Due to this movie having a few quirks, of which may work for some and for others be a problem, we believe your enjoyment of this movie will depend on your taste.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) LGBT films are a bit of an odd bunch. There is always some coming of age or realization, element involved and for most of the dramas, there is some element of rejection. Be it by parents, friends, extended family, a first love which ends up really being an infatuation, in many…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4z7Px68ywk Overview A tedious as it goes on romantic drama which, for some ungodly reason, is two hours. Despite the trailer pretty much giving away the best moments, and everything not presented in the trailer perhaps only being entertaining for those who love pure Oscar bait.
Overview Based on Actual Events always means a sensationalized version of the truth, but when it comes to frats… how sensationalized are the events, really? Trigger Warning(s): Physical and Mental Abuse | Vomiting | Blood Review (with Spoilers) There is a certain mystique to fraternities. On one hand, they are the source of parties, they…
Overview Thanks to his mother being overwhelmed with being a single parent, her oldest son is tasked with taking care of his two younger siblings. Review (with Spoilers) I’m trying to diversify my palate because I’m starting to feel I’m becoming a bit too indifferent about what I watch and it is making it where…
When science reaches the point of making a god-like machine, will people accept it or rebel against it?
Overview A love story in which timing just wasn’t right. Review (with Spoilers) Sometimes I feel as if I really don’t get enough animated movies, that aren’t American based, on this website. For while I have nothing against the Disney or Dreamworks movies, there is something about the animated films from Asia which speak to…
Overview A short history on why being offensive shouldn’t be criminal. Trigger Warning(s): Offensive Jokes Review (with Spoilers)
Overview You’re Not You is like a well-made Lifetime movie. Review (with Spoilers) With the ALS ice bucket challenge trend dying down, it seems You’re Not You probably missed a prime opportunity to both highlight the effects of the disease, as well as maybe cash in on it. Though with famous names like Hillary Swank,…
Overview This is a very strange film to me. It is almost tedious to watch, mostly due to length, yet the performances and subject matter make it worth it. To the point that, despite me dragging my feet on finishing the movie, I’m glad I did. But whether or not such mixed emotions ultimately led…
Overview Youth is about a gentleman, currently retired, being asked to feel and perform once more. However, there is something gone, lost during his youth, which has made such a task difficult. Almost as difficult as sitting through this movie for 2 hours.
Overview Zipper probably wants to be taken seriously with it showing a boy scout becoming corrupted, but it doesn’t really go into the depths needed to be considered compelling.
A young man promises to get out the drug game for his girlfriend but ends up back in so he can save her life.
Overview Imagine Brooklyn Nine-Nine the movie, with no one actually being legit police, and it starring the guys from New Girl. Review (with Spoilers) Consider this the film starring those who you would probably never think of when it comes to getting first billing. For while Jake Johnson has done well for himself with New…
Overview The prequel to Dominion doesn’t do much to flesh out the series, but it makes for a decent movie. Review (with Spoilers) I watched Legion in hopes that some of the missing elements of Dominion, like how all the cities rose, among other topics, would be foretold. But, unfortunately, while we do get a…
Overview Learning to Drive is the type of melodrama which doesn’t demand your attention, and almost in a shallow manner asks for your sympathy but, there are still aspects of it that likely will keep you watching until the end.
Overview A couple goes to Paris for their 30th wedding anniversary and it becomes questionable if they may make it to their 31st. Trigger Warning: Emotional Abuse Review (with Spoilers) Since Moulin Rouge! I have found Jim Broadbent to be a fantastically odd actor. And while I will admit I haven’t seen every last film…
Overview The rise and fall of Gary Webb, all thanks to one exposé. Review (with Spoilers) With prominent names like Jeremy Renner, Rosemarie DeWitt, Oliver Platt, Ray Liotta, Michael Sheen and Michael K. Williams, needless to say, the film is packed with stars. All of which, may I add, do a decent job in justifying…
Overview Just Before I Go is a formulaic indie movie which brings up a lot of interesting topics it could have explored, but seemingly the film rather just skim the surface of multiple topics and move on rather than present any sort of depth to any of the issues brought up. Trigger Warning(s): Conversations on…
Overview I know what you maybe thinking, but this movie isn’t bad. In fact, while the jokes may not be strong, and it isn’t the most insightful of movies, it is actually quite enjoyable. Hell, one character may even make you cry.
