Here are the 5 places a movie will land. A score between 9-10: OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE drop what you are doing and go watch this movie right now, an absolute legendary film. 8-9: EXCELLENT FUCKING MOVIE requires a watch ASAP. 7-8: REALLY GOOD MOVIE add this to your list immediately. 6-7: SOLID FILM it did its job of entertaining you and you are not walking away disappointed. BELOW A 6: THIS MOVIE STINKS. Tell someone you hate its good and to watch it.
OK so I have been on board with these movies since they came out. If you have been reading my reviews you know that I love SCI FI. This I think counts as SCI FI. Ya I mean talking apes in a world that is set like 100 years into the future is very SCI…
This movie is quite fun. I do not recognize any of the actors. It is like a noir, modern horror movie? Like it isn’t jumpy scary at all, in fact its not horror, it is a thriller. Sorry I am spit balling here. Ok a man visits his long time friend he has not seen…
Back to NICK CAGE. Ok I guess it is Denzel Washington and Nick Cage week. So if you read my recent review of Nick Cages “Dream Scenario” you know I feel like he is simply a ridiculous script taker and the range of ridiculousness is hilarious. Well, add another one to the list. Ok ,…
TWO DENZELS IN ONE WEEK. Forget Shark Week, its Denzel WEEK. I actually had never seen this movie. But I was in search of Denzel this week and it popped up and boom. This is really odd movie. A star studded cast. Bunch of A listers in this. It is an adaptation of an older…
I don’t know where he ranks, but Nicholas Cage is up there in terms of 1. Range 2. Amount of ridiculous roles. Like his 1 and 2 are combined. It is this unique blend of range in ridiculous roles. So many of his scripts and roles and the movies are just laughable. And yet he…
Like everyone my age, I saw this movie in Denzel Washingtons GOD MODE run from 2002-2010 where he just put out so many hits we could not keep track. This movie was sandwiched into that run. I was maybe 10-12 when I saw it. Chopped it up to “another Denzel classic”. Well I am certainly…
This movie has a lot of hype. Like, people have this as one of the best movies of the last 30 years. Uh, I think those people are insane. Ok. Let me try to give you the most realistic, simple definition of this movie, and you decide if this can possibly be AN ALL TIME…
My god. I wanted to like this movie. I really did. It fit into every narrative I currently think about the USA at the moment. I think often about how we are on a doomsday crash course right into civil war. How it is completely unavoidable. How we are naive to think we aren’t. So…
This actually was my favorite movie when I was kid. I remember the first time watching it. Where I was and just how blown away I was at the ending. My head FUCKING POPPED OFF my body. A little more subdued on the re-watch but still, fucking great ending. Again, go 90’s Kevin Spacey. This…
Ok I have broken my beef with pre 2000 movies. Kinda. The next few will be mid 90s. I had not watched this movie since I was like 12? I honestly did not even remember it enough to even know what happens. AND OH BOY WAS I HAPPY. This movie fucking rocks. This is an…
Got any book recommendations?
