Movie Review: ‘The Curse of La Llorona’ Starring Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz, Patricia Velasquez
Michael Chave’s new film The Curse of La Llorona is the latest movie to be released under the umbrella of films existing within the horrifying cinematic ‘Conjuring Universe.’ While the film’s marketing was that of a standalone horror flick, it was confirmed by producers to be a part of the canon when the trailer showed […]
Movie Review: Disneynature’s PENGUINS
Nearly every April since 2011, Disneynature has released a documentary in which we follow a certain species of animal in celebration of Earth Day. There’s been African Cats, Chimpanzee, Bears, and pandas in Born in China, but this year we’re following Steve, an adorable Adélie Penguin in Disneynature’s Penguins. Penguins is directed by Alastair Fothergill […]
Movie Review: ‘High Life’ Starring Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin
When High Life begins, there’s already an ominous feel as to what’s going to happen during its 110-minute runtime. The score is haunting. The halls of this spacecraft are barren while the only sounds being heard is a baby cooing while watching flashes of television. The film cuts to Robert Pattinson outside the spacecraft as […]
Movie Review: ‘Little’ Starring Regina Hall, Issa Rae, Marsai Martin
You ever just know something’s about to happen, but you can’t help but watch? Like a friend who makes terrible dating decisions and is about to make another one. Or a Vikings fan getting ready to watch their kicker attempt a game-winning kick (sorry, Andrew). I didn’t get a great feeling about Little when I […]
Movie Review: ‘Shazam!’ Starring Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer
I have a confession to make. I’m a little burned out on superhero movies. Now, hear me out. It’s not that I don’t enjoy them. They’re still pretty entertaining, and more often than not, I’ll still go to a theater to see them before they come out on Blu Ray. But I no longer really […]
Movie Review: ‘The Best of Enemies’ Starring Taraji P. Henson, Sam Rockwell
The Best of Enemies is written and directed by first-timer Robin Bissell and stars Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell as two people on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Henson plays real-life political activist, Ann Atwater, while Rockwell portrays – you guessed it – an intolerant scumbag named CP Ellis who just so happens […]
Movie Review: ‘Pet Sematary’ Remake is Creepy Good Time
Sometimes dead is better. And, sometimes remakes actually are too. Pet Sematary remains one of Stephen King’s most troubling novels. It’s so scary and devastating because it deals with a subject that most of us are uncomfortable with, death. King’s 1983 novel troubled him so much that he almost tossed it after writing it in […]
Movie Review: Tim Burton’s DUMBO Never Truly Takes Flight
The Disney live-action remake initiative has been an interesting project that’s sparked many debates amongst me and my peers. While many have made somewhat fair arguments that these remakes are nothing more than cash grabs and nothing else, I’ve argued that advancements in technology over the years at least allows for more creative direction with […]
Movie Review: ‘The Dirt’ starring Colson Baker, Douglas Booth
The old saying a movie is never as good as the book once again holds true with The Dirt, the new Netflix film based of the best-selling autobiography of Motley Crue. While the movie doesn’t live up to the book, it’s still not all bad. There just isn’t a whole lot of good either. Let’s […]
Review: Jordan Peele’s ‘Us’ Starring Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss
In 2017, Jordan Peele surprised the hell out of the world with his first feature-length film (and one of my favorites of the year), GET OUT. Two years and one Oscar win later, audiences are clamoring for his next feature titled US which is marketed as “a new nightmare from Jordan Peele.” …and what a […]
