Movie Review: ‘Halloween’ Starting Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak
In 1978, writer/director John Carpenter released what would become an instant classic in not only the horror genre, but filmmaking in general with Halloween. With his mastery in creating a spine-tingling atmosphere, a terrifying serial killer and film icon in Michael Myers, and being combined with an iconic score that you’re sure to hear at […]

Movie Review: ‘First Man’ Starring Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy, Jason Clarke
First Man is brought to us by Academy Award-winning director Damien Chazelle (Whiplash, La La Land) and tells the true story of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon in 1969. Adapted to the big screen by Josh Singer, the film follows the events of the 2012 book of the same name […]
Movie Review: The Hate U Give starring; Amandla Stenberg, Lamar Johnson
The Hate U Give is one of those films that will probably be shown in schools in the near future. If not, it should be. It’s a powerful tale of one young woman’s struggle within today’s fractured nation. The film is an adaptation of Angie Thomas’s best-selling 2017 novel of the same name. Amandla Stenberg […]
Movie Review: Bad Times at The El Royale starring Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Jon Hamm
I really wanted to like this film. In fact, walking out of Bad Times at The El Royale, I was downright angry I didn’t like the film. Sure, there was some good in the film, but overall, writer/director Drew Goddard’s follow-up to the wonderfully-terrifying The Cabin in the Woods is an extreme letdown. One good […]

Comedy Review: Jeremy Piven Delivers The Goods at Helium
Whenever an actor or mainstream star ventures into the stand-up comedy world, the move is always met with skepticism, and Jeremy Piven’s move into the comedy world is no different. I’m very happy to report that the 3-time Emmy Winner and Golden Globe winner not only surprised me but can hold his own on the […]
Movie Review: ‘Venom’ Starring Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed
Last summer, in an unprecedented move, Sony Pictures teamed up with the already massively successful Disney/Marvel in a collaboration to create what I consider to be the best Spider-Man film to date – Spider-Man: Homecoming. After its success and holding a spot in the box office top ten for an astonishing (and yet very much […]
Movie Review: ‘A Star Is Born’ Starring Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott
A New Classic Is Born In the past, many filmmakers have been creatively successful with remakes (i.e. The Magnificent Seven, Jim Sturges’ 1960 western reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai). Some filmmakers have even been creatively successful with remakes of remakes (i.e. The Magnificent Seven, Antoine Fuqua’s 2016 update of The Magnificent Seven, Jim Sturges’ […]
