Wizard World has kicked off its 2018 nationwide tour and St. Louis, Missouri was lucky enough to be the first to host the convention this year. Fans of all ages flocked to the America’s Center this past weekend to celebrate anything and everything within nerd-culture. And what a weekend it turned out to be. People […]
Phantom Thread is the story of a 1950’s dress-maker named Reynolds Woodcock, portrayed brilliantly (as always) by Daniel Day-Lewis. This is Day-Lewis’ second collaboration with director Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will be Blood) and reportedly his final role before retirement. There were rumors of him wanting to retire before he took on this film, but […]
After tackling planes in 2015’s Non-Stop, Liam Neeson is back to tackle trains in the latest entry to his action movie repertoire with The Commuter, and it’s more or less the same movie. This is Neeson’s fourth collaboration with director Jaume Collet-Serra (Run All Night and Unknown being the other two), and it’s pretty much […]
What a delightful film. Growing up, I can’t say I recall having read any of Michael Bond’s A Bear Called Paddington books, but I can’t imagine they’re any less charming than the two films that have been adapted from them. I watched 2015’s Paddington just before Paddington 2 and was enamored by its charm and […]
2017 was a great year for film and the first half of 2018 is looking remarkably good already too. After getting inspired by a couple of trailers before my recent viewing of Alexander Payne’s Downsizing (which was anything but inspiring itself), I’ve decided to make a quick list of movies that I’m anticipating this year.

Aside from a little bit of dramatization, this is the mostly true story of the 1973 kidnapping of the grandson of the richest […]
Star Wars. Back to the Future. Lord of the Rings. Pitch Perfect? Pitch, please. Pitch Perfect is a movie that never needed a sequel, let alone two. It was one of those movies that snuck into my life and surprised me. When I saw it being advertised as coming to HBO some time in 2013, […]
The Force Awakens was a colossal success for Disney/LucasFilm in 2015. It opened to record-shattering numbers and currently sits as the highest grossing movie domestically of all time at $936million (third worldwide at a little over $2billion). Being Star Wars and having that kind of success (especially after following the stigma that lingers over the […]
First and foremost, 2017 has been quite the year – not only because of the films I’m about to list, but for me personally as well. This is my first year writing anywhere outside of my mini-reviews on Facebook, so I’m very appreciative of the opportunity and want to give a big thank you to […]
Since 1995, Pixar Animations studios has been the frontrunner when it comes to quality animated films. Whether it be toys, fish, or even the emotions of a young girl as she’s growing up – Pixar, without a doubt, knows how to give life to their characters and tell a wonderful story as they embark on […]
