A Quiet Place (2018) is going to be one of the best horror movies of this year, and here's why. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. As you can tell from the title, the movie is not heavy on dialogue or music, but the sound design is rich because of the amount of silence there is in the movie. The film concentrates...
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Remakes are a tricky business, always have been and always will. They have a notorious habit of either bombing horrendously, such as the infamous 2006 remake of the Wicker Man with Nicholas Cage, or soaring beyond expectations, such as The Ring, which was heavily based off a Japanese film under the s...

With Christmas break approaching quickly, family-friendly movies are in high demand. Surprisingly, my family lucked out when we accidentally rented Paddington, a PG movie about a talking bear named Paddington from Peru that traveled to London in search of a family. Paddington is a 2014 movie directed b...

Here’s a movie review I’ve been waiting to give. Kingsman: The Secret Service is one of my favorite movies of all time. I could watch it a million times and never get sick of it. I love the action, the plot and the humor. So when I heard they were making a sequel I was beyond excited and knew rig...
It Review

Like most people, on the opening night of the new movie based on Stephen King’s novel, It, I got a group of friends together and made my way to the closest theater in anticipation. Unlike others, I went in blindly. I have not read the novel nor seen the original film with the same name that came ou...

NO SPOILERS Walking into the theatre, I had no expectations; I already liked Tom Holland as Spiderman, and I was already familiar with his character. Despite this, I still found myself surprised by how much I liked the movie and how different it was from the typical superhero movie. Of course, it s...
Failure and Little Miss Sunshine

Made in 2006, Little Miss Sunshine is what every heartfelt movie strives to be and contains an original quality that every filmmaker wishes to create. What makes Little Miss Sunshine so original is its ability to mix serious issues such as divorce, bankruptcy, addiction and even suicide with a gentle...
The Grand Budapest Hotel

You're bored, and you want to watch a movie, but you don't quite know what genre or what movie you want to watch. Comedy? But not too cliche. Action? But not too... much. Romance? But not too sappy. Mystery? But not too confusing. That's what I was feeling when I decided to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel....
Dead Men Tell No Tales

The popular consensus for "Dead Men Tell No Tales" is negative. From what I understand, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have lost their luster, and audiences are tired of this seemingly neverending series. With each new movie, the ratings have been on a steady decrease. Now, according to critics,...
La La Land Wasn’t That Great

After hearing numerous spectacular reviews, I finally got around to watching La La Land--the 2016 musical written and directed by Damien Chazelle. Needless to say, I was disappointed. The movie stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a young couple with dreams in Los Angeles (wow!). La La Land (accord...
Fate of the Furious

The Fast and the Furious franchise is going to space in the next two or three movies. You heard it here first folks. The movies are getting more and more ridiculous with each and every installation. I can't even say that's a disappointing fact, sometimes a movie is just an action flick. As much as...
Inherit the Wind

So here is a something I do not do often: a movie review. Although I have done many reviews in the past, I have rarely reviewed any films. Especially not any films that were made before the 1990's. However when I saw this film, I instantly loved it. Old movies are some of my favorite things, and Inherit...
