Written and directed by James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy), The Suicide Squad is a reboot of sorts of the 2016 David Ayer Suicide Squad. You know, the one that Warner Brothers just couldn’t keep their hands out of? ANYWAY. James Gunn clearly had a vision and he was not going to make the film unless he had 95% of the control. And, I’m happy … Continue reading The Suicide Squad (2021)
You’ve heard of Christine. You’ve heard of Maximum Overdrive. But, neither even comes close to the 1977 masterpiece The Car. Starring James Brolin as a small town sheriff, The Car is about, well, a self-driving car that is possessed by….something, that uses its power to kill a total of eleven people in this small town. This film is wild. Let’s start off with the fact that the composer, … Continue reading Midnight Movie: The Car (1977)
The Rescuers is definitely one of the Disney animated films that deserves more love and to be pushed more into the mainstream. For those unfamiliar with the film, The Rescuers is the tale of two mice of the Rescue Aid Society who search for Penny, a little girl who was kidnapped by treasure hunters trying to find the world’s largest diamond. The film features the voices … Continue reading Revisiting Disney: The Rescuers (1977)
Most reviews that I have seen of this film has been from a male perspective, and that’s fine. But, I think that it’s important to look at it from a female perspective and realize the importance of films like this one. Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is an overall solid film with an awesome title. I had some issues … Continue reading Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)
Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the New Year. I realize that the January is nearly over and I have not posted anything. But that is with good reason. I moved apartments! I moved into a bigger place that is closer to my work and has a washer and dryer IN-UNIT. I’m pretty psyched. Now, I’ve been trying to organize my writing space, and I’ve started … Continue reading Hobo with a Shotgun (2011): A Ridiculous B-Movie Masterpiece
Not everybody likes Christmas. Some people do not have good memories attached to the holiday, much like Phoebe Cates’ character in Gremlins. So, maybe It’s A Wonderful Life is too mushy for you. Maybe you’ve seen The Santa Clause and Home Alone so many times, that if you so much as even hear a scene from either film, you will begin to scream. Personally, I do not understand these feelings, … Continue reading Not So Traditional Christmas Films
One of the more predictable films that I have seen this year, hands down, is Last Christmas. But, just because it was predictable doesn’t mean that it wasn’t enjoyable. Written by Emma Thompson and Greg Wise and directed by Paul Feig, Last Christmas is a love letter to George Michael, if there ever was one. Look, as soon as the trailer came out, the plot … Continue reading Last Christmas (2019) : A Love Letter to George Michael
The horror film that set the tone for those to follow, the horror film that revolutionized teenage horror is none other than 1996’s Scream. Written by Kevin Williamson and directed by horror legend Wes Craven, Scream has become one of the most spoofed and most beloved horror films of the last 30 years. Scream is a meta horror film. It is a horror film about … Continue reading 90s Flashback: Scream (1996)
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
