Magic Mike

Magic Mike’s Last Dance movie review: hustle and grind

Sun, Feb 12, 2023
2 comments

Do you find Channing Tatum dance-grinding appealing? There’s not much of that here. There’s just the tedious grinding of dragging out yet another sequel in the face of diminishing franchise returns.

Dog movie review: magic mutt

Fri, Feb 18, 2022

Wounded veterans in reluctant-buddy road trip. Allegedly a comedy, but I don’t see much evidence for that. The schmaltz may be slightly more convincing than the comedy, but it’s a low bar to get over.

Magic Mike XXL movie review: crotch watch

Wed, Jul 01, 2015

A cringe-worthy jamboree of dimbulb manflesh that’s even more embarrassing than the first film. If you want a picture of the future, imagine Channing Tatum grinding his crotch in a human face, forever.

question of the day: Which film directors would you like to see move to TV (as Soderbergh says he’s doing)?

And what would you like see to him/her do with TV that he/she isn’t doing with movies?

Magic Mike movie review: it’s got no clothes

Wed, Jun 27, 2012
no comments yet

A workplace bromantic comedy about men from a male POV: the workplace just happens to be a (male) strip club. Rather tame and rather dull, for a movie about guys taking their clothes off. Magic? No.
