          Eat Brains Love is an absurdly silly zombie movie with a lot of cool ideas.  At times it felt like the film was trying to subvert the zombie genre as a whole.  At other times, the film had ideas that felt forced and underdeveloped.  The result is an enjoyable mixed bag. Jake (Jake Cannavale) is an uninspired stoner barely making it through high school.  Amanda (Angelique Rivera) is one of the…

          The Beach House is a horror movie that puts us right in the characters shoes.  A horror movie that only reveals what is happening when the characters discover what is happening.  It’s creepy, it’s eerie, and it’s constantly suspenseful as we try to figure out what is happening before our characters do.  How good these kind of movies are depends on how good the finale is.  Was the final reveal worth…

          The Wave is like The Hangover mixed with Crank on psychedelic drugs.  A movie about trying to figure out how and why things happened and how and why things are happening.  There were about a dozen times while watching this movie where I audibly asked, “what the hell is going on?”  There’s never a dull moment here and I was hooked the entire time. Insurance lawyer Frank (Justin Long) is a working stiff living…

        Jumbo is based on a true story about a woman who falls in love with a tilt-a-whirl ride at the amusement park she works at.  Sounds like a rather absurd concept that should belong in the same category as Quentin Dupieux’s 2010 absurd horror-comedy, Rubber, which looks at a tire that kills people through telepathy.  But writer/director Zoé Wittock didn’t want to make an absurd comedy.  She was focused on making an…

          ESPN completed airing their documentary series The Last Dance, a ten-part series focusing on the 1998 Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan.  Growing up a Bulls fan in the Chicago-land area all my life and watching this dynasty as a kid, this documentary was right up my alley.  I was excited to see the behind-the-curtain conversations and happenings of the 1998 Bulls and learn things I didn’t know before. The Last…

          Land of Little Rivers is a documentary that looks at the sport of fly fishing and to be completely honest, I knew little to nothing about fly fishing before going into this film.  I’ve seen it in movies and T.V. shows, I know it involved some sort of rod and that you did it standing in the water, but that was really it. Watching Land of Little Rivers was really an eye-opening experience. …
