Stephen King’s IT (2017) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

The new version of Stephen King’s IT is deserving of a bit of praise. With it being a theatrical release, rather than TV miniseries, it is quite creepier. Also, the young actors are pushed beyond what the original kids were in terms of giving their character’s heart. Yet, there is the problem it disappoints as…

Death Note: Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

Let me preface this with noting the white washing of Netflix’s Death Note won’t be a pressing point. What will be is that it turned a cool, made for adults, anime into something that seems like a young adult novel adaptation. Trigger Warning(s): Use of gorey picture

Chris Brown: Welcome To My Life – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

While not a Chris Brown fan, I was aware of him when he first premiered and was into his early hits. However, like many, after the Rihanna assault, I found myself conflicted. Like with R. Kelly, as much as you may enjoy some of the musician’s music, it became hard to separate the performer from…

Naked – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

While the groundhog day concept isn’t new, one has to wonder can another production use the narrative in a funny, insightful, or heartfelt way? Well, Naked sort of tries.

The Glass Castle – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

Considering Brie Larson’s Oscar win, and how The Glass Castle seemed like Oscar bait, I was surprised it was given an August release. Add in Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, and that “Based on a True Story” tagline, I feared we would end up with something that seemed like a polish Lifetime movie. But in the…

Victor – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

A nice boy who gets into a gang, becomes an addict, but through faith is healed. Yeah, prepare yourself for a slightly edgy feel good piece. One which is of the caliber of a Lifetime original movie.

The Incredible Jessica James – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

The Incredible Jessica Jones is the type of film which definitely won’t be for everyone. Like with Girlboss, we are given a character who arguably can be narcissistic, but you can grow to love. Though I can’t guarantee with time that will be true for every last Netflix subscriber.

Atomic Blonde – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

The only difference between most action movies and Atomic Blonde is Charlize Theron has a better choreographer/ stunt double than the rest. As for the story? While it has a few twists and turns, it isn’t anything which will make this more than a one and done.

No Way To Live – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

I rented No Way To Live on Amazon thinking I was going to get some complicated 1950s interracial romance. But, let me tell you, don’t be fooled by the advertisement. We get something much more interesting.

A Life Not To Follow – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

A Life Not To Follow plays out like a book adaptation. One in which you get multiple connected stories, from the different players involved, before it all ties bind in the end. In which you are given just enough to see how all things are connected.

Wish Upon – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

If interested in Wish Upon, I want you to walk in with a post-Child’s Play, pre 2nd reboot, Chucky mindset. In that, while things are kind of graphic, they are also comical and a bit cheesy. Alongside that, I implore you to either bring a friend who gives comical commentary or go to a theater…

The Beguiled – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

Some time ago I said that the only reason I would head off to NY for a movie is if I was absolutely sure it would be worth the trip. Needless to say, I didn’t think The Beguiled will be worth it. Especially since, in a rare indie showing, it became local to me the…

Brain on Fire – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

Brain on Fire is a growth movie. Its subject matter isn’t handled strongly, but if you have followed its lead, Chloe Grace Moretz, you see growth. That is pretty much the main thing you’ll get out of this. Well, and some awareness of what is Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis.

Vixen: The Movie – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

It is hard to not be a bit of a fan of WB’s DC animation lately. Their Batman saga, outside of Killing Joke, has been quite good. So with Vixen being an unknown character to me, I wanted to check out Vixen: The Movie. Especially since it was just a little over an hour. Meaning,…
