The Two Popes Movie Review

I have a confession: I was raised Catholic and this is a major reason why I saw The Two Popes. The second major reason I saw this movie is because it was nominated for several Golden Globes and a few Oscars. Now you know my ulterior motives so we can proceed. The Two Popes aims…

The Irishman Movie Review

You know that line in the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” that says they’d just settled their brains for a long winter’s nap? That’s how I felt when I first saw the run time for The Irishman. 3.5 hours? No thank you. When I finally decided to watch it, I felt like the characters…

Jojo Rabbit Movie Review

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…

Downton Abbey Movie Review

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…

Parasite Movie Review

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.…

Gemini Man Movie Review

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…

Hustlers Movie Review

Oh my god. Ladies and gentlemen you need to see this movie. The premise of Hustlers is simple. It’s based on a true story that was featured in New York Magazine. A group of strippers form a posse to make extra money by scamming their Wall Street clients. The story is told through the eyes…

Luce Movie Review

Luce is a mind bending thriller from director Julius Onah. I wasn’t so much on the edge of my seat as I was flat against my seat holding my breath. The twists and turns in this movie were outrageous. Onah built the pace at a painstakingly slow quiver, withholding information and dishing out false information…

The Peanut Butter Falcon Movie Review

Let’s talk about a movie I loved. It’s called The Peanut Butter Falcon and it stars Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson, and Zack Gottsagen. With a summer chock full of action movies and blockbusters (I am not complaining, I love me some Hobbs and Shaw as much as the next person), it was refreshing to watch…

After the Wedding Movie Review

After the Wedding is a remake. I’m really starting to wonder if Julianne Moore is just picking her favorite movies and saying let’s remake this and I’ll fund it. Gloria Bell? After the Wedding? Should this era be called Julianne Moore: The Remake Years? It’s a working title. I’ll say this one time, I do…
