Top 5 – Josh Brolin Movies

Posted on June 28, 2018May 10, 2022 by Kevin Wozniak

Josh Brolin’s career is a fascinating one. From co-starring in The Goonies, to being a supporting character in many not-so-great flicks, to perennial Oscar contender, Brolin has become one of the most consistent, diverse, and interesting actors working today. Brolin has owned 2018, starring in Avengers Infinity War, Deadpool 2, and Sicario: Day of Soldado, which comes out this weekend. So in honor of his incredible year and his latest film, let’s take a look at the best Josh…

Top 5 – Basketball Movies

Posted on June 26, 2018May 10, 2022 by Kevin Wozniak

Basketball is a sport near and dear to my heart. I grew up playing it and watching it and continue to do so as an adult. I also think that after boxing, the sport of basketball has produced the best movies, which is what this list is dedicated to. Making this list wasn’t as easy as I thought, as there are a few really good movies that just missed the cut, but this is the…

Review – Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Posted on June 22, 2018July 30, 2018 by Kevin Wozniak

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a movie about what happens when stupid people are in charge of important tasks. Almost every decision every character makes is a terrible one, one that puts either themselves or everyone around them in even more danger than they were already just in. The result is one of the most infuriating film-going experiences I’ve had in 2018 and a new low for the Jurassic Park franchise. Fallen Kingdom picks up three years after…

Review – Incredibles 2

Posted on June 12, 2018October 8, 2018 by Kevin Wozniak

Film history has proven that sequels released more than a decade after the last film tend to not be very good. Examples of this include Godfather III (16 years after Godfather II), Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (23 years after Wall Street), Basic Instinct 2 (14 years after Basic Instinct), and Dumb and Dumber To (20 years after Dumb and Dumber). But Pixar seems to be the exception to this rule. With sequels like Toy Story 3 and Finding Dory, Pixar seems to have…

Review – Hereditary

Posted on June 6, 2018July 30, 2018 by Kevin Wozniak

Hereditary is a movie I saw back in January at the Sundance Film Festival and it is a movie that has been engrained in my mind since. Director Ari Aster has created a modern horror classic. It’s a tense, moody, atmospheric thriller with deep themes and beautiful craftsmanship. It is genuinely one of the most haunting movie experiences I have ever had and the best movie that I have seen in 2018 so…

BEST F(R)IENDS – Wiseau and Sestero Return

Posted on June 5, 2018July 30, 2018 by Kevin Wozniak

Best F(r)iends is the newest film from Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero, the two men behind the best-worst movie ever made, The Room. Best F(r)iends is directed by Justin MacGregor and was written by Sestero, who also stars in the film, along with Wiseau. The film is a four hour-long epic that was split into two parts, Volume I and Volume II, a la Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. The movie looks at Jon (Sestero), a drifter who meets Harvey (Wiseau), a…

Review – Upgrade

Posted on June 2, 2018July 30, 2018 by Kevin Wozniak

Upgrade is an unexpected triumph. I call it unexpected because the title of this movie is horrible (every time I say the title, I say it like Maya Rudolph’s character in Idiocracy, where it sounds more like “upgrayde”), and the marketing of the movie made it look like the kind of throwaway action flick we get every year: low budget, violent, minor actors, etc. But Upgrade is far more than that. Upgrade is a smart, thrilling, compelling,…

Review – Adrift

Posted on June 1, 2018July 30, 2018 by Kevin Wozniak

Here’s a brief conversation between myself and my girlfriend while watching Adrift: Girlfriend: How long is this movie? Me: Two hours. Girlfriend: How much longer do we have? Me: *looks at watch* an hour. Girlfriend: *sighs* I feel Shailene Woodley’s pain. I wasn’t in nearly as much pain watching this movie as my girlfriend was, but this brief conversation sums up a lot of how I feel about Adrift, a poorly constructed,…
