INITIAL THOUGHTS For being more of a Batman than Superman fan, it was so refreshing to see a tonal shift for Superman that felt like you were watching a comic book on screen. Bursting with color, fun angles through the sky and during fight sequences, and true hero traits portrayed by Superman that establishes THE... Continue Reading →
F1: Brad Pitt Still A Megastar, Idris a New School Star, The Summer Blockbuster Contending For Movie Of The Year
INITIAL THOUGHTS This. This is what going to the movies is all about. You cannot often replicate the feeling of adrenaline, emotion, and triumph all in a 2.5 hour span that F1 portrayed on screen. This has star power all over. Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem leading the way of the old school, while Damson... Continue Reading →
28 YEARS LATER – A Coming Of Age Zombie Horror That Bites Hard
INITIAL THOUGHTS After waiting 18 years since 28 Weeks, and 23 years since 28 Days, the payoff and continuation of this story was worth every bit of the wait. This is not just an amazing zombie horror film, this is an amazing film outright and has real claim to clash with the other bangers of... Continue Reading →
SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE – The Biopic That Will Outshine Elvis, Bob Dylan, And That Monkey Singer Thing That Happened
Before I write about my thoughts of the trailer. Here is the link below for any that have not seen it yet. https://youtu.be/oQXdM3J33No?si=rULZAPikLLa3hsZb It feels weird saying this will be the breakout role that separates Jeremy Allen White. Not to say he isn’t already significantly respected by his peers and the industry because he is... Continue Reading →
BRING HER BACK – Pushing Physical Body Horror, Possession and Making Viewers Feel Dead Inside To The Limits
GETS BETTER BY THE VIEWING I want to start this deep dive review with the fact that I saw this movie twice within 3 days. I told two buddies I’d see it with them and ended up seeing it separately with each and even knowing what to expect the second time it still was tough... Continue Reading →
SIPPIN’ CINEMA SERIES – TAKE 5 – STRANGE DARLING: SERIAL KILLER FILM THAT ACTUALLY KEPT ME GUESSING
I went into this film basically blind, and stumbling upon a gem like this one doesn’t happen often when going in blind! I knew Kyle Gallner was in it and it was about a serial killer. But that’s it. Thought we were getting a pretty basic formula. Kyle Gallner chasing a girl or others throughout... Continue Reading →
SINNERS: Mainstream Stars Make A Vampire Horror Movie Cool Again
INITIAL THOUGHTS Wow this film fucking BANGED. A mainstream vampire horror film that focused on black culture and impact of music in the rural south? Whoever heard this idea from Ryan and also knew it would stick and be a home run deserves all the praise in the world along with him. I know this... Continue Reading →
THE ACCOUNTANT 2: Take The Good From The First and File That Return On #2
BERNTHAL - AFFLECK BROMANCE RUNS THE FILM Exactly as the header of this states, The Accountant 2 takes the relationship of Christian and Brax and makes it primarily the focal point and the train tracks the entire film runs on. Feels like a common trope to have characters with stark differences that get along for... Continue Reading →
WEAPONS: Zach Cregger’s Upcoming Magnum Opus
Zach Cregger has a lot to live up to following how wildly popular Barbarian was among the horror community. A film that took your perception of what it was going to be, flipped it on its head, and gave us a crazy concept with a fucked up dark twist to grasp onto starring Justin Long.... Continue Reading →
SIPPIN’ CINEMA SERIES – TAKE 4 – JUROR #2: HOULT TAKES CONTROL OF THE ROOM IN EASTWOOD IN COURT DRAMA
Nicholas Hoult gets my attention in almost everything he does. The Menu, Renfield, The Great, and many more add to his resume that is quickly growing and showing him as a force in cinema. Not to mention his exciting big role coming up as Hutter in Nosferatu. He really shows off his acting chops in... Continue Reading →
