Movie Review: The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic

Movie Review: The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic

  The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic is one of the most unique and interesting movies of 2022. It is a captivating experience putting us front and center into the experience of a blind and handicapped man who goes on a journey to meet the person he loves in person for the first time. It is a smart, sweet, tense, raw, and beautiful film. Jakko (Petri Poikolainen) is blind and paralyzed…

Movie Review: Thor Love and Thunder

Movie Review: Thor Love and Thunder

  I have not had a more frustrating experience at the movies in 2022 than I had with Thor Love and Thunder, the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What made the film so frustrating was that it brought the MCU back to a place that it had not been in for what feels like forever but the film was made with such little passion and focus that it ended up not being a…

We’ve seen great films from all genres and all budgets while also getting some excellent performances. …

Movie Review: Marcel the Shell With Shoes On

Movie Review: Marcel the Shell With Shoes On

  The summer movie season is synonymous with big characters. Just this summer alone we got the likes of Doctor Strange, Maverick, Buzz Lightyear, and Elvis Presley on the big screen, characters whose popularity and stature can barely fit on screen. But possibly the best character of summer 2022 is someone we have never met before and someone who is far from a giant. His name is Marcel. He is a soft-spoken seashell with pink…

2022 SXSW Movie Review: Public African Toilet, Nothing Lasts Forever

2022 SXSW Movie Review: Public African Toilet, Nothing Lasts Forever

My reviews of Public African Toilet and Nothing Lasts Forever from the 2022 SXSW Film Festival.     PUBLIC AFRICAN TOILET Kofi Ofosu-Yeboah’s stunning directorial debut Public Toilet Africa (Amansa tiafi) is a crime film set in Ghana but is a crime film we rarely see nowadays. A mesmerizing, vibe-heavy, slow-burning film that is just as much about the crime at hand as it is about the place it is set and the people who live in it….

Movie Review: Top Gun: Maverick

Movie Review: Top Gun: Maverick

    Top Gun: Maverick is one of those rare sequels that surpasses its predecessor in every way imaginable. That isn’t a slight on Tony Scott’s 1986 high-flying bro-down that has since become a seminal piece of 80s cinema, it’s just that everything in Top Gun: Maverick is taken to new levels. The action is more dynamic and intense, the performances are better, the filmmaking is tighter, the themes are stronger, and the emotions are…

Movie Review: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Movie Review: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

  There are a lot of arguments out there that Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a machine just churning out movies. That their movies are just a product of an assembly line and that they all look and feel the same. There are movies in this 28-movie, four-show cinematic universe that fit this, but it isn’t the case for all of them. My favorite movies in the MCU are the movies that have…

2022 NFL Draft – Movie Edition

2022 NFL Draft – Movie Edition

Kevflix has always been a website about movies, with the occasional dabble into some TV. But my first love before getting into writing about movies was sports and it is something I am still very passionate about. Since I can remember, I’ve always loved sports.  I have my favorites to play and watch, but I don’t discriminate against any sport.  Whether something as popular as basketball or a sport so random it might not even…

Movie Review: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Movie Review: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

  The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, or Massive Talent as the advertisements now call it, and what I will be calling it throughout this review because The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is an obnoxiously long title, is a movie that wants to be a love letter to Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage. The Oscar-winning actor was at one time of the biggest movie stars in the world, starring in blockbuster box office hits and…
