The answer is me, obviously. It’d be really weird if I said “My Grandma” and then put her thoughts below. But also maybe funny in its own way? Anyway, if you’re disappointed that that’s not the thing I’m doing, then I’m sorry. But yeah, I just watched all the Fast & Furious movies. I’d never Read more

Welcome. If you’ve never read my blog before and you just found this and you’re expecting a fair, unbiased, positive review of The Flash, then go away. If you decided to read this because you loved The Flash and you want someone to reinforce your opinions on the quality of the movie and the acting Read more

Hello! I meant to write a review for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, but it was super boring and I had nothing to say about it. I’ve been busy with lots of writing assignments and finals, but school is now over for the summer and we’re going to celebrate with a review of Guardians of Read more

This is a big movie for me especially. I’ve been waiting for this for some time now. People have neglected Ant-Man as a character in the past but now he’s in a big epic movie and the reviews are not very positive. Did I like it though? Have I been blinded by my love of Read more

Spoilers for three movies you’ve probably seen before- Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Avengers: Endgame. I feel a little weird about covering these movies, but you know what? If you think it’s dumb then you can fight me. This may be the geekiest Ruddtrospective yet, where I get to gush about Read more

Last year I reviewed all the 2021 movies I’d seen. I had watched about 48. This year, I’m not only behind on posting, I watched 53 movies that came out in 2022 before the year ended, and now I’ve seen about 65. This wasn’t at all purposeful. I don’t want to watch too many movies Read more

Spoilers for everything in this ranking. Obviously. It would be really stupid of you to read this if you had any interest in watching any of these but haven’t yet. We were originally going to get three more superhero movies this year, but Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse got delayed and Warner Brothers lost all of Read more
-
It feels weird to be back writing another superhero movie review already. It’s been a couple of weeks, right? Black Adam and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are very different superhero movies. Black Adam is the vanity project of the world’s baldest man. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a tribute to a great actor who should Read more

I’m sure nobody wants to see this because this man makes too many movies and this movie looks generic as hell and DC has burned us millions of times. Nevertheless I will start by not spoiling the movie and make it obvious when I switch to spoilers. Black Adam stars Rock ‘The Dwayne’ Johnson. The Read more

Despite working at a summer camp with limited access to the internet, I yet again managed to spoil the ending of this movie for myself. But some people are smart and don’t do that. So, as always, I will clearly mark when I start spoiling the movie. Thor: Love and Thunder stars Christopher Hemsworth, Natalie Read more
-
Full spoilers for the movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy as well as the sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Even though I’m pretty sure everyone has seen this movie. It’s a beloved classic. But spoilers for this movie that came out 18 years ago. And spoilers for the sequel, which is essentially just Read more
-
Just like with No Way Home, I managed to spoil like 90% of this before I saw it. But for those of you who didn’t and have been avoiding the incredibly spoilery promotional material, I will be sure to mark when I dip into spoilers. I know I said in my last post that I Read more
-
I will clearly mark when I begin to spoil both of these movies with very long titles, because I think these should both be seen. One in particular, because I think both of these movies tackle similar themes, and one does a much better job of it. But they’re both fun to watch, so I Read more
-
Spoilers for Ideal Home, which might be the best Paul Rudd movie I’ve watched so far. You really should watch this before reading the review. I think it’s great. Ideal Home(2018) stars Paul Rudd, Steve Coogan, Jack Gore, and Jake McDorman. It also features Kate Walsh and Allison Pill. It was directed and written by Read more
-
Full spoilers for Gen-Y Cops, which is one of the most unintentionally(I assume) hilarious movies that I’ve ever seen. Gen-Y Cops(2000), also known as Gen-X Cops 2: Metal Mayhem, stars Edison Chen, Stephen Fung, Sam Lee, Richard Sun, Christy Chung, Maggie Q, Mark Hicks, and Paul Rudd. It was directed by Benny Chan, and written Read more
-
No spoilers for the movie Morbius will be covered in this post. No purposeful spoilers, at least. I want people to experience this without knowing anything going in. Morbius(2022) stars Jared Leto, Adria Arjona, Michael Keaton, Matt Smith, Jared Harris, and Tyrese Gibson. It was directed by Daniel Espinosa, and the screenplay was written by Read more
-
Spoilers for the movie Ant-Man! I’m finally covering one of the Marvel movies! Although if you’re reading this you’ve probably seen it already. Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Michael Peña, David Dastmalchian, T.I., Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, and Abby Ryder Fortson. The cast also features Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, John Read more
-
Full spoilers for this full review of this bad movie that I love! About five months ago I attempted to rewatch my favorite/least favorite movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy. My plan was to provide 115 thoughts I had while watching it, because this movie is 115 minutes long. But the awesomeness that is this Read more
-
Spoilers for Overnight Delivery, a movie you haven’t seen and shouldn’t see because it’s terrible and weird and no. Also spoilers for Prince Avalanche, a movie that I kind of would encourage you to see. Overnight Delivery(1998) stars Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon, Christine Taylor, Sarah Silverman, and Larry Drake. Paul Rudd plays Wyatt Trips, a Read more

