Review – American Made

Review – American Made

      American Made is a wild and crazy story that is almost too crazy to be true.  It tells the story of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise), a T.W.A pilot who is recruited by the C.I.A. to fly over South America and bring them intel.  While on his missions, he is approached by a drug cartel and asked to assist them in bringing in cocaine to America.  Barry’s life begins to spiral out of…

Review – Battle of the Sexes

Review – Battle of the Sexes

      Here’s how you know you have a great sports movie on your hands: When the movie is based on a true event yet during the climactic game or match, there a people in the theater clapping, almost as if they’ve never heard of this event ever in their life.  This is the case for Battle of the Sexes, a soaring, crowd-pleasing true story that is far more than just a run-of-the-mill sports flick….

Review – Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Review – Kingsman: The Golden Circle

      According to the Kingsman, “Manners maketh man.”  According to Hollywood, “Sequels maketh money”, which is why we have Kingsman: The Golden Circle, a mildly entertaining, yet overlong and unnecessary sequel to the 2014 hit. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, Eggsy (Taron Edgerton) and Merlin (Mark Strong) journey to the U.S. to get assistance from an allied spy organization known as the Statesman in order to stop the…

Review – mother!

Review – mother!

      I saw Darren Aronofsky’s mother! a week ago.  Usually, I am pretty good about reviewing movies right after I see them or within a couple days, but mother! was different.  This was a movie that had me thinking before, during, and after, and I am still thinking about it a week later.  I don’t exactly know what to think about this movie.  I will say that my opinion has shifted slightly, which why the…

Review – American Assassin

Review – American Assassin

      American Assassin is a mindless movie, but not your typical mindless movie.  When I say mindless, you probably think of a movie like Transformers (2007), where it requires the audience to barely use their brains because of the little to no substance in the film.  American Assassin is a movie that craves substance and wants to you to think but doesn’t require you to because it treats the audience like infants and spoon-feeds us everything…

Top 5 – Michael Keaton Movies

I love Michael Keaton, simply love him.  I loved him when I first saw him in Batman (1989) and could not be happier for his recent career resurgence.  Every movie he is in, I get excited for, and his latest film, American Assassin, doesn’t have a lot going for it, but he is in it so I will see it.  Here are my picks for the best Michael Keaton movies, in honor of American Assassin.   These movies…

Review – It

Review – It

    It is my favorite kind of horror movie in that it is a horror movie that doesn’t rely on it’s scares to be a good movie.  Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of scares in this movie, but that isn’t what warrants the high rating.  What drives It to horror excellence is the coming of age story hidden beneath the terror.  This is a movie about love, friendship and conquering your fears. In…

Top 5 – Directors Who Should Direct ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’

Top 5 – Directors Who Should Direct ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’

Yesterday, it was announced that director Colin Trevorrow is no longer directing Star Wars: Episode IX after he and Disney mutually agreed to part ways due to creative differences.  Personally, I am a big fan of this move.  I loved Trevorrow’s debut film, Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), but after the lackluster Jurassic World (2015) and the bizarre The Book of Henry (2017), I lost faith in Trevorrow as a director.  But now, the Star Wars franchise needs a new director, and…
