Film Review: ‘Pitch Perfect 3’!
Listen up, pitches, this movie is the perfect swan song to this series, so get yourself to a theater ASAP and prepare to fall in love all over again with the ladies of Pitch Perfect. The third and final installment of the Pitch Perfect series can be viewed as a stand-alone, but honestly, you’re depriving yourself of the musical and comedic joy that are the first two films if you don’t watch the first two in advance. If you’ve been living under a rock for the last seven or so years, do yourself a favor and have a marathon, or you know, turn on TBS on any given weekend, and watch the first two. In my opinion this one is better than the second installment, so if you found yourself kind of disappointed last go around, this one puts you back on track.

I walk up the ramp into the auditorium and am greeted by a local glee club. Not too shabby a beginning for a screening. Well done, kids!
My Favorite Movies Released in 2018!
The year of 2018 has come to a close and over the past 365 days, I’ve seen roughly 175 new films that were released. I had a ton of fun watching each and every single one of them, even if I came out sour towards a film. There were a ton of great films this year that ranged from big action blockbusters, emotional indie dramas, scary-as-hell films that still haunt me, and some laugh out loud movies that always put me in the right mood. I’d chalk 2018 as a winner in the movie business, because there are some films that came out that I will truly cherish for a long time to come.
‘Bumblebee: Film Review!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
B-127 is a film that is centered on one of the most beloved Transformers. Most people love Optimus Prime and a few “special” people love Megatron, however, B-127 is cooler than them both without question. B-127…you know whom that is, right? Bumblebee formerly known B-127 was sent to Earth under the order of Optimus Prime as its protector. Bumblebee landed on Earth and immediately into battle as well. A Decepticon pounced on Bumblebee and robbed him of his voice communications module. One additional hardship befalls Bumblebee as his memory is corrupted and amnesia weighs him down to an infant child. Plot sound familiar? Read the rest of this entry »
Film Review: ‘Ocean’s 8’!
Ocean’s 8 is an enjoyable heist movie, but it brought a fresh spin to the screen for the franchise, and for that reason it’s in the running for my favorite of the films. An all-female cast can come off pretty campy (hey Sex and the City), but when it’s done well (I see you Pitch Perfect), each character brings their own sass and charm to the screen. Oceans does just that, with each of the stars carrying their weight and adding a spark to the role they play as part of the heist team. No one out shined the other; they truly worked as a unit, which I think overall the Ocean films have tried to do. Clooney carried the day in the male led films, but here, all the women brought it.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Manhattan Murder Mystery’!
THE FILM
What if I were to tell you that Woody Allen basically made his own version of Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rear Window‘ that starred himself and Diane Keaton? You’d be excited, right? Well, it happened in 1993 and is kind of light a 1st cousin to ‘Annie Hall‘ as Allen and Keaton play a couple in their mid-life who thing their neighbor killed someone. The film is called ‘Manhattan Murder Mystery‘, and is a comedic film that served to alleviate the pain of Allen’s divorce from Mia Farrow.
‘The Pact’ Snags John Cena, Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Kay Cannon, writer and producer for hits like ‘30 Rock‘, ‘Pitch Perfect‘ and ‘New Girl‘, is stepping behind the camera for the first time with ‘The Pact’. The film has already got some A-list talent attached in the form of Leslie Mann (‘The Other Woman‘, ‘Vacation‘), Ike Barinholtz (‘Suicide Squad‘, ‘Sisters‘) and WWE superstar John Cena (‘Sisters’, ‘Daddy’s Home‘).
Hailee Steinfeld Interview for ‘Edge of Seventeen’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
I recently had the pleasure to sit down with actress Hailee Steinfeld to discuss her latest film ‘Edge of Seventeen‘, which is a coming of age movie that is being compared to the best of John Hughes‘ movies. Currently, the film has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so be sure to catch this movie in theaters this weekend. Prior to this, Hailee starred in the Coen Bros. remake of ‘True Grit‘ with Jeff Bridges, ‘Ender’s Game‘, and ‘Pitch Perfect 2‘ amongst several others. We talked about working with the stellar cast of ‘Edge of Seventeen‘, some High School memories, and her favorite scenes from film. Don’t forget to check out her music too HERE.

Hey guys, Jana here,
MGM is reworking a 1988 classic and they’ve attached ‘Pitch Perfect‘ star Rebel Wilson to star in ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels‘. The original romp featured the dashing Michael Caine and the always hilarious Steve Martin as two con men on a mission to see who can first swindle a young American heiress out of $50,000.

