Movie Review: BLINK TWICE, Starring Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie
Zoë Kravitz directorial debut is nothing short of phenomenal. Kravitz new film, Blink Twice, channels the same vibes as Jordan Peele’s masterpiece Get Out. If you feel uncomfortable watching the film, yet enjoy it at the same time, don’t feel bad, that’s the point. In Blink Twice, Kravitz tackles gender inequality, White Privilege, #MeToo, and […]
Movie Review: ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’, starring; Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon
I’ll start by saying, I absolutely loved the very first two Ghostbuster films. They still hold up pretty well, nearly 40 years later. It’s a shame I can’t say the same for the newest Ghostbusters film, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. That seems to be the trend for the franchise lately. The gender-flipping redo was cute, but […]
Movie Review: ‘Road House’, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor McGregor
While the original ‘Road House’ is far from a classic film, it’s still hailed as a fun, ridiculous action movie, that was perfect for the 80’s. Decades later, Hollywood decided to give the film a much unneeded remake. Just like the original, this version features a ridiculous, paper-thin plot, but the outcome is still a […]
GIF Review: ReviewSTL Movie Chat
The timing of the GIF (pronounced with a hard G) of Detective Cole Phelps from the underappreciated Rockstar game LA NOIRE was impeccable. I couldn’t help but involuntarily chortle at the image as Kevin doubted my previous statement. It was then I realized that for a mere second of time, Kevin had complete control of […]
Review: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2022) on Netflix
Another reboot of an iconic franchise hits Netflix today, seeing the return of classic horror-villain Leatherface in David Blue Garcia’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Existing as a pseudo-sequel-reboot, the film opens up after almost 50 years since the original, where we saw the “final girl” Sally (played by Marilyn Burns) barely escaping the wrath of Leatherface. It’s […]

Review: ‘Before I Fall’ Starring Zoey Deutch, Halston Sage, Cynthy Wu
Have you ever thought of two of your favorite movies and wondered what it would be like to combine them into one? Before I Fall would be the result of the equation if you combined the 1993 Bill Murray classic Groundhog Day and Tina Fey’s 2004 gem Mean Girls. Unfortunately this film doesn’t deserve to […]
Review: ‘Get Out’ Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford
It’s been a while since I’ve felt this uncomfortable leaving a movie. Make no mistake about it, Get Out (the directorial debut of comedian Jordan Peele) sets a new standard for modern horror films. While there are some funny moments, the laughs are scarce; this is a film that will be sure to leave audiences shocked and speechless Alison […]
Review: ‘A United Kingdom’ Starring David Oyelowo, Rosamund Pike
“No man is free who is not master of himself.” And with those words, Sir Seretse Khama put in motion a turn of events that eventually re-shaped the state of Southern Africa. Heir to the throne of the Bamangwato people residing in Bechuanaland (modern-day Botswana), Seretse’s (David Oyelowo) efforts to lead his people in the […]
Movie Review: ‘Focus’ Starring Will Smith, Margot Robbie
Heist movies have been among the more highly revered genres for decades and it seems unlikely that it will stop anytime soon. In most cases, the audience finds themselves rooting for the person(s) committing the often elaborate heist in the hopes that they may get to walk off into the sunset thus granting a payoff […]
