If you’ve never heard of this movie, then you’re not alone. I had (very reluctantly) planned to see The War with Grandpa yesterday but I checked the theater listings desperately hoping to find something else to watch. Lo and behold, this was playing. I had never read a word about it, never saw a […]
It was slim pickings at the theater this week, leaving me choosing between Kajillionaire and a documentary about BTS. In retrospect, I made a poor choice and may been closer to the target audience for a movie about Korean pop music than this pile of pretentious nonsense. Writer/director Miranda July is a darling of […]
Freaky may be the most fun that I’ve had at the movies this year. That may not be saying much in 2020, but this is still a damn fun horror/comedy and that is a difficult genre blend to pull off. Thanks largely to strong performances and clever writing, Freaky manages to be both one […]
Crime movies in the late 90s-early 2000s were weird. Every young director wanted to be the next Tarantino, characters almost exclusively communicated through obscure pop culture references and a movie wasn’t really cool unless its scenes were out of order. The Gentlemen is a throwback to that time. For director Guy Richie, this is […]
Ready or Not is a freaking blast and easily one of my favorite movies of the year. That’s especially impressive considering that this kind of thing is hard to pull off. This is a thriller/comedy and that is a tough balance to strike; usually it devolves into just being a comedy with thriller elements. […]
I estimate that approximately 80% of modern life is just lying about how much you’re laughing out loud. But do you remember the last time that something made you legitimately laugh? Not a fake, texting lol, but legitimately made you laugh out loud? And maybe you heard that same joke again months or maybe […]
As a connoisseur of cinematic trainwrecks, I have really been looking forward to this film. For the uninitiated, The Disaster Artist is the true story of the making of one of the most notoriously awful movies ever made: The Room. I fucking love The Room. I have probably watched it more than a dozen […]
The person that schedules movies at Garden State Plaza sucks at their job. This was a filler week for me, there was nothing I particularly wanted to see and nothing I felt obligated to see. I just needed to see something. I try to go to showtimes between 7:30 – 8:30, as then I […]
I love horror movies and I particularly love slasher movies. When I was a kid, slasher movies dominated the horror genre, but they are pretty rare these days. In the 3+ years that I have been going to the movies every week, I have not seen a single slasher movie in a theater as […]
