ritual stars no one you’ve never heard of as 4 English Friends honoring their dead pal by hiking in mountainous Sweden. Jungle stars Harry Potter as a recently honorably discharged Israeli Army vet looking […]
If you’re a woman who has taken any sort of self defense class, you’ve likely been taught 3 things. Stay low. Use your environment. Fight dirty. You stay low because most of your power and leverage is going to come from your legs. Most men have women beat on the upper body, so it behooves […]
Dialogue of the movie: “You’re full of excuses.” “NO! I’m full of AMERICA!” This week’s review is of a Jack Black tour de force, The Polka King. We here at MWMD love, love, love 3 things, 1) Jack Black movies! 2) Immigrants (who teach us about being American) and 3) True Story Movies, especially when […]
How does the old adage go? Better late than never? Well, although we here at Movies with my Dad always try to be at the bleeding edge of cinematic trends, we seemed to have missed the boat on this one. (Don’t worry, I won’t make any purposeful nautical puns in this review. You’re welcome.)
This entry was written by Jim. Mostly spoiler free. At least one of us read the book from which this movie was derived (spoiler: it was Katie). We were both excited to see this movie which was a bit of a blend of Sci-Fi and Horror. As Katie points out, it was truly “body horror” […]
Written by Katie I won’t bury the lede: I don’t care about the MCU. I found myself yawning and groaning at the Ant-Man and Venom previews today. I’m not planning on seeing any of the other films slated to come out in the near future, but when I saw the trailer for Black Panther, I […]
“I have heard myself say that a house with a death in it can never again be bought or sold by the living. It can only be borrowed from the ghosts that have stayed behind.” With these ominous words, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives Inside The House begins. And so begins this week’s MWMD […]
Written by Katie. This post was brought to you by my mom who paid for both movie rentals on her Amazon Prime account. Couldn’t do it without her. This week, we’re looking at some fantasy/sci fi movies brought to us by Ridley Scott. Legend (1985) This high fantasy adventure starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and […]
