Poltergeist (1982) – They’re here

I hate horror movies. I really do. It’s nothing to do with them, it’s me. I can’t handle them. I scare very easily. So, I tend to stay away from them. But I figured if I watch it in the middle of the day then maybe it would be better. Since nothing, in my experience,…

Clear and Present Danger (1994) – I don’t know… Kind of boring, I guess?

Maybe I’m broken. Maybe I’ve grown too accustomed to modern action movies. Maybe I’m not being fair to this movie. But in my defense. This movie isn’t very good. Which is weird. Because I feel like I hear people talking about how great this movie is all the time? I mean, this movie is based…

Footloose (1984) – Kick Off The Sunday Shoes

Everybody cut. Everybody cut. Everybody cut Footloose (1984). I get. I finally get. I understand exactly why this movie is still so popular. It’s kind of like a less sexy Dirty Dancing. Don’t get me wrong, Footloose is perfectly sexy, it’s just Kevin Bacon is no Patrick Swayze. This movie did everything right to cement…

The Cable Guy (1996) – A Strange Meta Commentary on Jim Carrey’s Famous Characters

Now, I had never heard of this movie. Well, I had heard about it. But I had never really heard anyone talk about it. All I really knew was that it was a Jim Carrey movie. So, going in, I really didn’t know what to expect. Yet, what I got, was still very far from…

The Mask (1994) – Jim Carrey at His Jim Carriest

Whether you like him or not, you have to admit, Jim Carrey is a magnetic performer. In every movie he is always the most physical and animated. Doing weird faces and funny voices. Waving his body around all crazy. And The Mask (1994) is peak Jim Carrey. I have a hard time believing that this…

Clue (1985) – Communism Was A Red Herring

It was… Miss Scarlett, in the Kitchen, with the knife! Or was it? Clue (1985) is a murder mystery comedy based on the children’s game of the same name. The murder mystery genre is probably the genre with the most tropes. The butler did it. The lights go out only for them to come back…

Terminator (1984) – An Argument Both In Favor Of And Against Practical Effects.

I’ll be back. Come with me if you want to live. These classic lines and more can be found in Terminator (1984). As well as all of the sequels, mostly to eye-rolling effect, and a surprising number of other movies. If you don’t know, Terminator (1984) is about a woman (Linda Hamilton) being hunted by…

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again (2018) – The Feel-Good Movie That Feel Good Movies Watch To Feel Good.

I say this with no exaggeration, no hesitation, and not a drop of irony. Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love this movie. I love everything about this movie so much. Mamma Mia 2 is the most feel good movie to ever make anyone feel…

West Side Story (1961) – Never Has Snapping Been So Intimidating

Boy, boy, crazy boy, Stay loose, boy. Breeze it, buzz it, Easy does it, Turn off the juice, boy. Never before had I thought that snapping could be so intimidating but these Jets and Sharks know what they’re doing. West Side Story (1961) is a movie, based on the Broadway musical of the same name,…

Film Review: Colewell (2019)

Colewell: A tranquil, introspective look into the challenges of later life

Dirty Dancing (1987) – NOBODY Puts Baby In The Corner! | TREMG FILM ARCHIVES, a REVIEW

Jennifer Grey? I’m in. Patrick Swayze? Yes, please! The two of them dancing together in a way that can truly only be described as sexy? Sounds like a timeless classic to me. And it is. With its iconic scenes and a even more iconic soundtrack, Dirty Dancing holds up! To be completely honest, I had…

The Muppet Movie (1979) – Simply delightful.

I love the Muppets. I do. I am a gown man and I absolutely love these wacky guys. In my eyes, the Muppets can do no wrong. And this movie is all the proof I need. This movie even has all the original voice actors for the Muppets, which is just always a joy to…

Air Force One (1997) – Die Hard On A Plane.

Why are all the best presidents the fake ones from movies? Bill Pullman in Independence Day, Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact, Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln. They are all great. One of the best among them is Harrison Ford in Air Force One. Air Force One is a 1997 action film staring Harrison Ford as President…

Clueless (1995): The ‘90s Time Capsule Or Proof That Paul Rudd Doesn’t Age.

Clueless (1995) is an interesting time capsule containing the culture of the mid-‘90s. The fashion, the slang, the technology, the music, all of it screams ‘90s. As someone who grew up mainly in the 2000s, it is movies like this that show me how the world used to be. I mean everything is so different.…

Risky Business (1983): Not As Problematic As I Expected

If you’ve been wondering, like I have, which movie has Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear to Bob Segar’s Old Time Rock & Roll. It’s this one. I found it. It’s Risky Business. And… this film is not what you think it is. Or at least what I thought it was. I mean, for years,…

I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) – The Film That Spoils Its Own Ending

The plots of many films are so ridiculous that you know they are not based on a true story. Some films, however, are that ridiculous but somehow are still based on a true story. This is the case with Mary Harron’s I Shot Andy Warhol (1996). With a simple style, it’s scandalous subjects, straight-forward motif,…

Slacker (1990): The Film About Nothing

Few films can truly say that they are something original and unique. When you find a film that can, you know it is something special. Richard Linklater’s Slacker (1990)can. With a wonderfully creative style, diverse subjects, fun characters, and a non-existent message, Slacker has quickly become one of my favorite films that I’ve watched in…

Sophisticated Palette

A review of Abe By: Nicole Klein From the director and writer Fernando Grostein Andrade comes a delightful and emotional romp that’s more flavorful than it seems. Abe offers up equal helpings of heartwarming comedy, and tear-jerking emotion, but is seasoned by its unique visual language and high quality acting. Abe follows the tale of the…
