So even though I was super busy for the last month and didn’t blog as many movie reviews as I usually do, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t thinking about it. My friend Joe Darowski invited me to be on his podcast, The Protagonist Podcast, to discuss the movie Cool Runnings with him and his co-hosts Todd…
If you know me you know I love the Oscars. I love Oscar season (hmmm… I haven’t had a fancy dress up party for the Oscars in a while, maybe I should). I got a little busy towards the end of the year last year and missed several of the big Oscar flicks. I’m still…
So I saw Black Panther and I for one am shocked — SHOCKED I SAY — by the lack of white people representation in this film. Ok, maybe not… the token two white members of the principle cast had far more to do than I expected they would. Martin Freeman was quite good in it…
Decided to welcome the old MoviePass into 2018 yesterday and saw The Commuter with Liam Neeson. I would like to say that there aren’t going to be any spoilers in this review. And really, there aren’t. Except you know the story already because it’s a liamneeson movie. It’s Taken on a train. You see, there are many…
(Note: I actually saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi Thursday night with Max, Steph and Jenn. I had grading to do today so that slowed down the review process. This was a weird movie to review, but as always I will try to keep it spoiler free, at least until the comment. But I mean,…
I’m not sure which movie I saw the Disaster Artist trailer at for the first time. It doesn’t really matter. What I do remember is that it was buried… maybe three or four trailers deep. But the original trailer opens perfectly: James Franco, doing his best Tommy Wiseau impression from the most iconic scene, in…
This weekend’s movie was a little different. One of my local theaters, Southside Works, screened My Friend Dahmer, a biopic about a young Jeffrey Dahmer’s high school years as seen through the eyes of a friend who has no idea that Dahmer is going to grow up to be one of the country’s most notorious serial…
I really thought the trailer for Coco looked interesting, and I have really been looking forward to seeing it for a while. You might notice that I don’t review many family films (in fact, this is probably the first one I’ve reviewed here). I actually really like family films. I just don’t see them in…
So when I wrote my Justice League review last week, I mentioned that there was no real story to the movie. I said that it was more or less just an instantiation of what I decided to call “Comic Book Movie Plot #3.” I also mentioned that there were roughly five standard comic book movie…
I am a quirky and angsty teenage white girl. OK… I mean… I’m not. I’m a middle aged black man. But sometimes I’m not sure. I like millennial pop music. I like YA fiction. I love me some CW TV shows (and yes, I maybe have a teeny bit of a schoolgirl crush on Stephen…
Remember how on my last review (Murder on the Orient Express) I said I was expecting to say “well, that was a movie” about Justice League as well? Well…. I *GUESS* that was a movie… I mean… there were pictures and stuff… and they moved. Does that qualify? I’ve been going back and forth about the…
It’s been quite a while since I had to use the “well, I guess that technically qualifies as a movie” style of movie review. Well, it’s back. Stephanie and I went to see Murder on the Orient Express tonight and… well, i guess that technically qualifies as a movie. That’s about the highest praise I can give…
I’m actually somewhat surprised that Thor: Ragnarok is doing well. As I write this, it is sitting at a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and is poised to clear $100M+ for the weekend. It deserves every penny. More than any Marvel film — hell, more than any superhero film — since Captain America: The Winter Soldier,…
Sooooo…. apparently Michael Bay is making a Dora the Explorer live action movie. Because, I mean… of course he is. Like I’ve seen the Dora the Explorer cartoon before. And totally, the one thing I think when I see it is “Wow, you know who would be great at making a live action version of…
Yesterday was a good movie watching day for me. I already posted my review of Happy Death Day earlier, but since I finally got my Movie Pass card, Steph and I decided to make it a double feature and went to another movie that I had been really looking forward to right after. The biopic…
