This show is ballsy. Not because of the amount of balls you see, or the dope risks it takes with its story, or even its fascinating and layered political statements, Watchmen is ballsy because of how un-ballsy it seems at first. Somebody could watch the first few episodes and assume that it’s just a pretty … Continue reading HBO’s Watchmen: Series Review
If I was to imagine how director Sam Mendes pulled this movie off, even just for a few seconds, my mind would collapse into a puddle of goo. 1917 is a war film that is made to look like one shot. Welcome to Bonkers Town, Population: 1917. But Sam did it. That silly bastard did … Continue reading 1917 – Movie Review
The Irishman is a long-as-hell gangster movie, and I really didn't want to watch it. Even though it was a Scorsese flick, and I've loved every movie of his that I've seen, I really didn't want to watch a 3 1/2 hour movie that didn't look much different from the other gangster movies I've seen. … Continue reading The Irishman – Movie Review
My friend and I walked into our Thursday night screening of Frozen II with grand expectations. The brilliant trailers promised an epic story with a darker tone and plenty of mystery. The fact that they announced an entire documentary series about the behind-the-scenes of this one movie seemed to confirm that this was something special. … Continue reading Frozen II – Review
I am a boyman. I went to see Charlie's Angels because I wanted to. But after a montage of stock footage women doing inspiring shit to stick it to the man, I kind of got the feeling that I was not welcome. I felt like Elizabeth Banks was shaking her head disapprovingly at all boymen … Continue reading Charlie’s Angels (2019) – Movie Review
Terminator: Dark Fate made a stupid dumb idiot decision that single-handedly sunk this movie. They gave a certain character one hell of a “dark fate” during the first five minutes of the movie that is equivalent to James Cameron taking a piss on a DVD copy of T-2 while flipping the fans off and doing … Continue reading Terminator: Dark Fate – Movie Review
I've been slacking when it comes to movie reviews, so I'm just going to do 6 Even-Quicker Thoughts about some more movies I've seen. Ad Astra Ad Astra is a Brad Pitt space-flick that has a lot of really cool ideas, but it doesn't fully explore any of them and has an unbelievably underwhelming third … Continue reading Movie Review 6-Pack (Zombieland 2, Maleficent 2, The Addams Family, and 3 More!)
When I first saw Joker, I thought it was a excellent. But after seeing it for a second and third time... it's a MASTAPEEEECE LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! You heard me right. A MASTAPEEEECE. Joaquin Phoenix's performance is masterful and Oscar-Worthy, Todd Phillips' directing is meticulous and powerful, the story is woven in such a way … Continue reading Joker – Quick Thoughts
It (2017) means a lot to me. It was the first R-Rated movie I saw in theaters. I wrote an essay to convince my parents to let me watch it, and my mom reluctantly agreed to go with me. I'm really glad she did, because holy shit, that movie is so good! If I get … Continue reading It: Chapter Two – Quick Thoughts
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a really well-made gateway horror movie, just as the books were horror gateways for many kids. It features strong performances, crazy cool creature design, and an engaging enough plot. I could see this becoming something that people put on every Halloween. 8/10
