#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: The Mummy Returns (2001)
Addition of a cute kid & a wrestler should make sequel worse, but I actually prefer it to the original. Weisz & underrated Fraser good team.

Sommers bucks odds remaking a classic. Genuinely fun; wisely chooses light tone for popcorn adventure. Ready for your close-up, Ms. Weisz…

#140RVW: The General (1926)
Amazing. Shouldn’t have been a surprise, but never expected the depth to this. Sure, it’s funny, but the battle scenes and stunts are epic.
