I’m so confused as to what in the actual hell I just watched. The Happytime Murders is a movie that makes zero sense. It makes no sense in it’s tone, it makes no sense in it’s logic, it makes no sense that it was made. It was truly one of the most mind-boggling film-going experiences I’ve had in 2018. And you’re probably thinking, “Kevin, it’s a movie with puppets, why are you thinking so hard about…

Crazy Rich Asians is one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen in 2018. It’s a fun, funny, exciting, heart-warming movie about culture, family, and the power of love. Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) is an NYU economics professor, happily dating the seemingly normal Nick Young (Henry Golding). When Nick invites Rachel to Singapore for his best friends wedding, Rachel quickly finds out that Nick is part of a real estate empire…

Mark Wahlberg is one of my favorite actors. He isn’t necessarily the “best” actor, making some dreadful films (*coughMaxPaynecoughHappening*, but a good Wahlberg film is usually a great film. He has grown over the years as an actor, showing he can do action, comedy, or heavy Oscar projects too. This weekend, Wahlberg teams up with director Peter Berg for the fourth time in Mile 22, an action flick I am genuinely excited for. So in honor…

Spike Lee burst on to the cinematic scene in the late 80’s and immediately became a name to be reckoned with. With his brash style and socially conscience films, Lee produced some masterful films, like Do the Right Thing, which is an American masterpiece, and Malcolm X, a searing biopic about the civil rights leader. Lee kicked off the 2000’s with one to the most underrated films of this millennium, 25th Hour, and it…

This is one of the strongest months Netflix has had all year. I could have made a list of ten or fifteen movies, that’s how many good ones are coming.

Here are my picks for the best movies coming to Netflix in August. Check…

The final month of summer is here! Crazy to think that summer is already over. It seems like a week ago we were watching Infinity War. But, we’re here and August looks to go out with a bang. This is an incredibly diverse month, with everything from giant sharks to Winnie the Pooh, and we get our first legitimate Oscar contender dropping this month from a director who I’m dying to see be great again. Here…

The Mission: Impossible franchise is Tom Cruise’s franchise. Not only does Cruise star in the films, but he’s produces each film in the series and handpicks the directors for each film, usually a different one each time. No actor has ever had this much power on franchise in cinematic history. What having this much power has done is allow Cruise to showcase how absolutely insane he is. Notorious for doing his own stunts, Cruise…

The Mission: Impossible franchise is one of the greatest franchises in cinematic history. Is that a bit of a hyperbolic statement? Not if you’ve seen these movies. Since it’s start over 20 years ago, the franchise has only gotten better, with only a slight hiccup early on. This is a franchise that only ups itself every movie. It also solidifies the fact that Tom Cruise is the greatest movie star of our time. This week, the latest entry…

Walking out of The Equalizer 2, I had a feeling that I hadn’t felt in a long, long time. It’s a feeling that I don’t like and it’s a feeling that I knew would come eventually, but one I wasn’t prepared. It was the feeling of disappointment. You might be thinking, “what do you mean you haven’t been disappointed in a movie in awhile?” That’s not the disappointment I’m talking about. I…

I could argue that Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of my lifetime and it would be a strong argument. Since as long as I can remember, Washington has been one of my favorite actors, consistently turning out great performance after great performance in movies from all genres, from Oscar nominated dramas to entertaining action flicks. Though he’s given plenty of great performances in a ton of great movies, the five on this list are…
