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
My experience with the Downton Abbey show before seeing the movie was comprised of the various times I walked into a room where my family was watching it and chuckling when the fun British Boy said a fun word. I knew the show was good, I knew the basic premise, I knew it had a … Continue reading Downton Abbey (2019) – The Most Stressful Experience I’ve Had in a Movie Theater
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
The day was June 1, 2019. I was in Salt Lake City with my theater group during performance week. My good friend Ben and me walked passed the Disney Store during our lunch break. We had already eaten, so we had some time to kill. I said to Ben, "We will find us a friend … Continue reading I Am Obsessed With Buying Forky Merchandise
I can't stop thinking about Upgrade. It is embedded into my mind like STEM is embedded into Upgrade's protagonist. STEM allows a man, (who I call Tom Hardy-ish) who was paralyzed in an attack from a high-tech gang that killed his wife, to walk again. It soon becomes sentient and helps Tom Hardy-ish find his … Continue reading Upgrade Movie Review: a Brutal and Bad-Ass Vision of the Future
