Film Reviews

Me before seeing 1917: Oh please, this is another movie that’s filmed in “one shot.” It’s been done before and it seems like a gimmick. I’m not impressed. Me after seeing 1917: Oh my gosh it was not a gimmick. I am so impressed.  How many movies about WWI have you seen? Probably a lot, unless…

When you have a winning formula, you tend to stick with it. So it makes sense that Deadpool 2 uses the same witty banter and nonchalant, no shits given attitude as the first movie. The movie opens with Wade AKA Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) on a job where he fails to kill his target. Later that…

Logan is one of my favorite of the X-Men movies. It’s directed by James Mangold who has helmed other films like Girl, Interrupted and Walk the Line as well as 2013’s The Wolverine. Mangold’s tendency for a dark, brooding style is definitely present in Logan. The film opens showing Logan (Hugh Jackman) as a limo…

Jojo Rabbit is proving to be one of those movies that you either love or hate and I happened to really enjoy it. I have a lot of respect for Taika Waititi. I think he’s a very solid director and a good actor. He takes on a large task and one that’s been done before…

I saw Downton Abbey in theaters with two of my friends. One is a die-hard Downton fan. The other is a casual observer who just wanted to get out of the house and hang out for the afternoon. During the movie me and the other die-hard made comments to each other and made friends with…

Here’s a disclaimer for you: Parasite was one of my most anticipated for this year. I was very excited for it and went to see it on the very first night it came out. So this is your warning: this review might be a little biased. I thought I would love it, and I did.…

Oh Will Smith. I will admit I do love him. He’s come a long way from his Fresh Prince days. When I saw the trailer for Gemini Man I remember thinking, “This could be good?” Emphasis on the question mark there. It was more of a “I hope this is good” type of thing. If…
