Dome Pondering Movie Review: We're the Millers (2013)

What is it about? 

A veteran neighborhood drug dealer creates a fake family of interesting people in his neighborhood to transport a huge shipment of drugs from Mexico into the U.S.

Who is in it? 

Jason Sudeikis - David Clark

Jennifer Aniston - Rose O'Reilly

Will Poulter - Kenny Rosmore

Emma Roberts - Casey Mathis

Favorite Scene: 

While driving the RV, Kenny is bitten on the testicles by a tarantula that was loose since their trip to Mexico. 

Favorite Quote: 

"No regrets, really? Not even a single letter?" [In reference to Scotty P.'s neck tattoo which read "No Ragrets"]

Review: 

We're the Millers is a film that will take you by surprise. From the trailer, one would think that this film is just another cheap attempt at humor and comedy, the kind that relies on over-the-top dialogue and ridiculously graphic nature to get it's point across - you know the kind. 

However, We're the Millers is actually genuinely entertaining. The plot is rather simple and elementary, but it is filled with moments and subtle things in the film that are laugh out loud funny. "Baby LeBron" and the several funny moments that include Kenny perfectly describe this film.

Jason Sudeikis is his typical funny self, and Jennifer Aniston was just as solid in her role as Rose in the film. 

We're the Millers isn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it is funny, engaging, and overall entertaining. And that's all you can ask from a movie of it's kind. 

Grade: 3/5

Dome Pondering Move Review: Say You Will (2017)

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it? Travis Tope - Sam Nimitz Katherine Hughes - Ellie Vaughn Favorite Scene: [spoiler alert] Sam plays his song for his mom. Favorite Quote: Ellie: "I wish we could have met down the road, maybe when we were like 27." Sam: "I think we needed each other now." Review:  Say You Will was an absolutely pleasant surprise of a watch from the Amazon Prime offerings.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this one, but after the credits rolled, it was a movie that provided authentic characters and a great lesson on life. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

TNA Slammiversary 2026: "A great show that felt like it could have been epic with the proper buildup."

TNA certainly came into Slammiversary 2026 carrying some public relations (or perception?) baggage which affected the excitement for this event. For me, Slammiversary has become one of those wrestling events on the calendar that moves the needle for me. This is especially the case after attending last year's historic event.   This year, the hype was not there. And ultimately, the overall creative process for the product for most of 2026 was well...plain. It wasn't terrible. But yeeaaaaaahhhhhhh, nothing felt overly exciting. The company had no major storyline driver. And thus, we saw the removal of Tommy Dreamer as head of creative at TNA after being with the company for almost ten years. Much of Slammiversary 2026 felt like it was pulled together two weeks out. And even heading into the show, with the added drama of Dreamer's release, TNA once again felt unstable.  Fortunately, what we got was a great show that feels like - again, there is that perception thing! - TNA is ...
