Movies…with a little bit of obscure culture and sports mixed in
No, this is not the Will Ferrell movie about soccer. That is Kicking & Screaming (2005). Kicking And Screaming (1995) is very different. But wait, sometimes this Kicking And Screaming is sometimes referred to as Kicking & Screaming? It’s all very confusing.
Weeping. Sobbing. Sniffling. These were all things I was doing during and after finishing Aftersun (2022). I was in need of a desperate hug after watching this beautifully rendered, holy devastating story made by first time major filmmaker Charlotte Wells
One fateful night things change for the loveable average joe when he meets with Clare Snyder (Betsy Blair). Clara is presumed ugly by society.
Desperado is not the type of movie to win any awards, but it will win the heart of anyone who matches it. Antonio Banderas is having an absolute blast and Salma Hayek is throwing heat every scene she is in. The whole movie feels as if it was made in Robert Rodriguez’s backyard, making it a passion project with extra pizazz.
Have you ever wondered what it’d be like if you could go back and revisit life altering decisions?
But just because a movie is a slight disappointment doesn’t mean that it is bad.
We love it when a movie star just goes for it. We love it when an A-List personality and very talented actor decides it’s time to say “fuck it” and throws everything against the wall when making a project. And we especially love it when it’s in a HARD R-rated comedy.
The Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) trailer dropped about a month ago, and you can bet your ass that I watched it multiple times that day. Today I am writing about it for the first time just to get my thoughts out. Yes, I know 16 million people have watched this trailer alone on the Warner Bros. Picture page…but I am going to have my moment here.
Reptile (2023) is a sleek murder mystery with plenty of intrigue coated with outstanding performances from Benicio Del Toro and Alicia Silverstone. Director Grant Singer is new to the Hollywood directing scene but this foray into movie making is steeped with style. Reptile has plenty of depth to it, and the story that Singer, Benjamin Brewer and Toro weave has plenty of twists. By the end of the movie, the audience feels like it’s been constricted by the deceitfulness of Reptile’s characters, and that makes for a deliciously untrustworthy viewing experience.
Hypnotic is not a good movie. Despite the story being a passion project for director and writer Robert Rodriguez, the final product is nothing more than a forgettable science fiction mystery headlined by an actor who is giving 20% of his best effort.
“Based on the best-selling pair of memoirs from father and son David and Nic Sheff, Beautiful Boy chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse and recovery in a […]
But, now having finally watched the crazy box office and cultural smashing success, I can say that my doubts were unfounded.
Barbie is a very good movie. There, now everyone can get off my back!
Sometimes a movie sucks. Sometimes you watch a movie when you know a movie is going to suck.
A small group of people must survive a harrowing experience in a unique environment while slowly learning that someone or something can’t be trusted. It becomes a fight for survival and the characters are pushed to limits they didn’t know they could emotionally or physically cross.
There is a LOT happening in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness (2022). Even the title is a very loud mouthful. The highly anticipated Marvel universe blending cameo filled motion picture arrived into theaters last summer and immediately divided audiences.
The quiet disposition of Brynn and her living area gets a loud and rude awakening when an alien invasion begins. Out of nowhere, extra-terrestrials start descending from the sky and Brynn is on her own defending herself and her home.