More spoilers for this horrible movie that I love. A long time ago I decided to do a live reaction review of Space Jam: A New Legacy and post 115 thoughts I had about the film on my blog. I made it through half of the movie before I couldn’t take it anymore, and the Read more

Spoilers for the movie This Is 40, Judd Apatow’s second depressing movie about being forty years old.

Spoilers for Knocked Up and the Paul Rudd/Seth Rogen Super Bowl Lay’s commercial. You probably already know that I like this movie, so I’ll just say that now too. Knocked Up(2007) stars Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Martin Starr, Charlyne Yi, Maude Apatow, and Iris Apatow. Read more

Obviously this movie just came out so I’m going to do a non-spoiler review up top and then move into spoilers later on. But I will clearly mark when that is, so quit your worrying. Also if you’re that worried about spoilers, maybe don’t read this until you see the movie. I knew a lot Read more
-
Full spoilers for The 40 Year Old Virgin. Paul Rudd has had a very odd career. When he was trying to break into the acting career he would take on odd jobs like being a DJ at a Bar Mitzvah or glazing hams. Then he went from being a mostly dramatic actor, to Phoebe’s husband Read more
-
Spoilers for Dinner For Schmucks. But what do you care? You haven’t seen it. Most people haven’t. It got horrible reviews. Dinner For Schmucks stars Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis, Jemaine Clement, Stephanie Szostak, Bruce Greenwood, Lucy Punch, David Walliams, Ron Livingston, Larry Wilmore, Kristen Schaal, Andrea Savage, Nick Kroll, Randall Park, Chris O’Dowd, Read more
-
Some spoilers for the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, as well as some questions as to why anyone would ever think the spin-off, Get Him To The Greek, was a good idea I’ve mentioned before what an insane year for movies 2008 was. Hollywood managed to reach a perfect ratio of great films and terrible films Read more
-
Some spoilers for Paul Rudd’s Netflix oeuvre: The Little Prince, The Fundamentals of Caring, and Mute. You’d be hard-pressed to find three movies that are more different than these. In the space of four years, Paul Rudd was involved in three completely different Netflix movies. In 2015 he was in an animated adaptation of the Read more
-
Full spoilers for 17 episodes of one of the most popular TV shows in the world. If you haven’t seen it you at least know about it. Those six actors are richer and more famous than most of the global population. I didn’t think I hated F.R.I.E.N.D.S., but then I watched 17 episodes in a Read more
-
The following post contains spoilers for three weird movies: The Oh in Ohio, I Could Never Be Your Woman, and Over Her Dead Body. These movies are all very odd for different reasons. We will get into them shortly, because this is a review. But first I have to write something random here before I Read more
-
Spoilers for everything in the ranking, but not Thunder Force, Y: The Last Man, M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, Sweet Tooth, or all the CW and HBO Max DC shows released this year. I’m not going to talk about those because I haven’t seen them. I’m probably forgetting some other things I haven’t seen. I try to keep Read more
-
Spoilers for the movie All Is Bright. Not that you care, nobody has seen or heard of this movie, despite it being the only Christmas movie Paul Rudd has ever been in. But this isn’t a very happy Christmas movie, so don’t watch it if that’s what you’re looking for. All Is Bright(2013) stars Paul Read more
-
Obviously spoilers for this horrible movie that I love. Two months ago now I sat down to review Space Jam: A New Legacy. My plan was to write a thought down for every minute of the film, which has a runtime of 115 minutes. But I couldn’t do it. I got halfway through and it Read more
