I was hesitant to see Ad Astra. I saw the trailer before several films and couldn’t really determine what it was about. So, it wasn’t a priority. Then, I had two friends say something about the film: one raved about it and the other asked what the hell it was about. Turns out Ad Astra is a beautifully shot film about daddy issues, which is … Continue reading Ad Astra (2019)
Jordan Peele’s follow up to 2017’s Get Out is one that shows the promise that he has as a filmmaker. Us, although it has some story issues, is enjoyable. Us follows the Wilson family on their summer getaway to Santa Cruz. It is there that Adelaide Wilson’s past haunts her and, soon, haunts her family. Lupita Nyong’O gives a phenomenal performance as the matriarch of … Continue reading Us (2019)
The film Happy Death Day was surprisingly good. I remember thinking that the concept was silly, but, upon seeing the film, I found that it was executed perfectly. I absolutely loved it. So, I went into Happy Death Day 2U with pretty solid expectations. And, I’ll tell you what: it met every single one of them and then some. Happy Death Day 2U is much … Continue reading Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
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 best way I can possibly describe this film is: good and solid. From the story to the acting to the directing, those are the two words that apply most. SPOILERS AHEAD The film sets a tense tone right from the very beginning before we even see the creatures that are doing the hunting. The lack of music during this opening scene greatly helps to … Continue reading A Quiet Place (2018)
This is one of the dumbest, most ridiculous films I have ever seen, and I love the absolute shit out of it. There’s a reason that it gained a cult following after its release. It’s silly, bright, and one of the most “1980s” films that you will ever see. For those of you that haven’t seen this obvious masterpiece, some background: Geena Davis stars as … Continue reading Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)
If you know me at all, then you know that one of my all-time favorite films is Jurassic Park. I love this movie with nearly all of my heart. My love for it is never ending. Now, even though I love this film, that does not mean that I can’t see its flaws or the flaws of the characters. The character we will focus on … Continue reading John Hammond is Actually Horrible. Here’s 3 Reasons Why.
“A blade runner must pursue and try to terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.” Talk about a neo-noir film. Not that I’m angry about it. I thought that it was fascinating how well this science fiction film paid homage to film noir’s of the 1940s and 1950s. It was obvious, but was folded … Continue reading 97. Blade Runner (1982)
