Review – Hustlers

Review – Hustlers

      In the opening scene of Lorene Scafaria’s Hustlers, we are introduced to Destiny (Constance Wu), a new stripper at a high-level strip club in New York City.  For being in a loud and colorful strip club with a lot of commotion going on, this is a relatively quiet scene, as we watch as Destiny’s conservative attitude and way of dancing doesn’t get her a lot of clients, therefore not getting her a lot…

Top 5 – Awesome Movies Coming Out in September

September is one of the more interesting months of the cinematic year.  It is the month when the major fall film festivals, like Toronto, Telluride, and Venice, kick-off, officially ushering Oscar season, as well getting some fun genre films, like pre-Halloween horror flicks.  In terms of quality, however, the films can be great, awards-worthy films or can be complete disasters.  It’s never a boring month and this September looks quite interesting.  We got a few…

2019 Summer Movie Recap

2019 Summer Movie Recap

The 2019 Summer Movie Season is officially over!  Though there were a few movies I really loved that came out this summer, this was one of the more lackluster summers in recent years.  The biggest problem with this summer movie season was the blockbusters.  A lot of the big budget franchise films ended up being complete duds, which really killed the summer for me.  But the summer wasn’t a complete failure.  There were a number…

Review – Love, Antosha

Review – Love, Antosha

          The first time I saw Anton Yelchin on screen was in 2007’s Alpha Dog.  In an ensemble of with a number of young, up-and-coming talent like Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch, and Amanda Seyfried, Yelchin was one of the true standouts of the film, giving an honest performance that would immediately put him on my radar.  Watching Yelchin grow as an actor was a true treat.  He was an actor who did…

Review – Ready Or Not

Review – Ready Or Not

      “Fuckin’ rich people.”   Ready or Not is an absolute blast.  A film that looks at what is supposed to be the happiest day in ones life that actually turns into a nightmarish hell.  It’s a creepy, exciting, bloody good time with tons of humor, a great ensemble, and an absolutely insane finale. Grace (Samara Weaving), a girl who came from nothing and grew up in foster homes, is getting married to…
