Three Identical Strangers
The Jewish Boys From Brazil
Official Site | Trailers & Mo
PG-13 | 96 min

Triplets, adopted off to three separate homes within 6 months of their birth, and no knowledge that each other existed… until they miraculously found each other decades later and changed everything forever!  Hooray!!  Look at those smiles – best story ever, right?  Three Identical Strangers is definitely a best story (and a BEST documentary), but the brothers’ full story isn’t an endless trio of peaches and cream and sugar.  Things go bad!  Secrets are revealed!  And I won’t reveal them – but it’s like a Jewish version of The Boys From Brazil!!!  So fcuked up!  HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED!!! SEE!!  BELIEVE!!!!

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
Seriously, How Could I Resist You???
Official Site | Trailers & Mo
PG-13 | 114 min

It wasn’t suppose to be like this.  The sequel was suppose to be another round of Dia Rrhea!, BUT IT WASN’T!!!  Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again dared me to have fun, and dogfcukingdammit – I HAD A SUPER FUN TIME!!!  It turned me from a super pooper into a SUPER TROOPER!!!!  It was like eating endless Skittles – a rainbow of sugary goodness!!!!  Did I get softer 10 years later or is the movie actually good?  Both?  Meryl Streep is basically absent, and even without the First Lady of Acting, the party goes on – and it rages!!  And while it’s somehow REALLY nice to see the old gang again, it’s even nicer to meet their younger version selfves (especially young Christine Baranski via Jessica Keenan Wynn, and young Julie Walters via Alexa Davies) through even more fun flashbacks!!  And we got new fun folks – like Andy García and Cher and Cher’s new face that can’t move, and she can’t really dance, but she still has them pipes so who cares if her body or face can’t move!  YOU CAN MOVE AND GROOVE IN YOUR SEATS ON HER BEHALF!

Now can we stop celebrating the songs of ABBA by way of karaoke, and get the band back together and on the road?  Heck, I’ll even take ABBA holograms!

The X-Files:
I Want to Believe
A Sorry X-Cuse For A Second Feature
Trailers & Mo


Like with Dr Jones, it’s a pleasure to catch-up once again with our old pals Mulder and Scully, we juss wish the reunion was packaged with something both familiar and mind-blowing, and not lackluster and half-assed. This second X-Files big screen adventure is a lot like the first one, cept it has less to do with the show’s delicious mythology (if yer looking for aliens see Crystal Skull instead) and more to do with wasting everyone’s time (unless yer really into questioning faith and religion). The production of the film was shrouded in secrecy, but what’s the point when there’s nothing within this basic serial killerish film worth holding the beans back from spilling. Guess the only secret was how plain this film turned out to be. It is kinda entertaining, but we expect more from team X, as this stand-alone piece is just that, standing by itself, far from what made the series so darn franztastic to begin with. While we are treated to sum lovely tender moments between Duchovny and Anderson (although they spend way too much screentime apart… probably the result of shooting schedule conflicts), everything else in play is ho-hum. The only thing supernatural goings on here is Billy Connolly as a child-raping priest/physic, and the rest seems very super-unnatural, like newcomers Xzibit and Amanda Peet, who both add very little to the effort (they should left Xzibit off the screen and figured out a way to use his killah song ‘Paparazzi’ instead). We’re kinda tossed on whether they should even bother with a third flick, but the fact remains that the truth is still out there since I Want To Believe is juss a bunch of truthiness

The Hank Moody Boobs: Mulder is so yesterday’s news thanks to Duchovny’s work and all play banging hot chicks on Showtime’s Californication [NSFW]

Mamma Mia!
My My, How Can We Resist You? Very Easily
Trailers & Mo


This past decade has seen its fair share of stage musicals making a bumpy transition to celluloid. For every Sweeney Todd or Hedwig that are able to make the magic work, there are at least a handful that repoop it up like Phantom of The Poopera or Poopspray or Low-Rent or The Pro-Poopers or Nightmaregirls. Mama Mia! is another one to add to the poopfest list. They woulda been better off calling it Dia Rrhea! OK, it’s not as awful as one would think, but after about 3 songs into this ABBA karaoke-a-thon yer gonna wanna run home and listen to Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid sing the tunes instead of whatever butcher shop Meryl Streep and co have opened for bidness. We’re glad that they were having such a great time onscreen, but maybe they could figured out a way to transfer some of that fun to the paying audience. This may not be the movie musical’s Waterloo, but it’s certainly its Waterpoop

Remington Shrill: we pity poor Pierce Brosnan. he’s got a lovely voice for talking (and audio tours), but not so much when it comes to singing. he’s down right slight yer ears off repoopulous, yet we can’t stop listening to his duet with Meryl on ‘S.O.S.’ [d]
