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
When I first saw the trailers for Ready or Not, it immediately became one of my most anticipated movies of the year. The interesting premise, the dark wit, the large cast of fun characters, the great editing, and the gore all came together in a trailer that seemed to be directly marketed at me. I … Continue reading Ready or Not – Quick Thoughts
To say that Good Boys is pretty much just Superbad brought back 6 grades is accurate, but it also isn't giving the movie enough credit. While Superbad is a really funny movie with themes about growing up and moving on, Good Boys is a movie about growing up and moving on that is really funny … Continue reading Good Boys – Quick Thoughts
When I watched the first Angry Birds Movie, the birds made me angry. I am not a fan of hunting, but I really wanted to put on some camo and go for a hunt in Bird Island. The trailers for the second one looked just as bad as the first, so I promised myself I … Continue reading The Angry Birds Movie 2 – 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
I had the amazing opportunity to see an advance screening of The Peanut Butter Falcon with a Q&A with the directors (Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz) after the movie. To prepare for the Q&A, I went through their IMDB and watched everything I could find. This is their first feature-length movie, but they have made … Continue reading The Peanut Butter Falcon – Quick Thoughts
This one was a bummer. The trailers looked cool, I was excited to see what the comics were all about, I was excited to see Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish in serious rolls, and I was invited to an advance screening of the movie, so I was really looking forward to this. So imagine my … Continue reading The Kitchen – Quick Thoughts
I liked this movie. I liked the live-action Dora movie. I thought the live-action Dora movie was clever. I thought the live-action Teen-Dora movie was fun and well-done. Wow. 8/10
Hobbes and Shaw is pretty much Mission Impossible II starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. They are both spy thrillers that focus on trying to stop the bad boys from getting a virus that is contained inside the female lead. They both have an extra third act that feels tacked on and takes place on … Continue reading Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbes and Shaw – Quick Thoughts
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I’ve just barely started ingesting Tarantino flicks, and I’m loving it. I’ve seen Kill Bill 1, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Bastards, and Django Unchained so far. (Django’s my favorite.) All of those movies are amazing, so I had pretty high expectations for his newest picture: Once Upon a Time in … Continue reading Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – Quick Thoughts
