This week, I was not interested in any new films that were released last week, so instead of reviewing a movie I’ll never watch again, I decided I'd rather talk about three films and one TV show available...
“Isle of Dogs” is the newest film from acclaimed director and writer Wes Anderson, his first film since 2014’s “Grand Budapest Hotel.” This film sees the director return to the art of stop-motion...
“A Quiet Place” feels like this year's “Get Out.” Both are horror films from a newer director, who got their big breaks on television comedies and are wildly original and entertaining. John Krasinski,...
“Ready Player One” is one strange movie. The action scenes and CGI were absolutely outstanding, making everything on screen feel real and the fake characters not-so fake. That being said, those characters...
So far, in my tenure writing columns for this newspaper, almost every film I have seen in theaters I’ve enjoyed. Most are excetotal fights between monsters and robots. This film has less monster fighting...
Science fiction movies are easily my favorite kinds of films. I love the way the genre explores human issues and problems through the vein of a high concept idea or story. “Annihilation,” a 2018 film...
It’s that wonderful time of the year for us film nerds, where the speculation finally ends and our guesses about the Oscars are either confirmed or denied. I always love making my own guesses for most...
Marvel can do no wrong. We are coming up on the 10 year anniversary of when the original “Iron Man“ was released, kicking off the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and changing the ways studios viewed...
Even though I wasn’t alive when this crime happened, everyone knows about the attack on Nancy Kerrigan right before the 1994 winter Olympics. Right before the OJ Simpson trial, this was the biggest crime...
Going into a movie about a relationship between a woman and a fishman, I was skeptical to say the least. "The Shape Of Water" is a 2017 film directed, produced and written by Guillermo del Toro. This film...
I always try to go to movies as blind and unbiased as possible. However, it was nearly impossible to shield myself from the hype around “Lady Bird.” This is Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut, starring...
Oscar bait movies are usually boring: there’s no denying that fact. They usually tell the story of an important figure in history, while showing either their whole lives or a single critical moment....
I originally planned on writing a review this week on the new “Justice League” film however after watching this totally average superhero movie, I felt there was nothing new I could really add that...
Once a year, it seems like a major comic book franchise tries to do something new and unexpected, and it usually either works out really well for the franchise or tanks any possibilities of any future...
The world of TV is changing right before our eyes. The allure of a basic cable channel run is seemingly gone, as more and more of our entertainment moves online. The leader of the online revolution has...
The key to good sci-fi is an understanding of the parallels with modern society and a good mix of futuristic technology with intriguing plots. It is hard to pull off a good sci-fi film, but luckily my...
Spy movies are boring. James Bond is boring. Yet, if I told you there was a spy movie franchise that doesn’t take itself seriously in the slightest yet feels more grounded than some of the bigger budget...
When I first heard that the Stephen King novel “It” would be remade for the big screen instead of a ABC TV miniseries, I felt two very different ways. One, I was sick of remakes and remasters of older...
Studio interference can either completely butcher a film, or provide the necessary guidance to get the movie to the correct place, not only in the eyes of the Studio but also the director. The newest movie...
Think back on your favorite comedic moments in film. When I think about my favorite moments of pure comedic genius, almost every one of them has some level of tragedy that inspires the comedic events,...
Nine years ago, superhero movies were not the hot button commodity they are today However, they still had success at the box office, from Sam Raimi’s original “SpiderMan” “Trilogy” (Let's just...

Good horror movies are hard to come by, and even harder to make. The same can be said about good comedies, and mixing the two genres can result in something great, or something horrible. Luckily, “Get...
Director David Mackenzie's “Hell or High Water,” is a 2016 limited release movie starring Chris Pine, Ben Foster and Jeff Bridges. Pine and Foster play two brothers who need to raise $43,000 in order...
