Movie Review: ‘The Girl in the Spider’s Web’ Starring Claire Foy, Sverrir Gudnason
Leave it to Hollywood to make another unnecessary film. That’s the feeling I got while watching The Girl in the Spider’s Web. It’s just not needed. The franchise adapted from Stieg Larsson’s best-selling novels has not fared as well in Hollywood, as the films have failed to bring in the big bucks that studio executives had […]
Movie Review: DR. SEUSS’ THE GRINCH Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Cameron Seely, Rashida Jones
In 1966, the Dr. Seuss-penned children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! was adapted into a half-hour television special which later became a holiday classic. For thirty-four years, it was a staple of holiday programming (and still is) and the only adaptation of the book until a live-action feature-length version of the film starring Jim […]
Movie Review: ‘Overlord’ Starring Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell, Mathilde Ollivier
Zombie Nazis. That is all. [Edit] Okay, so apparently, according to my editor, I can’t just write a five-word review. I’m sorry, I thought this was America. [Edit 2] And apparently my paycheck’s getting docked for this one. Anyways, Overlord. I remember hearing the rumors starting late last year/early this year that JJ Abrams was […]

Review: David Cross at The Pageant
By Danya Artimisi Racism, Trump, sexism, being raped (by the Virgin Mary, nonetheless), Terrorists, Republicans, Nazis, Democrats, 9-11, Catholicism, Christianity, Judaism, Atheism, Dwarfism, Immigration, and Millenials are just a handful of mentions that garnered a constant stream of laughs and applause from beginning to end. If David Cross is anything, he is consistent. Sunday night, […]

Review: Adam Sandler Delivers Laughs on Netflix Special
It’s been a long time since I could say something good about anything that Adam Sandler has done. The comedian used to be one of my favorite Saturday Night Live actors as a kid, but his schtick quickly grew staler than anything the Lunchlady cooked up. I was always his biggest critic, hating on nearly […]
Movie Review: ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ Starring Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant
Melissa McCarthy has made a nice career for herself playing a bumbling idiot in many hit comedies such as “Life of the Party,” “Tammy,” and “The Boss.” While critical bombs, these films still resided well with her fans. Perhaps McCarthy has grown tired of playing the fool, as she has struck gold in her new […]
