Black Hawk Down (2001) – Too Many Stars!

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) – I Think I Understand It?

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…

All The President’s Men (1976) – NOW I Understand Watergate

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…

Argo (2012) vs. The Last King of Scotland (2006): Who Has The Tensest Plane Boarding Scene?

Every good movie is different. Has the special something that makes the movie stand out. However, sometimes, the movies, while being completely different, can share weird similarities. One example of this is Argo (2012) and The Last King of Scotland (2006) both ending with scenes of the main characters boarding planes, hoping not to be…

Saving Private Ryan (1998) – Vin Diesel’s Best Movie

Yeah! I said it! Hot take of the year! Saving Private Ryan (1998) is Vin Diesel’s best movie. Now, I predict there are four types of reactions to my hot take. The first, is you Fast and Furious fans. I hear you saying, “but… but… Fast Seven is so good!” And, I enjoy turn your…

Dracula (1992) – Starring Keanu Reeves’ Accent

There is a lot to be scared by in this movie based on the Bram Stoker novel, but, I’ll be damned, the scariest thing I can think of is Keanu Reeves horrific British accent. Now, I’ll be honest, I was not alive yet in 1992, so I don’t exactly what the acting scene was like.…

Labyrinth (1985) – Just David Bowie Having A Good Time

David Bowie in eccentric outfits. The creature design of the Jim Henson Company. The writing of a Monty Python alum. Truly a match made in heaven. There is a lot to love about the movie, but what truly sticks out for me is how much fun David Bowie seems to be having. He’s playing the…

The Weird World Of Mars Needs Moms (2011)

OK, I watched Mars Needs Moms (2011) as a joke. Kinda, in the same way I watched Cats. As a joke, mainly to be able to say to people that I’ve seen it. But, I also was very curious to see why Mars needed those moms. And, it’s weird. But, not in the way you…

The Exorcist (1973) – Scary?

First thing you need to know, I am a baby when it comes to scary movies. I really can not handle them. But, for some reason, I decided to watch The Exorcist (1973). But, to the surprise to me, I wasn’t all that scared. After the movie ended, I wondered why. I wondered why I…

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) – Not What I Thought

I guess, when you sit down to watch a movie where Zac Efron plays one of America’s most prolific serial killers, Ted Bundy, you should check all expectations at the door. But, as it turns out, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) is not about Ted Bundy. Well, it is, and it isn’t. It’s…

Space Jam (1996) – What A Wild Movie

Everybody get up it’s time to slam nowWe got a real jam goin’ downWelcome to the Space Jam This movie has everything. Basketball, Baseball, Looney Tunes, Newman from Seinfeld. It’s basically the perfect movie. I would love to have a conversation with the people who came up this this movie. Because they were probably smoking…

Cats (2019) – I Watched It

I don’t know exactly what life choices I made that lead me to this moment. But, I do know I regret them all. Everything you’ve heard about this movie is true… it’s all true… pray for me…. It’s just… It’s not good. The set design is good and the songs aren’t bad. But, holey moly.…

Young Frankenstein (1975) – A Salute To Classic Movies

Young Frankenstein (1975) is your classic Mel Brooks movie. Full of goofs, gaffes, and that classic irreverent Mel Brooks humor. But, what truly sets Young Frankenstein apart from other Mel Brooks movies is how its stylized. This movie looks exactly how it would look if it was truly a classic universal horror movie made back…

Sound Of Metal (2019) – Incredible Use Of Subtitles

There is a lot that could be said about Sound Of Metal (2019). The performances, the cinematography, the writing, the sound design, etc. But, I want to talk about one specific aspect of the film, the subtitles. For anyone who doesn’t know, Sound Of Metal is about a drummer who starts to go deaf. In…

The Lost Boys (1987) – The Original Sexy Vampires

Stupid Sexy Vampires…

P.S. I Love You (2007) – Charming

P.S. I Love You (2007) is a romance comedy about a young widow receiving letters from her deceased husband written before he died to help her with the grieving process. Ultimately, the movie is worth the watch simply for the charming chemistry between the two leads, Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. Swank, who plays the…

An American Werewolf in London (1981) – Horrifying

The 1981 comedey horror film An American Were Wolf In London is about an American backpacking through London who gets attacked by a Werewolf and turns into one. Its an OK movie. It’s fine. But what’s truly great about the movie, is the werewolf transformation scenes. The transformation from man into werewolf was done with…

Ocean’s 11 (2001) – Insanely Rewatchable

Maybe its just me. But, I find this 2001 heist film, staring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, and many more, to be insanely rewatchable. If you’ve never seen the movie, it is about eleven guys working together to rob three different casinos in Las Vegas in one night. The movie is structured…

Superman (1978) – The Best Superman

Christopher Reeves is the best Superman. Sorry, but that’s simply a fact. Other actors are good Superman, yes, but Reeves is the best. Why? Because he embodies both parts of the character perfectly. I mean, just watch this clip. Reeves is able to masterfully portray both sides of the character in a way that I…

Batman Returns (1992) – Goofy Corny Goodness

Sometimes, a little bit of corniness is all you need. And, I can think of no better way to get it than Batman Returns (1992). The second Tim Burton/Michael Keaton Batman movie is goofy in all the best ways. From the fights, to the costumes, to the acting. It’s silly perfection. In today’s super hero…