Best Movies of 2015, According To Jana
Hey guys, Jana here,
Another year has come and gone and brought with it about a billion movies, some were total crap and a waste of time, but others…oh they were worth every bit of time I spent. Pre-movie hype, post-movie discussion, and the random hours I spent thinking about it in the shower or sitting at a stop-light. Having said that, this is my list of movies that 2015 blessed us with, and maybe a few the year cursed us with.
JANET WHITE’S BEST/WORST LIST OF 2015!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
Below are my Top 10 Best Films and Top 3 Worst Films of 2015 that I was either blessed or, in some cases, annoyed to screen, 36 in all (I also screened four DVD and/or Blu-ray releases). Feedback is encouraged whether you agree, disagree, think I’m nuts (I am a little crazy), or if you think of a film that I reviewed which should have been included. Here you go:
Film Review: ‘Jem and the Holograms’!
Taylor E., Here…
We now live in an age where the Next Big Artist is being found online. Justin Bieber* was discovered on YouTube and being Vine Famous is now C-list enough to get you on Dancing With The Stars. It should then come as no surprise that the reimagining of ‘Jem and the Holograms‘ involves a viral video. Jerrica, being an overly shy singer-songwriter, records a song dressed in disguise as Jem. When her sister Kimber discovers the video on her camera, she secretly posts it to YouTube. The video goes viral and Jem is offered a record deal by THE Erica Raymond (Juliette Lewis) of Starlight Enterprises, which couldn’t have happened at a better time, since Jerrica’s aunt Bailey (Molly Ringwald) is about to lose their house. Jerrica accepts the offer, but only if her sisters get to come along as her band. Cue the makeover montage!
Elizabeth Banks Is Up To Direct A ‘Charlie’s Angels’ Remake!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Elizabeth Banks is a hot ticket in Tinseltown. She is Effie Trinket in ‘The Hunger Games‘ trilogy, she voiced Wyldstyle in the crazy popular ‘The Lego Movie‘ and she not only continued the role of Gail in ‘Pitch Perfect 2‘, but she also directed the pic. Banks has now set her sights on her next project behind the camera and it’s a reboot of Sony’s ‘Charlie’s Angels‘ franchise.
‘When Marnie Was There’ From Famed Studio Ghibli Comes To Blu-ray!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Japan’s highly praised Studio Ghibli raised the animation bar when they introduced the world to a story that brought in studio-gold with an Academy Award – ‘Spirited Away‘. It was thought impossible, but the production commpany one-upped itself with one of the most beautifully animated pictures, ‘When Marnie Was There‘.
Film Review: ‘NightCrawler’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
It’s very rare to me when a film stays with me for weeks on end. It’s been more than a month and I still can’t stop thinking about Dan Gilroy’s directorial debut ‘Nightcrawler‘. It’s a smooth yet very suspenseful thriller about a friendless sociopath who decides one day he is going to start a career in freelance TV new reporting, where we see him succeed as well as go to the metaphorical “dark side”. This sociopath is played by the impressive Jake Gyllenhaal who (to put lightly) has major psychological issues. We’ve seen him play something similar before in ‘Enemy‘ and ‘Donnie Darko‘, but here, he’s on a whole different level. It’s easy for me to say that Jake Gyllenhaal plays the most frightening character in film in the last decade.
Penelope Cruz Joins The Already Star-Studded ‘Grimsby’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Sacha Baron Cohen has been on the radar in the entertainment industry since the mid 90’s. It wasn’t until ‘Borat‘ that I learned he was the same guy that was in ‘Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby‘. I know, I know, I missed the whole ‘Da Ali G Show‘. However, I knew if I saw him in something I was going to laugh myself into unconsciousness due to lack of oxygen from that unfortunate, and rather obnoxious, wheezing laugh I get sometimes.
Film Review: ‘Jersey Boys’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
You might think it’s quite odd that Clint Eastwood directed a musical this year with ‘Jersey Boys‘, which is an adaptation of the Broadway stage play that is currently the 13th longest running show in history based on the careers of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, but you’d be wrong. In fact, Eastwood is very big in the music scene and always has been. You remember the film ‘Honkytonk Man‘ and ‘Bird‘, don’t you, which were both about musicians. And you can add to this the eight films he wrote and composed the music for. My point is that Eastwood is a solid choice for this great musical adapted into a feature film.
Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo Teaming Up Again for New Comedy!!
Hi, Jana here,
Awesome news! The tag-team duo that brought us ‘Bridesmaids‘ is back! Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are taking celluloid for another spin. ‘Bridesmaids‘ became a slightly unexpected hit on a global scale for being a female-driven comedy. The upcoming flick is going to team Wiig and Mumolo as writers again, but they will also produce, star and Wiig is going to try her hand at directing the project which is going to be a first effort for the comedian. TriStar Productions is backing the production and they have described the film as the story of “best friends who find themselves in over their heads and out of their depths, which were, perhaps, not too deep to begin with.” No release date has been set.
Rebel Wilson Enlists in the Marines in ‘Private Benjamin’ Remake!!!
Hi kids, Jana here,
If you’ve read much of what I’ve written before, I’ve led the band railing against movie remakes. Yeah, that’s me in the front with the baton and the megaphone. However, there are some films that it’s ok to remake. Doesn’t make it right, but it’s not one I’ll lose sleep over. The remake of ‘Point Break‘, ‘Roadhouse‘, ‘Ghost‘ and ‘Dirty Dancing‘ are all examples of films that do not need touched by anyone other than slight re-touching to make the colors more compatible with HD televisions. Basically anything Patrick Swayze was ever in should be kept sacred. I use ‘Swayze’ as a verb after all. No one ever gets their ass kicked, anymore – They get full on Swayzed. In short, don’t mess with the man’s films!!
Elizabeth Banks sets Her Directorial Debut With….
Hi, Bryan Here….
Comedic actress Elizabeth Banks is stepping behind the camera for her first time to direct ‘Pitch Perfect 2‘, the sequel to the Universal Pictures film, which was a huge success. The musical comedy starred Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and Banks, and made more than $115 million worldwide on a budget of only $17 million.
‘Happy Christmas’ Debuts at Sundance Film Festival!!!
Jana B. Here,
There are some names that you instantly recognize if you’re a student of film, or just obsessed with it, like me. Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Steven Soderbergh are just a few. What do these names have in common? Sundance. Filmmakers converge on the famous Indie film festival in Park City, Utah, for the chance to move from someone making movies with your buddies to being paid to employ some of the best actors in the industry. Dreams come true and some leave in deafeat, yeah that was way too schmaltzy. From January 16-26 the world of entertainment turns its discerning and collective eye to more than 120 feature length submissions.
Arnold Schwarzenegger In Talks For The Next ‘Toxic Avenger’ Movie!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I never thought I’d write this sentence, but Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently in talks to star in the reboot of Troma’s ‘Toxic Avenger’ film. This project will be introduced to potential buys at Cannes this year of all places. I didn’t think Cannes would take any Troma film. But it looks like this re-imaging of ‘Toxic Avenger‘ will be a big budget project. Steve Pink is taking the reins of the film. Pink directed ‘Hot Tub Time Machine‘ and will direct the sequel. This is odd, but amazing news.
Blu-ray Review: ‘COCO’!
THE FILM
(This film portion was written by Beka Perlstein.)
If you’re like me, you’ve seen the previews for Coco and thought, what is this movie and how is Disney going to make a movie all about death translate to kids. It didn’t stop me from jumping at the chance to preview the film and now I submit my apologies to Disney and the world that I ever doubted their creative genius. I’m loco for Coco and you will be, too.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Atomic Blonde’!
THE FILM
This film portion is written by Dan Moran.
Atomic Blonde isn’t a perfect movie. It has an overly complex plot and is about 20 minutes longer than it needs to be, but all of that is overcome by some of the best action sequences in recent memory with an absolutely badass performance by Charlize Theron.
Fantastic Fest 2017 Announces its First Wave of Programming!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, it’s not Christmas, but rather movie-lover Christmas, because the best film festival of all time – FANTASTIC FEST is up on us. We have the first wave of programming to get you all excited and up in arms about attending this year. If you love films more than life itself, then FANTASTIC FEST is the festival for you.

This year is looks incredible with some excellent films on the block right now. Below is the official press release.
Film Review: Atomic Blonde!
Dan M., here….
