Movie Review: A Good Person, starring Florence Pugh, Morgan Freeman
Florence Pugh can do no wrong. For those of you who may live under a rock, Pugh has had standout performance after standout performance the last few years. Whether it be in the uneven, ‘Don’t Worry Darling,’ the also uneven ‘Fighting with My Family,’ the twisted ‘Midsommar,’ or ‘Oppenheimer,’ Pugh is on fire. With A […]
Movie Review: ‘Angel Has Fallen’ Starring Gerard Butler, Piper Perabo, Morgan Freeman
Remember when you were a kid and you’d play out various fantasy scenarios of you saving the world? Nevermind the various plot holes or implausible events that occurred, you were a hero, dammit, and nothing could stop you from getting that ticker-tape parade. If you can relate to that paragraph and cringe at the very […]
Movie Review: ‘The Nutcracker and the Four Realms’ Starring Mackenzie Foy, Keira Knightley, Morgan Freeman
Disney’s latest film, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, is a gorgeous adaptation of the Tchaikovsky ballet (itself adapted from the story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann). Unfortunately, it never manages to craft a compelling story or characters to match the breathtaking visuals. Clara (Mackenzie Foy) is a young girl who, along with […]

Movie Review: ‘Lucy’ Starring Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman
Don’t be fooled by the trailer for Lucy, the latest film from director Luc Besson. It looks like a scifi, action thriller; yet what it really is, is a mean-spirited, unexciting train wreck. Scarlett Johansson stars as Lucy. One of my big problems with the film is that we are introduced to Lucy at the […]

“Yesterday Dr. Will Caster Was Only Human.” Chronologically, we have The Dark Knight Rises, Moneyball, Inception, The Dark Knight, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Italian Job, Insomnia, Memento.
