It’s not often that comedy will age well. Whether it’s cultural refences no longer being relevant or turns of phrases or puns no longer making sense as language changes. I mean, most jokes in Shakespeare plays have to be explained in the foot notes. It’s not often that something is able to hold it’s comedic…
I should stop watching scary movies. I can never sleep the next night. Yet, I keep watching them. I’m sure there is some psychological explanation as to why I keep going back to them. I think I like the challenge of it. I like the challenge of trying to predict what will happen next. What…
Ah! I do not like horror movies. I do not like them. I do not like getting scared. Why would you want to get scared? That’s so weird. And yet, I keep watching horror movies? Why? Why do I do that to myself? Is it peer pressure? Is it society doing it to me? Whatever…
1917 (2019) is movie set in World War 1 about two soldiers racing to the front lines to try and prevent a doomed attack. Overall, the movie is incredible, but I want to talk about once scene in particular. So, spoilers ahead. Chills. Every time. Chills. I remember seeing this scene in theaters, the whole…
I got to imagine a lot goes into deciding a movie’s title. Right? First the writer comes up with it, then some producer has to approve it, then a legal team probably checks it out, and a marketing team has to give it it’s final approval. All these people had to come together to give…
I know, I know, I’m really late to the game on this one. I should’ve binged it last year when it was sweeping every TV awards show, but I was busy binging other stuff at the time. I finally got around to watching it and wow, I’m so mad at myself for taking so long.…
Sometimes, a bad action movie is a least worth a watch for some cool action scenes or cheesy one-liners. But not, Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) it doesn’t even have a cheesy charm to it. It sucks for every reason you can imagine a Michael Bay movie would suck. However, the score kicks some serious…

Um… This was not something I knew about. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), based on the autobiography of the same name, is about prolific game show producer Chuck Barris (The Dating Game, The Newly Wed Game, and The Gong Show) who claims to have been a contract killer for the CIA. I never even…
Sometimes, you just don’t have it. You just feel lost and have no ideas. It’s nice to know that someone as talented as Charlie Kaufman goes through the same thing. Adaptation (2002) is about just that. Adaptation, written by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich), is an exaggerated account of Charlie Kaufman’s attempt to write an…
Fargo (1996) is a fun movie. An early film in the career of The Cohen Brother’s, Fargo is police officer investigating a crime committed by a group of bungling criminals. What truly makes this movie something special is the constant juxtaposition between the nice, polite mannerisms of the main characters and the horrible, brutal acts…
I started this movie expecting, and admittedly wanting, some silly dumb romantic comedy featuring two of the hottest stars of the mid-2000s. But that is not what I got. That’s not what I got at all. I mean, first of all, Kristen Dunst, the female lead, doesn’t get any significant screen time until almost an…
Ethan Hawke’s character has a pretty bad day in Training Day (2001). Training Day is a movie about a rookie LAPD Officer (Hawke) who is being trained by a veteran, and corrupt, narcotics detective (Denzel Washington). And, let me tell you, Washington’s character really puts Hawke’s through the wringer. Um, spoilers, obviously. Here is a…

Stupid movies are fun. There I said it. Sometimes I want to want a movie and not end up crying at the end or learn something about society or whatever. Sometimes, I want to watch some dumb people try to survive the apocalypse in a convoluted way. The Day After Tomorrow (2004) is just the…
I know Summer isn’t the bad guy. The movie knows Summer isn’t the bad guy. And yet, I see a lot of people thinking Summer is the bad guy. For anyone who doesn’t know 500 Days Of Summer (2009) is a movie about a guy named Tom (Joseph Gordon Levitt) who falls in love with…

OK, due to cultural osmosis, even if you haven’t seen this movie, you probably have some idea what it’s about. Brokeback Mountain (2005) is the gay cowboy movie. I mean, that’s simplifying the plot an almost criminal amount, but that’s just how everyone thinks of it. That’s how I thought of it, until right now,…

I’m not much of a baseball guy, and math is… well, math. So, imagine my enthusiasm *cue eyeroll* when I heard there was a movie about both. But, it was Oscar nominated and starred Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, to actors I like, so I figured I’d give it a try. For those who don’t…
Yeah, you read that right. Shrek (2001) turned twenty, today! Feel old yet? Shrek has graduated high school. Shrek is in it’s sophomore year of college. Shrek is old enough to legally get married, although it shouldn’t, but it can. Shrek can buy cigarettes and lottery tickets. Shrek is a year away from being able…
To be honest, this movie is at best, OK. But, luckily, I don’t really want to talk about the movie. I want to talk about the cast. Because, oh boy. This movie has quite the murder’s row of talent playing interchangeable characters that is super hard to tell apart. Here is a taste of the…
Tenet (2020) is a movie about time travel, maybe? I mean, I think it is? I guess what I’m saying is Tenet is a confusing movie. And if you’ve seen it or heard anyone talk about it, that’ sprobably not much of a surprise. The time travel logic that the movie uses is confusing. The…
To be completely honest, my understanding of Watergate begins and ends with that one scene from Forrest Gump (1994). But, now, thanks to All The President’s Men (1976), based on the novel by the same name, I think I understand it. Well… sort of? I know enough to make conversation about it. But, I don’t…
