    When watching The Mummy, Universal Studio’s first entry in it’s Dark Universe film series, one thing kept running through my mind: I miss Brendan Fraser. I never thought those words would ever cross my mind.  However, while watching Tom Cruise run all over the screen in this incoherent mess, I kept going back to Brandan Fraser’s The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001) and thinking about how much better those movies are. The funny thing is, I’m not…

    A24 has done it again.  The best production studio in the game today has once again pushed the boundaries of cinema with It Comes at Night.  This is a truly remarkable film.  A film of relentless tension that never lets up.  My heart was racing from the opening shot and didn’t stop until I finished my fifteen minute drive home. Secured within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, Paul (Joel…

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is a movie that takes us into the mind of child.  Our main characters, George (voiced by Kevin Hart) and Harold (voiced by Thomas Middleditch) are a couple of imaginative, yet troublesome elementary students who love pranking people and writing a comic book called “Captain Underpants”.  The boys are inseparable and hang out every single moment of every single day.  However, standing in their way is Principal Krupp (voiced by…

After the mediocre Man of Steel (2013) and the abysmal double-feature of Batman v. Superman (2016) and Suicide Squad (2016), we finally have our first successful film in the DCEU with Wonder Woman.  This movie is triumph.  A game-changer that features spectacular visuals, exhilarating action, deep themes, top-notch direction, and a star-making performance, resulting in the best comic book movie since The Avengers (2012). Wonder Woman tells the story of Diana (Gal Gadot), princess of the Amazons, who is being trained to be an unconquerable…

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales marks the fifth, that’s right, FIFTH, film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.  To be honest, I am not a fan of this franchise.  I loved the original 2003 film, which was an exciting, original adventure and one of Johnny Depp’s best performances as the now legendary Captain Jack Sparrow.  However, the proceeding films all failed to muster up any of the magic from the original, causing three…

Following in the footsteps of other raunchy T.V. adaptations, like 21 Jump Street (2012) and CHiPS (2017), we get Baywatch, a funny, sexy, action-packed, at times low-brow film that is perfect for the summer. Baywatch centers around devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchanan (Dwayne Johnson) as he butts heads with brash new recruit Matt Brody (Zac Efron).  The two begin to uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay and must put aside their differences, rally the team, and…

During most movies that I see, I take notes.  I do this to remember key scenes, performances, quotes, etc.  While watching Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, there was a moment where I stopped taking notes.  Not because the movie was bad or because I got everything that I needed, but because I was so invested in the movie.  I didn’t want to miss a single moment of what was going on.  My eyes were glued to the screen…
