Yet another ‘swing and a miss’ by Sony studios, Bloodshot starring Vin Diesel, is a high octane flop. Stealing themes and nuances from several successful sci-fi/superhero franchises, this film feels as Frankenstein’s Monster as its leading character. It’s a Matrix-Wolverine-RoboCop-Terminator hybrid that never fully decides what it wants to be. I had pretty low expectations…
Knives Out written and directed by Rian Johnson is the surprise hit of the year that I wasn’t expecting. Filled with intelligent writing and great characters, it has become one of my favorite films of 2019. Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, and Christopher Plummer make up the All-Star cast…
Ford V Ferrari is a car lover’s fantasy, but it’s also so much more than that. With an engaging story and an interesting cast of characters, this is an experience that all cinema lovers will enjoy. Going into the screening, I had the preconceived notion that this film would just be loud cars and gearhead…
With quite easily the strangest premise of the year, Jojo Rabbit is an absolute delight. Set in Germany during the last few weeks of World War II, the story follows a young Nazi supporter named Jojo as he aspires to become a soldier in the war with the help of his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler….
Within the first few minutes, this film grabs you by the back of your head and keeps you entranced upon the gaze of Joaquin Phoenix’s decent into madness. Widely considered one of the most anticipated films of 2019, Joker does not disappoint. It is a hauntingly beautiful film about Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a working…
The newest installment to the Tarantino anthology, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood feels like Quentin’s love letter to classic Hollywood. The film follows Rick Dalton, (Leonardo DiCaprio) a TV actor desperately trying to keep his head above water to not become a has-been, and his best friend, errand boy, stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad…
A waking nightmare cloaked in sunshine, flower crowns and psychedelics. Ari Aster’s sophomore follow up to his haunting breakout film Hereditary, is like the yang to its predecessor’s yin. Midsommar doesn’t rely on horror tropes to grip its viewers to the edge of their seats. It’s a slow burn kind of film that continually becomes…
It’s no secret that 2017 was an outstanding year for horror and genre films, a year which culminated in Academy awards for genre films Get Out and The Shape of Water. A Quiet Place looks to keep that momentum going as it is the first truly great horror film of 2018. Packed with as much…
Skrrt! Baby Driver is an absolute adrenaline rush, take a Lyft to see this or play Mario Kart afterward because it’ll leave you wanting tear up the road. I absolutely loved Edgar Wright’s (Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim) latest film as it turned out to deliver not only the thrilling caper flick I expected, but also…
The long awaited fourth installment of the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) Wonder Woman hits the theaters this weekend and the lead up to it comes with a lot of anticipation.
