To the Wayback Machine for More Untimely Movie Reviews.

MBW was away on business for a week. Meaning that, in addition to playing Mr. Mom, I got to catch up on some films the rest of you saw long ago. So, let’s get to my reactions, shall we?

���Nobody.��� A man struggling to bury one half of his nature, playing (or actually being) a family man at great cost. Given the chance to release his inner death dealer, he takes it with manic glee, leading to well-staged, viscerally brutal fight scenes. Well done, though as is usually the case with such fare, it strains credulity if you don���t sit back and just go with it. Nice casting and with a few chuckles. Recommend for those with the stomach for graphic violence.

���Shang-Chi.��� Like certain breeds of small dog: stupid and often annoying, but just cute enough you have to at least grudgingly like it.

���Ghost Busters: Afterlife.��� A nearly flawless gem of a film. It feels like a throwback to an earlier era of movies. It has it all. It is has humor, romance, excitement, chills, and well-executed pathos. Sure, the engine driving the Ecto-1 is nostalgia. But it works.

In a shocking, surprise twist, here are my comments on something currently in theaters. I took the HA to see ���Sonic 2.��� It retains much of the modest charm of the first. It���s the equivalent of a particularly good fast food meal. The story is ��� irrelevant. The humor, visuals, and actors willing to go with the nonsense carry it. The HA loved it.��

And you might love some of my work. Why not give Blood and Jade��a try? The reviews are positive, for what that is worth.
