Is lying ok? Does the reasoning behind your actions mean more than the actions themselves? Whose burden is it grieve loss? “The Farewell” is openly based on an actual lie about a family trying to hide the fact that their grandmother is dying from her while spending one last gathering with her. Director Lulu WangContinue reading “The Farewell (2019) – Movie Review”

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw (2019) – Movie Review
The “Fast & Furious” franchise has had one of the most fascinating lifespans in Hollywood, and with its newest spinoff “Hobbs and Shaw”, it has proven that there will always be a time and occasion for a film of the franchise to exist. What was once a localized series focused on youth street racing hasContinue reading “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw (2019) – Movie Review”
Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood (2019) – Movie Review
***SPOILER WARNING*** When asked in an interview what genre his film “Inglourious Basterds” falls under, director Quentin Tarantino said he believes it is acceptable to view his work as a sort of fairy tale since the story takes place within actual events, but fictional characters transform the outcome and create an alternate history of sorts.Continue reading “Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood (2019) – Movie Review”
Crawl (2019) – Movie Review
If you were to ask me a month ago if I ever had any intentions of seeing this movie, I would have laughed derisively in your face and possibly even spit on you. How dare you insult me by wasting my time with a question like that? The film looked stupid and was a ratherContinue reading “Crawl (2019) – Movie Review”
When Harry Met Sally (1989) – Movie Review
Very seldom do I stray into the realm of romantic comedies. I have nothing against them, but as a red-bearded human being with an awkward disposition and little hopes of ever attracting a mate, despite how handsome my mother claims I am, I just find the stories to exist on the periphery of my reality.Continue reading “When Harry Met Sally (1989) – Movie Review”
Django Unchained (2012) – Movie Review
A question I am sure everyone has asked themselves at least once in their life is “What do you get when you mix slavery, violence, and an effeminate yet sinister southern charmer as a villain?”. It is a perfectly reasonable question, so don’t act like it hasn’t crossed your mind before. Well, the answer isContinue reading “Django Unchained (2012) – Movie Review”
Midsommar (2019) – Movie Review
I hope everyone is prepared for a good old-fashioned rant because the juices are flowing and we are rolling downhill. I just got out of the theater where I viewed “Midsommar”, a film that was marketed beautifully. I was convinced that this would be some mind-melting, artistic, philosophical horror spectacular. Even the great Jordan Peele,Continue reading “Midsommar (2019) – Movie Review”
Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) – Movie Review
At long last, Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now complete, and what a doozie that was! After “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame” blew our tiny little minds, “Spider-Man: Far from Home” is here to essentially serve as an epilogue to the most ambitious chapter this franchise has produced so far. ConsiderContinue reading “Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) – Movie Review”
Toy Story 4 (2019) – Movie Review
EMOTIONS! Yes, Pixar is back on their bullshit again, and you better believe you will cry or you will die trying. “Toy Story 4”, or what I have dubbed “Toy Story IV: The Quest for Peace”, is the fourth time Pixar has hit us with this story about the life of toys, a journey ofContinue reading “Toy Story 4 (2019) – Movie Review”
Tropic Thunder (2008) – Movie Review
I am usually not a fan of the antics of Ben Stiller. Aside from the “Dodgeball” most of Stiller’s films are insufferable. A friend of mine once described the unreasonably popular “Meet the Fockers” series as just 3 separate 2-hour installments of Ben Stiller suffering, and despite my best efforts, I have yet to comeContinue reading “Tropic Thunder (2008) – Movie Review”
