Disclaimer: I love the film. Always have. That being said, I have a lot of questions. 1. Why does nobody turn on lights? Who just walks around a house in darkness? 2. Why is there a jack-o-lantern next to the bed at the Wallace’s house? 3. Why does Laurie keep throwing the knife away? 4. How does Loomis not hear Laurie scream? 5. Why is … Continue reading I just have a couple questions about the 1978 Halloween…
Venom is Sony’s newest attempt at a Spider-man cinematic universe. And, all in all, it was enjoyable. However, it did have it’s problems. The casting was good, but unfortunately a lot of the characters fell flat. There was an attempt at creating depth within each character, but ultimately everything felt very surface level. Thankfully, Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Eddie Brock worked really well, and brought … Continue reading Venom (2018)
Full disclosure: I have a very strong dislike for the musical Annie. Like, I really really don’t like it. That being said, I tried to watch this film without letting my personal feelings get in the way. Not sure that I was successful, though. Overall, the cast is good. I mean, Carol Burnett playing Ms. Hannigan, Tim Curry as Rooster, Bernadette Peters as Lily, Albert … Continue reading Movie Musical Monday: Annie (1982)
Where do I even begin… The Nun is, chronologically, the first film in The Conjuring Universe. I would like it noted that I hate that The Conjuring Universe is a thing. The Conjuring was a fantastic film based on the ghost stories told by Ed and Lorraine Warren. It does not, however, warrant an entire universe of films around it. Anyway. There are a number … Continue reading The Nun (2018) Review
Rufus T. Firefly is named president/dictator of bankrupt Freedonia and declares war on neighboring Sylvania over the love of wealthy Mrs. Teasdale. Look, I know it’s a classic. I know it’s The Marx Brothers. But, I just don’t find Duck Soup to be particularly interesting. I mean, there’s no real plot. There’s nothing to root for. Duck Soup feels more like a vehicle for individual … Continue reading 60. Duck Soup (1933)
Do we all actually remember the premise to Child’s Play? Because it’s weird as hell. This kid…obsessed much? Of course the doll is called Good Guy. That life size doll in the commercial is HORRIFYING. There is far too much sugar involved in this breakfast this kid is making. This kid, Andy, just reinforces my never wanting children. Who puts jeans in a box like … Continue reading Stream of Consciousness Review: Child’s Play (1988)
I’m just going to say it: this is my favorite Disney animated film. It was my favorite growing up and is still one of my favorites today. So, pardon me if this entry is a little bias. I’ll try my best not to be. Alice in Wonderland was released in 1951.Disney released four other animated films in that decade: Cinderella in 1950, Peter Pan in … Continue reading Revisiting Disney: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Guys, The Meg is out in theaters. And you bet your ass that I paid to see it in XD at my local Cinemark theater. I’ve been waiting for this film because, based on the trailer and the billboards, it promises to be a good time. And it is. The Meg stars Jason Statham (because of course it does), Bingbing Li, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, … Continue reading The Meg (2018) Review
Guys, I just watched The Belko Experiment and that shit messed me up. I’ve been wanting to see it since I saw the first preview for it years ago. Now, it wasn’t amazing by any means. Was it gory? Yes. Was it entertaining? Yes. Was it pretty much just Battle Royale in an office setting? Yes. The Belko Experiment was nothing special in terms of … Continue reading Quick Review: The Belko Experiment (2016)
A director of escapist films goes on the road as a hobo to learn about life, which gives him a rude awakening. With the way this list is set up, I go through these moments of watching a bunch of the Top 100 films all at once and then stopping because I’ve hit a film that I’m not as excited about watching. Sullivan’s Travels was … Continue reading 61. Sullivan’s Travels (1941)
