I didn’t know it, but I was starved for a film with rounded characters, incredible action, a captivating soundtrack and a dash of charm. Essentially, I wanted to see a good movie, but hadn’t had the pleasure. Baby Driver delivered all of the above in aces. The non stop action, the colorful characters and the... Continue Reading →
I wrote this review on July 25, 2019. Considering the recent success of The Suicide Squad, I thought I'd share my thoughts on this movie and the fate of the DC movies. I had a lot of fun with this movie. I don’t know if it was on purpose, but I think this movie was... Continue Reading →
The following review was written May 25, 2017 but was not published. It does not follow my recent review structure, but I had a wet dream about Vin so I had to go back and think about the other movies he's been in that I've reviewed. There are so, so many. I’ve just seen a... Continue Reading →
In the past I’ve harked about mislaid bricks in franchise films, and how poorly laid bricks lead to compounding failure, or the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This movie is the latter. The Suicide Squad is a ridiculous, bloody, meta, hilarious, excellent movie that absolutely deserves a watch. The writing is intelligent, the story is captivating,... Continue Reading →
Some pretty person suggested I go through Steven Soderbergh’s filmography due to his influence on modern cinema. He’s gained a lot of fame and recognition for his innovative filmmaking early on, and wider appeal for his slick, witty, Ocean’s heist films. Since Contagion has a lot of relevance to the COVID-19 pandemic that’s perhaps nearing... Continue Reading →
Agents of SHIELD is one of the best superhero shoes out there. The characters are complex and nuanced, the storylines are believable and engaging, the effects border on acceptable. I get it. The show is cheesy. It’s campy, it’s cringey, it’s lo-fi. I’m not saying it’s the most polished, cinematic, earth shattering piece of media... Continue Reading →
Woof. What happened here? Marvel’s Black Widow is one of the few times I’ve felt that an MCU film was more miss than hit. I really wanted to like it, and there’s a lot to like. But there’s also some key chunks that are missing that really, really annoyed me. It feels like a tragic,... Continue Reading →
I hated this movie. It was so forced and plastic and loud. So loud. Boom People worship Cartoon Network. They love crap like Ed Edd and Eddy and Chowder and Flapjack. Look. You’re not wrong for liking what you like and I adore the fact that people my age have a different favorite show than... Continue Reading →
The last time I cared about a zombie-based media was the final season of Game of Thrones, where the big bad guy gets nerfed by a random little girl hiding in a tree. Before that was The Walking Dead, which is apparently still… on air? Snyder’s Army of the Dead is the first time I... Continue Reading →
This review concerns the Joss Whedon led and edited 2017 release of Justice League. I wrote this review shortly after release, and these are my restructured thoughts, edited for readability. Justice League is such an incredible movie, because I am unable to determine if it was bad or not. I can’t figure out if I... Continue Reading →
