Film Review: ‘Deadpool 2’ Starring Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz
Heeee’s baaaack! The red-spandex wearing merc-with-a-mouth, Deadpool, has come back for a second outing in Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds reprises the titular role that he was all but destined to play with the foul-mouthed but still lovable vigilante, Wade Wilson. This is Reynolds’ third time portraying the character, though we try hard to forget about […]
Film Review: ‘Breaking In’ Starring Gabrielle Union, Billy Burke, Richard Cabral
When the most fun you have with a movie is not from the movie itself but from the audience engagement for laughing at inappropriate times for what’s transpiring on screen, there’s something wrong with your film. In the case of Breaking In, there’s quite a bit more than just one thing. Breaking In is one […]
Film Review: Marvel’s ‘Infinity War’ is Finally Here
It’s here. It’s finally here. For the past ten years, Disney/Marvel has produced eighteen feature films showcasing the likes of our favorite Marvel superheroes. Jon Favreau’s Iron Man was a surprise blockbuster in 2008 carried by a career-resurrecting performance by Robert Downey Jr. and the creative minds at Disney/Marvel (see: Kevin Feige) knew they were […]
Film Review: ‘Super Troopers 2’ Starring Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske
In early 2001, Super Troopers busted on the scene and became a cult classic in the comedy world. I was a freshman in high school and it seemed to be the the movie that everyone was talking about. For years, fans have been clamoring for a sequel, but the guys at Broken Lizard had other […]
Film Review: ‘I Feel Pretty’ Starring Amy Schumer, Michelle Williams, Emily Ratajkowski, Aidy Bryant
Who would have thought Amy Schumer could be charming? Additionally, who would have thought I’d ever type that? I surely didn’t. It’s true though. I hadn’t seen any trailers for I Feel Pretty before going into it but already didn’t have high expectations due to the risque, often-vulgar comedienne lead. From the opening sequence though, I […]
Film Review: Jon Hamm and Rosamund Pike Star in Espionage Thriller ‘Beirut’
This is the closest we’ve seen Don Draper get to playing James Bond. The film opens in early ’70s Beirut where Mason Skiles (Jon Hamm), a U.S. diplomat and expert negotiator, lives with his wife. A dispute over a young boy they’ve taken in turns into a shoot-out, and his wife is killed in the […]
Film Review: ‘Rampage’ Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman
Overall, when it comes to adapting video games into film, the ratio of good to bad is staggering. This year, we’re one for one with a faithful adaptation of Tomb Raider and now Rampage. I don’t know what it is that screenwriters and directors don’t get when it comes to creating that bridge to transition […]
Film Review: ‘A Quiet Place’ Starring John Krasinski, Emily Blunt
A Quiet Place is my kind of horror. Imagine living in a desolate world. You’re in your late thirties, maybe early forties. You’re married with three kids and living on an isolated farm in the middle of nowhere. You have no internet, no phones, and your only form of communication is a radio to signal […]
Film Review: ‘Blockers’ Starring John Cena, Leslie Mann, Ike Barinholtz
It’s not an easy subject to broach, but inevitably, parents have to talk with their kids about the birds and the bees. Some parents try to delay it for as long as possible, but eventually, everyone’s gotta learn about the whole bumping uglies bit. Many movies have approached the topic; some offer serious takes, but […]
Film Review: ‘Ready Player One’ Starring Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn
When the first trailer dropped for Ready Player One, I was incredibly intrigued by its premise and seemingly endless string of video game and pop culture references riddled throughout, not to mention none other than the likes of Steven Spielberg in the director’s chair. Therefore, I sought out the 2011 best-selling book by Ernest Cline. […]
