Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) We are most definitely those chumps that waited for Shang-Chi to hit Disney+ instead of going to the theater…Disney+ has made 2021 so much more bearable… It was a fun film! The action was non-stop and it was really fun to watch […]

The House with a Clock in Its Walls

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) Hey, kids! Let’s watch the new Eli Roth film! Not something most parents would say, eh? But The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a kid movie, so it’s okay…I think. I can see why Roth was drawn to this […]

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Feb 15, 2020 at 4:49pm PST Gary Oldman just makes every film better, doesn’t he? I mean, Bram Stoker’s Dracula notwithstanding, he is AMAZING. Is it totally out of line to say that I think Sirius Black is sexy? I think […]

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Sep 17, 2019 at 6:50pm PDT Chamber of Secrets? That’s what I used to call my vajayjay back in college… Thank you folks, I’ll be here all night. My children absolutely appreciate any and all mentions of their former abode and […]

Moana

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jun 11, 2019 at 3:50pm PDT I know, I know…I’m late to the Moana party. The girl has been trying to get me to watch it for YEARS, but it just hadn’t worked out until I scheduled a special ‘Movie Luau’ […]

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jul 13, 2018 at 9:06pm PDT Well, it’s official…the Jurassic Park movies have gone full Sharknado. (No spoilers, but once you see the film, you’ll get what I mean.) There was plenty of action and there were plenty of dinosaurs, but the plot clicked together so predictably that […]

Iron Man 3

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jul 5, 2018 at 8:21pm PDT I’ve somehow managed to avoid seeing Iron Man 3 in the five years or so since it was released. No particular reason, except maybe the fear of too much GOOP. Even so, I’m hearing rumblings that there are some plot threads from […]

The Mummy (2017)

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jul 1, 2018 at 4:55pm PDT I’ve never tried so hard to NOT watch a movie. I played games on my phone, ate cinnamon toast, took a dump…yet I still ended up watching too much of this abysmal film. They thought they were starting a Universal Monsters extended […]

Black Panther

The MCU has got its claws in us now…Black Panther is the second release in a row that we’ve seen in the theater. Granted, it was an early bird, non-3D, 9:35am showing, but we paid nonetheless… A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Mar 1, 2018 at 1:47pm PST Before I get into my thoughts […]

The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course

It’s not the Crocodile Hunter’s fault that this movie sucked. Steve Irwin was his old charismatic self. In fact, up until the final confrontation, the scenes with Steve and Terri were indiscernible from the real show – except for one notable exception, the scene in which he wrested a big rubber croc underwater. But, hey, […]
