Review: Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Beguiled’ is a Powerhouse Adaptation
July 4, 2017In less than 20 years, and with five feature films under her belt, filmmaker Sofia Coppola has amassed a rather small but powerful slate of motion pictures. Small though it is, her filmography is a charged batch of feminist expression that tells the world she isn’t ready to unleash her next expression until she is […]

All Eyez on Me Review
July 4, 2017Tupac Shakur was someone who I never listened to but had heard of who he was and his popularity as an artist after his death, therefore I had no idea of the detailing of the events of his career. I’d say I was the ideal target audience for All Eyez on Me as well as […]

THE BIG SICK (2017)
July 4, 2017Greetings again from the darkness. Those of us who tend to avoid Hollywood Romantic Comedies honestly have nothing against them in theory (no really, it’s true). The problems with the genre stem from (years of) cringe-inducing clichés, story structure re-treads, and inane dialogue – all of which is usually accompanied by acting that comes across […]

21st Century’s Biggest Failures – Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
July 4, 2017It seems that with every passing generation, people find more and more unique ways to create absolute monstrosities known as “films”.

The Mummy (2017) Review
July 4, 2017You know, sometimes I complain about a movie being lazy with poor screenwriting, bad execution, not so great editing, etc. But this time, with the newest iteration of The Mummy, this is a movie that’s trying too hard. It’s trying to be a Tom Cruise action movie, while also being a comedy action adventure, while still […]

THE WOMEN’S BALCONY (2017)
July 4, 2017Greetings again from the darkness. Religious conflict is not often the source of cinematic comedy, but this Israeli film from director Emil Ben-Shimon and writer Shlomit Nehama provides many laughs to go along with its commentary on religious traditions and the power of women. It’s tempting to say the film kicks off with bar mitzvah […]

47 METERS DOWN (2017)
July 4, 2017Greetings again from the darkness. Beach movies have long been a ‘Rite of Summer’. Going back to the 1960’s there was light-hearted frolicking in Where the Boys Are, Beach Blanket Bingo, and some Elvis flicks from the era. Of course everything changed in 1975 when Steven Spielberg scared us out of the water with his […]
