Movie Review: RENFIELD Starring Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage, Awkwafina
If you grew up in the ’90s, surely you saw at least one action film starring Nicolas Cage. After receiving an Oscar for best actor in Leaving Las Vegas, Cage became one of Hollywood’s leading men, starring in a string of hits such as The Rock, Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds, and one of […]
Television Review: Ted Lasso S3E5 “Signs”
“If you put your energy into the things you truly love, the universe puts its thing back into you. You’re welcome.” Oh, Zava. You are so wise. Well, as any fan of a sports team can attest (currently writing this as the Cardinals have just lost six of their last seven games), every season has […]
Movie Review: TETRIS Starring Taron Egerton, Toby Jones, Sofya Lebedeva
Let’s face it: video game-to-film adaptations don’t have the best track record. For every Sonic or Detective Pikachu, there are a half-dozen adaptations that are best left unremembered. Super Mario Bros., Battleship, every Uwe Boll movie ever made…the list goes on. Some recent TV series have given us hope (The Last of Us was absolutely […]
Movie Review: COCAINE BEAR Starring Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery
You ever see a majestic bear and think to yourself, “I wonder what would happen if we gave a bear a massive amount of cocaine?” Well, thanks to a gentleman named Andrew C Thornton II, you don’t have to wonder. This actually happened in 1985, and as it turns out, the bear died. The unfortunate […]
Movie Review: 80 FOR BRADY Starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Sally Field
I am not a Tom Brady fan. Now don’t get me wrong, I respect the guy. He’s almost certainly the GOAT quarterback (apologies to you Montana enthusiasts; Joe may have won every Super Bowl he went to, but he only led his team to four), and his accomplishments are unmatched. But as a former St. […]
Movie Review: KNOCK AT THE CABIN Starring Dave Bautista, Jonathon Groff
Director M. Night Shyamalan started his filmmaking career with two surefire classic films, ‘The Sixth Sense’ and ‘Unbreakable.’ Throw in the thriller ‘Signs’ for good measure and you had one of the most promising Hollywood directors in quite some time. Unfortunately, his string of good films would end and film viewers would have to endure […]
Review: PAMELA, A LOVE STORY Starring Pamela Anderson
Netflix has the market cornered when it comes to interesting and intriguing documentaries and the newest, a documentary on and told by Anderson herself, is no different. For years, Anderson was the epitome of the blonde bombshell. Anyone my age, likely fantasized about Anderson, and snagged one of her Playboy’s to show their friends. For […]
LIVING Starring Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood, Alex Sharp, Tom Burke
Do you remember the movie Independence Day? Of course you do. Massive summer blockbuster that launched Will Smith into superstardom, right? Came out just a few years ago? Fun fact: after this summer, the release of Independence Day will be closer in history to the moon landings than to the present day. Why did I […]
MISSING Starring Storm Reid, Joaquim de Almeida, Ken Leung
The next digital screen flick told entirely from the POV of computer screens, text messages, facetime, and other social media, Missing, is out today exclusively in theaters. The film is directed by Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick. Much in the vein of 2018’s Searching (which is also the same creative team behind the newest film), and 2021’s Profile, we see this […]
