The Movie Kit Happy Hour Review: ‘CHiPS’

In this week’s Happy Hour review, I’m drinking beer, eating chips and salsa and talking CHiPS, a mindless, raucous comedy loosely based on the popular ’70s TV show.

Suffice to say, the plot doesn’t really matter that much (Shepard is Jon Baker, a former motorcycle racing star turned rookie CHiPs officer, and Michael Pena is Frank “Ponch” Poncherello, an FBI agent going undercover to ferret out crooked California Highway Patrol officers). It’s really about Shepard, who wrote and directed the comedy, and Pena and their fun chemistry.

The Movie Kit Happy Hour Review: ‘Kong: Skull Island’

In this week’s Movie Kit Happy Hour, I review Kong: Skull Island — a fun, popcorn monster movie — as I sip on my banana daiquiri.  Thing is, I’ve always loved King Kong and feel he’s much more than just an oversized ape, and thankfully, in Skull Island, he’s still just as lovable.

Check out my (slightly inebriated) review!

The Movie Kit Happy Hour Review: ‘Logan’

I’ve taken a little break from my blog, but I’m back with a new video series I’m calling The Movie Kit Happy Hour. In it, I’ll be reviewing a movie with an added twist: Alcohol! Each week I’ll review a movie and sip on the appropriate drink for the occasion.

This week it’s the excellent Logan, the latest in the X-Men/Wolverine canon, which takes a darker, grittier, R-rated look at one of our favorite comic-book heroes. Naturally, this calls for a short glass of whiskey… Watch!
