The Witch made its premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. I, unfortunately, was unable to see it then, which thoroughly upset me, as it was one of the more hyped films of that festival. Now, a little over a year later, I finally got to see what everyone was talking about in Park City. Had I seen The Witch at the 2015 festival, it would have been one of my favorites there. This is a…

Before even seeing Race, it already had a couple things going against it. The first is that, even though it is a sports movie, it isn’t about basketball or football or one of the major, more exciting sports. It is about track and field, a sport people only care about every four years. The second thing is that we know the ending already because it is one of the most historic moments in Olympic and…

Because of going to Sundance and being busy, I haven’t posted much about the Oscars. In fact, I didn’t even do a nomination reactions piece or anything. It was just an area that got lost in shuffle of everything else. I was pretty good on my final predictions. I missed a couple nominees here and there, but overall, I thought I did good. No real surprises in the nominations and not a lot of huge…

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…
