MOVIE REVIEW: Minions
MOVIE REVIEW: Minions

I watch "Minions" and I don't see anything fresh or fun.  I see a bloated adventure film that steals good ideas from better films because its own originality is tremendously limited.  I hear and see repeated cliches around every corner that are only played for laughs because of mild physical comedy.  I see a movie so annoying that I would punch my own child in the face for wanting to watch it over and over.  I'll be the one that says it.  This film is terrible and we can do better with family entertainment.

GUEST CRITIC #9: Fifty Shades of Grey
GUEST CRITIC #9: Fifty Shades of Grey

I'm a busy guy and I can't see everything every weekend, but I have good friends who can fill in the gaps.  Since "Fifty Shades of Grey" has splashed onto the scene as box office juggernaut, grossing over $81 millon and counting, I knew this film would and could attract more than one "guest critic."  Women are coming out of the Pinterest and beach-read woodwork by the box-wine-load to see this flick.  I put the all-call out on Facebook have picked up some sinners and winners.  Mr. Shanahan will see you now...
