chevy chase and rodney dangerfield the
slapstick and deadpan one-liners fly by
at a breakneck pace there's also a story
about golf in there somewhere
stop thinking let things happen
and be the ball shazam wears its heart
unabashedly on the sleeve of its
over-the-top
superhero suit and embraces some of the
sillier aspects of the genre
though the journey of self-discovery
gets repetitive at times
it culminates in a fun and kid-friendly
debut
for dc comics latest hero and an even
better story

keep things interesting

name crazy rich asians tells the story
of rachel chu

dating a man

actors are just as funny beautiful and
heart-wrenching it's not just a great
asian-american film

scene is a high point in american comedy
but it's the little things that
really get you the late night talks
while watching casablanca the vignettes
of couples narrating how they met
and of course the sweetest new year's
eve speech
in film history i've been doing a lot of
and the thing is i love you what
national lampoon's vacation is an 80s
classic that tracks the griswald family
on their quest to reach the amusement

turn for the worse but
it could be the vacation of a lifetime
if
they don't end up killing each other

pokemon detective pikachu relies less on
grown-up in jokes
and more on kid-friendly hijinks but the
most
important feeling it imparts is the same

favorite pixelated characters come to
life on the big screen but detective
pikachu delivers
and honestly has no right to be this
good
