Uncut Gems (2019) – Movie Review

I had initially viewed “Uncut Gems” in theaters in the first week of January of 2020 and had chosen to forgo writing a review. I had just returned from a 10-day road trip and was responsible for seeing “1917”, “Richard Jewell”, “Little Women”, and “Bombshell” in the same week to catch up on what IContinue reading “Uncut Gems (2019) – Movie Review”

Parasite (2019) -Movie Review

It is a rare occurrence that an Eastern film would get any mainstream attention upon its initial release in the West.

The omnipresent sensation that something is off and the paranoia that comes with that areContinue reading “Annihilation (2018) – Movie Review”

The Prestige (2006) – Movie Review

As a devout Christopher Nolan fanboy, one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made in my meaningless life was choosing which Nolan epic I would review first. If you have read any of my first two Top 10 Lists, you’ll know I have a particular affinity for “The Dark Knight”, however “The Prestige”Continue reading “The Prestige (2006) – Movie Review”
