Rachel, Rachel (1968)

May 7, 2023 by Steve 1 Comment

Ratchet Rachel Rachel, Rachel, 1968 I really didn't expect this to be such a weird movie. It's a pretty weird movie. But it was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, so once again I'm forced to admit I don't know much about film-making or movies in general. It was a small budget independent film; a rarity for a … [Read more...]

The American Poop Movie (2006)

May 1, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

Holy Crap The American Poop Movie, 2006 This horrible 90 minutes of my life was originally titled, The Connecticut Poop Movie. So for that, I'm glad I watched it. After all, when it comes to movies filmed in Connecticut that are also set in Connecticut - and are filled with Connecticut references... there aren't … [Read more...]

Birds of America (2008)

March 27, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

Doesn't Fly Birds of America (2008) I watched this near the beginning of this "Connecticut Movies" project and didn't feel it was "Connecticut-enough" at the time. Well, it is to me now because it was filmed entirely in lower Fairfield County. But there's no way I'm watching this dreck again, so this review is a … [Read more...]

Call Jane (2022)

March 12, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

Dick and Jane Call Jane (2022) This is an important movie. It's also a good movie. The acting is excellent and the story is relevant to today. It features big name stars. The writing is pretty good. The story is compelling. It was filmed largely in Hartford and West Hartford - my home town! And I didn't pay … [Read more...]

The Skulls (2000)

February 12, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

Numbskulls The Skulls (2000) Remember how in the 1970's, 80's, and 90's the year 2000 was going to be awesome? Everything was going to be futuristic and cool and, well, awesome! As it turned out, not everything in the Year 2000 was awesome. In fact, some of the stuff that happened in 2000 was pretty bad. Take … [Read more...]

Taking a Shot at Love (2021)

January 14, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

He Shoots... He Scores! Taking a Shot at Love (2021) Oh man. An absolute classic right here. Just a slammin' Hallmark banger. There has been a lot written in the local press about Avon resident Julie Sherman Wolfe and all the Hallmark movies she's been writing that are set in Connecticut, but nowhere did I read how … [Read more...]

Christmas in Connecticut (1992)

December 23, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Terminate This Christmas in Connecticut (1992) There is exactly one interesting thing about this movie: It was directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, Arnold has had a hugely successful Hollywood career and transformed himself from a 'roided up Austrian mute to a blockbuster star to the Governor of California (?!), … [Read more...]

Christmas Caper (2007)

December 21, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

The ABC's of BC, not CT Christmas Caper (2007) Hoo boy. This was an ABC Family movie for their 25 Days of Christmas "event" way back in the day. Did ABC Family beget Hallmark and all that comes with that channel in the 2020's? And since it is Hallmark Channel that began filming so much of their treacle in … [Read more...]

A Very Nutty Christmas (2018)

December 20, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

7th Hell A Very Nutty Christmas (2018) What do you get when you write a terribly trite and hackneyed modern fairy tale and bring together the star of a late 1990's teen sitcom, the star of a late 1990's family drama, the star of a early 2000's hit sitcom, a star of a long-running Broadway musical, and... a guy who … [Read more...]
