On this, the ninth day of February, in the year of nineteen hundred and eighty eight, a young man was brought into this world. This is a man who, years down the line, would find his true calling as a movie writer, and later be known as Kevflix. That’s right, today is my birthday. So in honor of this glorious occasion, I’m going to rank the five best movies that came out in the year…

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies just sounds ridiculous. Based off the extremely popular novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies takes the classic Jane Austen novel about tangled relationships in 19th century England and throws a zombie apocalypse in the middle of it all. It is a unique twist on classical cinema and on the zombie genre, that narrow minded viewers will find stupid. The only way to watch Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is to…

Having hit a new career high with 2013’s masterful musical dramedy Inside Llewyn Davis, The Coen Brother’s come back to the comedy genre with Hail, Caesar!, a very weird, and very dry comedy that only The Coen’s could make. Hail, Caesar! takes a look at the day in the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), a Hollywood fixer for Capital Pictures in the 1950’s, who cleans up any and all issues with big names and…

Typically, February is a terrible month for movies. It is the dead zone for movies and usually, all I care about in the dreaded month is the Oscars. However, this February seems a little different, as there are quite a few movies that I am pretty excited to see. Here are five movies you should be excited for this month. 5 – The Witch (Robert Eggers) I sadly missed this film at the 2015 Sundance…

The 2016 Sundance Film Festival is officially over. I saw 22 movies at this year’s festival and I’d say overall, it was a very good festival in terms of movies. I probably could have snuck in a couple more, but I’m only human. Here are the best movies of the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. 5 – MANCHESTER BY THE SEA (Kenneth Lonergan) With so many good movies, it was tough to narrow it down to…

Sometimes when watching a movie, you just want to have fun. You don’t always need heavy drama or a great twist, you just want to laugh and have an enjoyable experience. The Fundamentals of Caring is one of the most enjoyable screenings I have had at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It is a sweet, funny, quotable road movie with a ton of heart. Paul Rudd stars as Ben, a man dealing with incredible loss…

Kevin Smith has done it again. Yoga Hosers is the second film in his True North Trilogy, following 2014’s unsettling yet brilliant Tusk, and it is a wildly inventive, insane, hilarious Canadian horror comedy that only Smith could come up with. Yoga Hosers tells the story of Colleen Collette and Colleen McKenzie (Lily-Rose Melody Depp and Harley Quinn Smith), two social-media obsessed Sophomores who work at a convenient store. One night, the Colleen’s get invited to…

I liked The Free World as two separate films. The first half of the movie is a love mystery where we find Bo (Boyd Holbrook), a recently released convict, getting involved with Doris (Kate Moss), a married woman with an abusive husband. How those two meet and what transpires between them is interesting to watch. Bo was known as an extremely violent inmate while in prison, so much so that he even put a cop into…

Let me give you a little insight into my festival life. When I am at the Sundance Film Festival, sleep is a very rare, but treasured thing. I think throughout the festival, I average four hours of sleep a night. I volunteer until around 2:00am every night and occasionally party until the sun rises. Movies here start screening as early as 8:30am, which means for me to get to a screening and get a ticket,…
