Film Review: ‘Phantom Thread’ Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Lesley Manville, Vicky Krieps
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 […]
Film Review: ‘The Commuter’ Starring Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson
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 […]
Film Review: ‘Paddington 2’ Starring Ben Wishaw, Hugh Grant, Brendan Gleeson, Sally Hawkins
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. […]
Film Review: ‘All the Money in the World’ Starring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer
All the Money in the World is directed by Ridley Scott and is adapted from the 1995 book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty. Aside from a little bit of dramatization, this is the mostly true story of the 1973 kidnapping of the grandson of the richest […]
Film Review: ‘Pitch Perfect 3’ starting Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson
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, […]
Film Review: ‘Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi’ Starring Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver
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 […]
Brad’s Top Ten Films of 2017
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 […]
Film Review: Disney-Pixar’s ‘Coco’ Starring Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal, Benjamin Bratt
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 […]
