Is it good? No. Is it bad? Yeah. Is it THAT bad? No. Is this movie's existence useless and a bit insulting to fans of the series? A bit. Is it fun? Yeah. Kinda. It's just been done a lot better a lot of times. Does this format work well for reviews? Not at all. … Continue reading Dark Pheonix – Quick Thoughts

Booksmart – Quick Thoughts
Booksmart might not reinvent the wheel when it comes to this kind of teen comedy, but I'll be damned if it doesn't refine that wheel until it's as smooth as a baby's bottom. That was a bad sentence I just typed. Sorry. This movie is so smarty written and so visually interesting, that it's almost … Continue reading Booksmart – Quick Thoughts
Brightburn – Quick Thoughts
Brightburn is best enjoyed if you know what you're getting in to beforehand, 'cause this shit get nasty. It is a gnarly picture, but if you're into that, you'll have a pretty good time. Luckily for me, I love me some gnarly pictures! Some of the imagery in this movie is... muah! (Insert Chef Kiss … Continue reading Brightburn – Quick Thoughts
Rocketman – Quick Thoughts
I really loved Rocketman. I loved the abstract and emotional musical numbers, I loved the nuances in the acting, I loved the subtle ways that it communicates its themes and ideas, I loved the very unsubtle ways that it communicates its themes and ideas. It might get a little cheesy at points, but I loved … Continue reading Rocketman – Quick Thoughts
Godzilla: King of the Monsters – Quick Thoughts
There is one line in this movie that sums up the entire movie's mindset. I don't remember it too well, so I'm paraphrasing here: "I know it might not make sense at first, but I assure you it does." This movie's dumb. I don't want to talk about it any more. 4/10
Aladdin (2019) – Quick Thoughts
The original Aladdin is my second favorite Disney movie of all time, (Number one is Lilo and Stitch, thank you for asking.) and after that abysmal marketing campaign, I was sure that this new remake would be an atrocity. Maybe it's because I had such low expectations, but I had a blast with this movie! … Continue reading Aladdin (2019) – Quick Thoughts
John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum – Quick Thoughts
The John Wick series continues to push the action movie bar higher and higher with each entry, creating action movie perfection that oozes with passion and creativity. Every action scene is so well thought through and so badass, that your eyes forget to blink while you relish in the glory. Keanu Reeves is still a … Continue reading John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum – Quick Thoughts
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu – Quick Thoughts
Detective Pikachu is an incredibly fun mix of Zootopia and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? that is a must see for even the most casual of Pokemon fans. I was entranced by the amazing CGI Pokemon and the world that they inhabited even when the plot started to feel a little familiar. The banter between Ryan … Continue reading Pokemon: Detective Pikachu – Quick Thoughts
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile – Quick Thoughts
If you look past this movie's awful title and bogus controversy about sexualizing Ted Bundy, there is a pretty tasty movie underneath. I don't know too much about the actual Ted Bundy case, so if this movie got stuff wrong, I wouldn't be the one to tell you. I just saw this movie as a … Continue reading Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile – Quick Thoughts
Long Shot – Quick Thoughts
Long Shot is a great evolution of the 90's rom-com. It keeps those movies' spirit intact while bringing them into the modern world and addressing issues that are applicable to the rom-com audience of today. The chemistry between Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron is surprisingly sweet. It's nothing groundbreaking, but Long Shot is a well-written … Continue reading Long Shot – Quick Thoughts
