Dark Phoenix

               This was my 250th consecutive week of going to the movies and I’m going to say something for perhaps the first time: This movie isn’t nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. No, it isn’t great and “it’s not that bad” isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, but people need to […]

Joker

               This is a tough one to review. For starters, don’t go into this expecting a comic book movie. If you are expecting something like Venom or Suicide Squad, you’re going to have a bad time. This is not what I was expecting because I brushed off the filmmakers’ claims that this would be a […]

Miss Bala

               Miss Bala is a remake of the 2011 Mexican film with the same title (“bala” is Spanish for “bullet”….not sure why they didn’t translate the title after going through the trouble of remaking the entire goddamn movie for Americans). The original film is a brutal, bleak, depressing R-rated drama. The trailers for this new […]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

               This movie is bullshit. Boring, meandering, self-indulgent bullshit. I am a huge fan of Tarantino’s movies. Reservoir Dogs and From Dusk till Dawn are among my favorite movies of all time and most of his other work is damn solid. I had The Hateful Eight as the best movie of 2015. Once Upon a […]

Avengers: Endgame

              Here is the deal with spoilers. The first few paragraphs are spoiler-free, and then I will write SPOILER ALERT. Somebody once asked me if that meant that I’m about to start writing spoilers. That guy is an idiot. Don’t be like that guy.               I saw Iron Man in a theater when it came out back […]

47 Meters Down: Uncaged

             I was busy for a few weeks, but I’ve returned to tell you all about a movie that you probably won’t see anyway. You’re welcome. First of all, how the fuck is this not called 48 Meters Down? I mean, honestly, that shit writes itself. Regardless, I don’t remember much about the first movie. I […]

Winchester

               This is a film that doesn’t live up to its subject matter. Winchester is inspired by the real-life Sarah Winchester, the heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune who was also as looney as a toon. In real life, Sarah became convinced that the ghosts of those killed by her company’s rifles were after her […]

A Quiet Place

               This review is delayed and the reasons for the delay pretty much encapsulate my feelings for this film. I saw this over a week ago and left the theater without much to say. With a really bad or good movie, I leave the theater with jokes or comments already in mind, but it’s the […]

Unsane

               I want to start by saying that I do like this movie because I have to do some bitching before I get into the positives. I was fully prepared to hate this because it is the first (I think) theatrically-released movie that was filmed completely on an iPhone. That fucking pisses me off. It’s […]

Unfriended: Dark Web

               Seriously, what the fuck? Why is there an Unfriended 2? I can’t believe that I’m even saying “Unfriended 2.” I didn’t even know that this was in production and just heard of it a few weeks ago when I saw the trailer. That was probably the most frightening trailer that I’ve ever seen, as […]