Atomic Blonde isn’t a perfect movie. It has an overly complex plot and is about 20 minutes longer than it needs to be, but all of that is overcome by some of the best action sequences in recent memory with an absolutely badass performance by Charlize Theron.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
Since the release of ‘The Force Awakens‘, Disney will be releasing a ‘Star Wars‘ film every year for the foreseeable future. Well, it’s been a year since ‘The Force Awakens‘, which means it’s time for another ‘Star Wars‘ film, and luckily for us, we get ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘. I’m so glad that Disney is allowing up and coming, young filmmakers a chance to have a go at ‘Star Wars‘, because director Gareth Edwards (‘Monsters‘ and ‘Godzilla‘) has knocked it out of the park, even though there were some re-shoots with writer Tony Gilroy (‘Michael Clayton‘ and ‘The Bourne‘ films). This is the ‘Star Wars‘ film we have wanted for a long time, in that we get to see some characters do some truly amazing and badass things that we’ve never seen before, and a return to some of those classic set pieces and ships.
Film Review: ‘The Founder’!
Beka P., here….
As a lawyer, one of the first things they teach you is to always put things in writing. As a criminal lawyer, one of the first things I tell people is never put things in writing. ‘The Founder‘ is a lesson in contracts and how as Roy Kroc says, “Contracts are like hearts, they were made to be broken.” This film explores the story of how McDonalds became more than just a local burger joint- exploding onto the map as a nationwide franchise. Quite honestly, it was darker than I expected, and cast a bit of a cloud on the French fried potato goodness that is Micky D’s, but I suppose that when you pull back the curtain and expose the inner workings of any organization, you are bound to find a few skeletons in the closet.
Blu-ray Review: ‘A Hologram For The King’!
Jonathan A., here…
The Film
Director Tom Tykwer’s adaptation of writer Dave Eggers’ novel “A Hologram For The King” is an interesting and at times, frustrating film.
‘Clifford The Big Red Dog’ Is Barking Up The Big Screen!!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Rescuing a pet is always the greatest thing you can do because it gives a sweet fur baby a new lease on life and you’re saving them from being destroyed a lot of the time. No, this is not just a friendly PSA, there’s a story here. Universal Pictures has scrapped their planned project with ‘Clifford The Big Red Dog‘ and put him back in the shelter where Paramount Pictures has stepped in and adopted the sweet, red pooch. Told ya, there was more.
My List of Top 10 Baseball Movies – Did Yours Make The List?
Hey guys, Jana here,
Summer time means a million things to different people, but some things we can all agree on. Cook outs, swimming, catching lightning bugs, camping and baseball. It’s just as pure as mom’s apple pie and the star spangled banner and every spring, a new season swings into action and a new hope is born for your team to be a contender and play through October. The national past time has been the basis for a lot of movies and I’m making some sense of them all with my Top 10 favorite baseball movies.
The Reboot of Zorro Has Found Their Lead In Gael García Bernal!!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
We’ve got some news from the reboot world, this time the story of Zorro is what is going through a re-imagining. At the center of this effort is director Jonás Cuarón, he has also found his lead to take on the cape and sword in Gael García Bernal. The pair worked together in ‘Desierto‘ which also starred the swoon-worthy Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Film Review: ‘American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
THE FILM
Yet another ‘American Girl‘ film has been released under the name ‘Grace Stirs Up Success‘. If you’re unfamiliar with the ‘American Girl‘ franchise, you can read my previous hardcore action review of ‘Saige Paints the Sky‘. ‘American Girl‘ is basically a line of actual play dolls for girls ages 4-12. None of the films in this series have anything to do with a doll, but rather try and tell these young girls what life is really like on the outside once out of a federal prison, which brings us to ‘Grace Stirs Up Success‘.
Film Review: ‘Bravetown’!
Paul N., Here…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a troubled, angsty teen gets in trouble and is sent off to live with their dad in middle-of-nowhere, USA. Once there, the teen develops an independent identity, meets a sparkly vampire, and Indian werewolf…ok, that last part might be inaccurate, but you get the idea. Bravetown doesn’t provide anything you haven’t seen in dozens of other movies, what sets it apart, however, is that it manages to rip off its predecessors in the most bland way possible.

WWE: Royal Rumble 2015 Recap! It’s All About Family
Angelic Heel Here…
The Royal Rumble is one of the most exciting matches that the WWE presents to its fans. It’s a 30 man over the top rope battle royal where the winner is guaranteed a shot at the WWE World Heavy Weight Title at Wrestlemania. The 2015 Royal Rumble event in Philadelphia, PA saw championships defended, new comers prove why they are the best, and that family will always help family. The night was filled with nail biting matches, heart stopping suspense, and an ending that had the Philly fans expressing themselves as only they can. Let’s begin the Road To Wrestlemania and try not to get thrown over the top rope as we look at the 2015 Royal Rumble!
