Hitting all of the right tones

Jeff Ruffolo 05/24/2018

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY OH, let me count the ways. Let’s see. “I could go to this movie … solo.” “My hair is not yet dry so I will go to the party … solo.” The list…

Rude, crude and fun

Jeff Ruffolo 05/17/2018

I HATE sequels. Actually, I don’t actually loathe them as most of these “continuations” are pushed out the studio door looking rushed, tardy or show up as incomplete rubbish. Then again there are the sequel “superstars.” One…

When a video game comes to life

Jeff Ruffolo 04/12/2018

I HATE it when movies emulate real life. Case in point—“Rampage” which is taken from—of all things—a coin-operated video game. I remember playing Rampage at Sgt. Pepperoni’s Pizza joint in Newport Beach, California back in 1986. They…

Jeff Ruffolo 03/01/2018

Super spy Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. The Black Widow leaps onto the silver screen with her first, full length adventure. Whoops. Sorry. Wrong movie. But in truth, this could be a film about the celebrated Russian comic book…

THE POST: Jaded ‘Hollywood’ view of history
