#TheSurfer works well enough as a black comedy with a psychological thriller edge, even if the film’s commentary falls short. My review: flickreel.com/the-surfer-rev…

I’d call #Thunderbolts* the good version of Suicide Squad, but then again, James Gunn already redeemed that franchise. Thunderbolts* is still good, though! My review: flickreel.com/thunderbolts-r…

#AnotherSimpleFavor is twisted in more ways than one. This sequel has more side characters than it know what to do with, but the dynamic between Kendrick and Lively doesn’t miss a beat.

#AnotherSimpleFavor is the first film – or Glass Onion, for that matter. With Lively and Kendrick at the forefront, though, it’s a request that you simply can’t refuse. My review: flickreel.com/another-simple…

Now seems like a good time to relay that #DonaldTrump won his first #Razzie for “Ghosts Can't Do It” (1989), which is all about a ghost trying to find a human host so he can have sex with his wife Bo Derek again. This is real. youtu.be/Z9SFY2tumWA?si…
