I grew up in the heyday of the beefcake action genre and I’m not going to lie – I loved it. Throughout the 1980’s to the mid 1990’s names like Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Norris, Van Damme, and Seagal had a constant presence in movie houses across the country. Granted, when looked at through a more discerning […]… Continue reading RETRO REVIEW: “Predator” (1987) — Keith & the Movies

RETRO REVIEW: “Tremors” (1990) — Keith & the Movies
Imagine a movie that opens with Kevin Bacon standing on a ledge and peeing into a vast Nevada canyon. Inspiring, right? Yet it’s an opening that strangely fits “Tremors”, a goofy creature-feature comedy that barely made a dent in the box office back in 1990, but went on to earn a pretty big cult following […]… Continue reading RETRO REVIEW: “Tremors” (1990) — Keith & the Movies
RETRO REVIEW: “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” (1989) — Keith & the Movies
Imagine pitching this idea to studio heads – two air-headed slackers use a time-hopping telephone booth to gather great historical figures for their end-of-the-year history project. I wouldn’t call that the easiest sell. But what originated as a college stand-up routine ended up turning a nice profit, spawned a sequel, an animated TV series, even […]… Continue reading RETRO REVIEW: “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” (1989) — Keith & the Movies
First Glance (kinda): “Venom…2”? — Keith & the Movies
I’m not going to spend much time on this and will do a proper First Glance once we get the final trailer. But let me just say this is how you first tease your movie! Venom, Carnage, that ominous music, the blood red Symbiote. Enjoy! First Glance (kinda): “Venom…2”? — Keith & the Movies
REVIEW: “Atlantics” (2019) — Keith & the Movies
In 2019 French-African director Mati Diop had the distinguished (and overdue) honor of being the first black woman to compete for the main prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Impressively, her first feature film “Atlantics” finished in second place behind Bong Joon Ho’s exceptional “Parasite”. That’s quite the debut. “Atlantics” is a genre defying drama […]… Continue reading REVIEW: “Atlantics” (2019) — Keith & the Movies
REVIEW: “Inheritance” (2020) — Keith & the Movies
“Does any daughter really know her father?” It’s a strange question at the heart of the new feature “Inheritance”, a movie that starts out as a murky family drama of the rich and famous before quickly turning into a twisted sins-of-the-father thriller. It instantly sucks you in and it’s a fun enough ride all the […]… Continue reading REVIEW: “Inheritance” (2020) — Keith & the Movies
