Rons Reviews

The Boys in the Boat row in shallow waters.

I am giving “The Hobby” a reluctant Ron’s Recommendation.

Hard to say something bad about a Steve McQueen film, but this just doesn’t compare to his other work.

This new release receives Ron’s Recommendation.

The film certainly holds up as a quality family film.

Salt and Pepper does not leave you wanting to go through it One More Time.

Andrew Prine has been quoted as saying, “This is the only movie I ever regretted making.”

Some movies are so bad they’re good.  This is not one of them.

When the discussion of the first Reality TV series comes up, the inclusion of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet can certainly add energy to the conversation.

This is ’50s sci fi schlock at its best, and worst.

This three-film collection reflects a man trying to do a lot with a little.

Starflight One is a terrible movie but at least the special effects are bad.

At less than 90 minutes, it’s worth the trip back to a time when bigger was better and movies were just silly fun.

Don’t let this dog of a film take a chomp out of your wallet.

Journey to Shiloh boasts an incredible cast chock-full of future stars.

Not enough material considering the story that they attempted to tell.

The movie certainly earns Ron’s Recommendation. Unfortunately…

A documentary that gives you more than you expect, and more than you want.

Just get the first Crocodile Dundee and enjoy the chemistry and laughter.

The series is much better when it’s not trying to be funny.

Watching these cartoons once a week is the way to go.

As we head into the 2021 NCAA Men’s basketball tournament, it seems like a perfect time for the documentary, Born to Lead: Jim Calhoun now available for streaming on Amazon and GooglePlay. From producer Lauren Cragg, director and writer (with Pat Smith) Chris Martens, a look into not only the career of one of the…

It’s good to leave the audience wanting more, which “More Than Miyagi” does.

I can’t get past the fact that I enjoyed watching Paul Hogan struggle through this project.

It’s the commentary by Lynda Carter on the pilot and a Season Three episode that are the gems to discover here.

It’s like watching Jaws without the shark.

Proximity contains elements of classic films of the 1970s and ’80s including Close Encounter of the Third Kind and War Games.

Watching this cast perform together is a lesson in acting.

A pleasant stroll through your childhood toy box.

It’s all fine in a “plain white toast for breakfast” sort of way. Sadly, that’s about as good as it gets.

John Rambo is really mad this time.

Took in Ad Astra, Good Boys, and Villains over the weekend.

Take a live-action kids show from the ’60s and throw in some creative murders with lots of gore, and it’s a win-win! Right?

Watching the episodes now, I appreciate the science fiction and find that the series does hold up.

I jumped at the chance to get the Blu-ray and so should you.

She-Devils on Wheels has nothing going for it.

The film is filled with contrived situations and inconsistent performances.

It’s full of well-crafted storytelling and solid performances.

It just keeps getting better.

How about some adult angst from the ’80s for a change?

Don’t be afraid to invest your time and money in this little movie that could.

The Carol Burnett Show looks good at fifty.

A nice story that is poorly executed and leaves us with too many questions.

It’s a wonderful walk down memory lane, but keep the walks short.

If you enjoyed the movie in the theater, this new release from 20th Century Fox will give you a lot more of what you enjoyed.

Dan Aykroyd is called upon to carry the comedy on his own with a script that fails to truly allow him to stretch his comedic muscles.

Kino Lorber Studio Classics releases a double feature from writer-director Mike Binder.

Perfect for fans of Hope or those wishing to find out more about the energetic showman.

Carol and friends deliver some classic Christmas comedy and holiday hilarity that comes up a bit short.

Frasier built its success on solid performances, well-crafted scripts, and comedy that would sneak up on you in the most subtle of ways. All elements are in evidence here.
