Chicago Critics Film Festival Recap

The Chicago Critics Film Festival has ended and the Fandads enjoyed being a part of this fun community. Being that this was our first year to attend we wanted to see as many movies as possible in the beautiful Music box Theater. Sadly possibility was stuck by reality when we realized that it would be…

BlackBerry Review

We have all dreamed of working with our friends in a fun environment and making millions of dollars. While for many of us, this is only a dream, there are a few friends that have worked hard and made this dream come true. Although it may be great to work with friends, sometimes too much…

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie

Growing up I was a fan of Michael J. Fox. I loved watching Family Ties and seeing what Alex P. Keaton was up to. I mean, who could not hear the song “At This Moment” and not think of Alex driving back to be with Ellen? The Back to the Future Trilogy cemented my fandom…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 Review

I remember back in 2014 I attended a sneak peek for Guardians of the Galaxy. I was unsure about this movie because I knew a little about the comic but wondered how it would translate on the screen. I mean two of the members were a talking tree and a raccoon. How could this possibly…

Peter Pan & Wendy Review

Most of us have seen the animated version of Peter Pan when we were growing up. I remember not seeing it in the theaters but watching it at home with my daughter. We laughed, we cheered, and we watched it over and over again until she became tired of watching it. My daughter loved Captain…

Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania Comes Home

We reviewed Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania earlier this year and we were excited for the home release. We do admit that this latest Marvel movie did not fair that well with audiences, it was still a pretty decent adventure. With the home release, I am hoping a second viewing will change my mind but…

Sisu Review

The “every day looking man who is a trained assassin/fighter” genre has been around for a while now. From Charles Bronson in Death Wish to the John Wick films and the recent Nobody, we see that the guy who looks like a pushover is the guy you don’t want to mess around with. I had…

Quasi Review

In 2001 Super Troopers introduced us to the Broken Lizard Comedy Troupe. This movie about a rag tag group of state troopers showed us a new style of comedy with humor that was sophomoric but not too high brow. The following movies they released always stayed ahead of the trends and made you laugh out…

Evil Dead Rise Review

I remember watching the first Evil Dead movie at home with my family. I was 8 years old and my father had rented it from the local video store. I was excited to see it but also nervous because I remember how spooky the image on the VHS box looked. Once the movie got into…
