Movies based on TV shows don't always succeed, but we love it when an idea comes together. In this case, two ideas worked: The A-Team (2010) and The Fall Guy (2024), both deliver on the enjoyment of the original show with updated action and comedy. Settle in as we discuss the fun experiences we had watching these new takes on TV classics.

Trusting that little voice in your head, or your cornfield, can be a daunting task. But sometimes, it leads to the most rewarding things you will ever do. Field of Dreams (1989) showed that believing in yourself will never steer you wrong. It also highlighted the connection with family, purpose and "Baseball, Ray.... Baseball". Let us know how this movie impacted you and what you felt while watching.

Could a move like Kevin Smith's Dogma (1999) be made today? With its religious themes and discussion, add to the extensive cast, it would be a challenge to re-create the ideas that Smith had over 25 years ago. Much research and thought went into creating a movie that would tests existing thoughts while trying to have a conversation on taboo topics. Let us know your opinions in the comments.

Do all good movies require a sequel? We ask that question for two recent releases, Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) and The Accountant 2 (2025). The original films were very enjoyable and exciting, but is there enough meat on the bone for a second trip? Why is it so hard to follow up a good film? Do you think money is the driver, or there is more story to tell? Let us know by leaving a review.

Some consider Casino (1995), the best collaboration between Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Martin Scorsese. Others think it just a re-hash of previously told stories. So we went back and watched it. New characters and new locations bring something different to a tale about trying to find success in a pre-defined society. But does it really change the overall impact of the story? Listen to find out our thoughts and comment with your own.

As he has grown, Robert Pattinson has become one of the more versitile actor in Hollywood. His evolution has taken him to the stars and beyond with his latest, Mickey 17 (2025) from acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho. Its a wild space adventure that needs to be seen, but we cannot forget his earlier work, like that in Good Time (2017). Another movie that needs to be experienced. Let us know what you think of Mr. Pattinson.