Overview For those who missed the rise Farley, or want to understand the hype I Am Chris Farley won’t necessarily make you into a fan, for it doesn’t use any comedic moment he isn’t already famous for, but it will show he is definitely another genuinely good and funny guy who couldn’t handle his own…
Overview Hotel Noir may not be a movie you must see, but it is good enough to kill some time with. Review (with Spoilers) Those familiar with writer/ director Sebastian Gutierrez work know that probably the best thing about his films are the actors in them. This one contains his Carla Gugino, who has seemingly…
Overview The poetic nature of Volume I leaves for a more raw, deviantly sexual viewing experience. Trigger Warning(s): Scenes of bondage Review (with Spoilers) I’m going to say off the bat that Volume I certainly was more enjoyable than volume II, and there are various reasons. Some being story/ aesthetics wise and another reason being…
Overview Rather than be an ensemble movie about all those involved in the Selma to Montgomery March, this is but another film focused on the role of Black men as the women either play wives, girlfriends or just stay silent in the background. Trigger Warning(s): Police Brutality Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Overview After a rough breakup, a young comic has a one night stand with a nice boy. Thing is, with them not using condoms she ends up pregnant, and she is not looking to have a baby. Review (with Spoilers) After seeing Jenny Slate in House of Lies, and unfortunately in The Longest Week as…
While Now You See Me 2 does dive a bit further into the vendetta Dylan Rhodes had against Thaddeus Bradley, sometimes the film doesn’t feel worth losing 2 hours of your life.
Overview If you have seen a suspense thriller like this before, don’t expect anything new being done. Trigger Warning(s): Domestic Violence/ Violence Against Women Review (with Spoilers) When a movie gets delayed for a full year, usually that is a big warning sign when it comes to the quality of the film. Though also the…
Overview An overview of the rise, and current members, of One Direction. Review (with Spoilers) Back when I used to watch the original X-Factor these guys were on, but being that boy bands are more miss than hit, at least with my music taste, I would skip their performances. A few years later, after them…
Overview In a world in which comedic movies are often fueled by drug references and sexual innuendo, Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday may seem tame, outdated, and strictly made to appease those who need their nostalgia fix. But, if anything, it serves to show that those often neglected because their funny bone isn’t tickled by vulgarity can…
Overview What begins as an odd sort of, “I raise assassins for a living” becomes an almost coming of age tale about a boy realizing the difference between right and wrong. Which, strangely enough, all begins with a weird boy and him standing up for a chicken.
Overview The type of film which spreads its focus so thin that it becomes hard to get into the story or attached to the characters. Review (with Spoilers) With the familiar faces of Teresa Palmer, Penn Badgley, Rosario Dawson, Josh Hartnett, as well as Frank Langella, you must admit this seems like an interesting…
While Straight Outta Compton doesn’t seem like the type of film which should have just been released on VH1 or BET as a TV movie, it does lack the emotional jab you’d expect as it goes into the trials and tribulations of both the professional and personal lives of the NWA alumni.
Overview Sister Code is in no way a classic, but you can tell there was an effort made to make this film funny, about the importance of sisterhood, and about working hard for the things you want and deserve.
Preconceived Notions Let me right off the bat admit, I really thought I wasn’t going to like this movie. First off, the poster makes both Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis seem like buttholes, and the synopsis just made things seem so much worse. But, being that the blog is bound to hit a dry spell…
Between a crazy billionaire, a beautiful dispatcher, a crazy eastern European family, and one sort of failed actor, Stretch covers one crazy night.
While Stock Option has a strange title and takes some conventional routes as a romantic comedy, it has this odd charm which makes it likable.
The Question Posed Is: What Do You Want To Do With Your Life? Something Eugene constantly finds himself trying to answer throughout the film as he has a scholarship as one option and drug dealing as another.
Overview Maze Runner: Scorch Trials picks up right where the first movie left off and, as before, Thomas’ curiosity is what changes the fate of our heroes. For with everyone desperate for a reason to have hope, for themselves, as well as others, they place their faith Thomas and hope his leadership doesn’t lead to…
Overview After the loss of a child, the relationship between a man and a woman unravels to the point they feel the need to reevaluate who they are as both individuals and as a couple. Review (with Spoilers)
Between “Hello, My Name is Dorris,” “The Face of Love,” and “Grandma,” women heading into their golden age have been finding the most interesting of roles. This film starring Susan Sarandon is a nice addition to the list. It doesn’t top the aforementioned, but it is something to see.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