Film Review: ‘Dolphin Tale 2’!!
Janet W., Here…
Dolphins are not fish…they are mammals. Playful, passionate, and full of expression, dolphins have ways of letting you know what’s on their mind. Perfectly timed faces full of water from a blowhole, varying pitches of speech, and solemn silences each have their own purpose and meaning. Fish cannot easily do that. Dolphin Tale 2 is a wondrous display of these characteristics. Picking up where the Dolphin Tale left off, Winter (portrayed by the “real” Winter) still lives in Clearwater Marine Aquarium. She is the main attraction and the aquarium has grown by leaps and bounds. For those who have seen the first Dolphin Tale (don’t worry it won’t ruin the movie, if you haven’t), Winter’s first friend was Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble). Sawyer has learned a lot about marine life during his time with Winter and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. So much so that he is invited to an educational high-seas adventure by a prestigious college. Such an invitation would be a marine enthusiast’s dream, but it comes with a price. Three months at sea, far from his friend, Winter, and the area.
‘Scouts vs. Zombies’ Cast David Koechner as Troop Leader!!!
Hello, Jana here,
David Koechner, is much more than the perfect guy to deliver a huge laugh or to set someone else up for the delivery. He’s got a face you instantly recall in the midst of a good memory of a great scene. Actor, director, writer, producer and all around funny man. He’s got tons of credits up his sleeve including the blockbuster hilarity inducing ‘Anchorman‘ and it’s sequel. He’s recently had director co-writer Christopher Landon pitching woo at him for Paramount’s upcoming horror-comedy about Boy Scouts who try to fend off a zombie attack, and protect their Girl Scouts, in their small town. ‘Scouts Vs. Zombies‘ sees Koechner joining a cast comprised of Joseph Morgan (‘Master and Commander’, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, ‘Immortals’), Tye Sheridan (‘The Tree of Life’, ‘Mud’) , Logan Miller (‘Growing Up Fisher’, ‘Night Moves’), Andy Fickman, Todd Garner, Bryan Brucks and Betsy Sullenger.

Last week, we brought you the first ten films that were announced, and if that was any clue on how cool the movies will be this year, it only gets better.

Film Review: ‘All Is Lost’!!
Donna W., Here….
A man awakens on his yacht to find that it has crashed against a wayward storage tank and is now taking on water via the gaping hole in the side of his boat. The man, whose name we never know, is concerned but calm. He goes about the business of repairing the hole, pumping out the water, and assessing what’s left of his equipment, provisions and supplies. He has no radio and no means of navigation. He is far, far from any shore. Problems begin to mount. A storm. An injury. Things go from bad to worse.
The Top 10 Werewolf Films!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
October is here, and that means Halloween is around the corner. Over the course of October, we will be doing our favorite top 10 horror lists. We are starting with the top 10 Werewolf films. I’ve always been a fan of werewolves, and I admit, I have also been deeply afraid of them. There is something so mysterious and yet so vicious and magical about a werewolf that draws me into any and all films that have something to do with werewolves. So I present to you, Boomstick’s top 10 Werewolf films. Enjoy.
Bryan’s Review of ‘Hotel Transylvania’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
‘Hotel Transylvania’ is a huge spectacle on the eyes. With giant colorful monsters, swooping camera pans at every scene, and a somewhat decent voice cast, you’d think ‘Hotel Transylvania’ would be the perfect movie for all ages this Halloween. However, ‘Hotel Transylvania’ relies more on the visual aspect with keeping little kids entertained to the fullest every second, that the story and characters get left buried underground. With the other animated monster and zombie films that are out right now, this one ranks low on the list.
Los Angeles Film Festival Winners Announced!!! ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ Wins Audience Award!!!

It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane! No, It’s ‘The Superman Motion Picture Anthology’ On Bluray!!! (A Review)
Hi Bryan Here….
WOW. This was a mighty mighty fun blu-ray set to get through. Took a while as there are hours and hours of extras and commentaries to listen and watch. It was great watching all of these again. Some greater than others. I haven’t watched all of the Superman films since that tin DVD box set came out several years ago. Oh man do these newly remastered blu-rays look fucking beautiful in HI-DEF. So, this particular review will be set up by film. I will go through all eight discs of the set and outline everything you would ever want to know about them. From the movie itself to the extras and the audio and video quality.
