So once again I’ve been too busy to post movie reviews. I’ve sen a bunch, but I just haven’t gotten to writing them up. I do talk about films (in a different way) quite often on my podcast, VoxPopcast (cheap plug), so you should totally be listening to that. But if people want me to…
I’ve been busy the last couple weeks and unable to review the films that I’ve seen. Of course I’ve seen them. Two big superhero movies came out, both sequels: Incredibles 2 and Ant-man and the Wasp. Obviously I had to go to both of those… and I did… I was just too busy to write something up.…
Usually I try to not give spoilers when I give a movie review. Every once in a while one comes along that’s impossible to spoil. This is one of those movies. If you’ve seen the trailer, then you know the basic plot. A group of five lifelong friends continue to play a game of tag…
I’m not a fan of Deadpool comics. I get why so many people are, but it’s never really been for me. And that’s fine. Not everything has to be for me. And that’s fine. It’s just not my thing. That said, I really liked the first Deadpool movie. I liked it far more than I…
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…
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 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…
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…
Every once in a while it’s nice to go see a movie just to have fun. Usually when I write these reviews I have some concept in mind that I want to get across, and I have a pretty good idea of what that’s going to be from the trailer before I even go to…
So a big movie was released today and I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for me to talk about it. I’ve been waiting for it for quite a while. Ever since the trailer first came out and it just looked awesome. Obviously I’m talking about The Mountain Between Us. What else were you thinking? Wait, there…
I actually never saw the first Kingsman movie in the theater. That was a mistake; once I watched it at home I loved it. It was ridiculous and simple and yet in many ways completely brilliant in the way in which it reinvented and flipped the tropes of the spy movie into something fun and…
I don’t actually like horror movies. I’m not afraid of them or anything like that. I mostly just don’t care for them. It’s actually kind of weird that I don’t. I tend to actually like genre fiction a lot. And in fact I find the genre conventions of horror fascinating (and in fact, if you’re…
So I went and saw Kidnap with Halle Berry earlier today. You’re not going to see this movie, but you probably SHOULD. Let me make it clear. This is not a very good movie. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it is a good movie. It’s not. Let me stress that. It is…
So this feels a little weird to review what with all the craziness that’s been going on in politics the last 24 hours… but I had already been planning to see this movie, so here we go. Let’s talk about Atomic Blonde. When I review any movie based on a comic book, one of the things…
