Third Person – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview In a 3 in 1 story, we explore the complications of three relationships. Review (with Spoilers) With a cast boasting Liam Neeson, Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde, as well as Adrien Brody, in starring roles, it is hard to not be intrigued what this combination would do. Though with a low box office tally, as…

Dirty Grandpa – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview If you thought Betty White was offensively funny, if you thought Seth Rogen was one of the best in balancing crude humor with the pangs which come from growing older, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Trigger Warning(s): Bestiality (1 Picture), Blood (cuts and broken nose), drinking (recreational), drug use (onscreen – smoking only), homophobic…

The Zero Theorem – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Beneath a strange sci-fi exterior lies a wealth of social commentary which will remind you of the distance you put between yourself and your negative emotions. Review (with Spoilers) Previous to this film, the only production I have seen of Terry Gilliam was The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus which was very trippy. So with the knowledge…

The World of Kanako – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

As shown through perhaps the most Trigger Warning(s) noted on this site, this movie is a bit messed up. For in the pursuit of a father trying to find his daughter, he does anything, and everything, not just to find her, but cope with his mental illnesses.

The Family – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

If you know Robert De Niro is playing a mobster, then why would you not see the movie? Add on Dianna Agron, who seemingly is the only one to really break away from Glee successfully, and then Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones and a mob story which doesn’t take itself too seriously, and really what…

13th – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

In many ways, 13TH is like some of the posts you see on social media in which a blogger tries to break down how racism in America works. But rather than names only known on the internet, the sources of their material are trying to educate you the best they can.

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview After 9 years the world is invited back into Sin City, and with very little having changed over 9 years, besides who is playing who, it makes for an odd viewing experience. Review (with Spoilers) When Sin City came out back in 2005, it was a major hit. It had a lot of the…

Maleficent – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview When a man’s ambition leads to the betrayal of a young woman heart, you find yourself within the remixed story of Sleeping Beauty known as Maleficent. Review (with Spoilers) Like a good majority of people, I found the idea of Angelina Jolie as a Disney villain exciting, and Maleficent, without question, fits all the…

Horns – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview With the death of one town’s little angel comes the rise of a demon, one who exposes everyone’s inner most sinful thoughts. Trigger Warning(s): Rape scene Review (with Spoilers) Between the ever versatile Daniel Radcliffe, Juno Temple who is just in the strangest of movies, and even Sabrina Carpenter from Girl Meets World, you…

Lovelace – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

With Juno Temple, who has been in about three reviews now, and Amanda Seyfried in this film, I put aside my apprehension of watching a biopic about a porn actress and decided to watch this. Low and behold they weren’t the only recognizable faces for Peter Sarsgaard, who I remember solely for Garden State, but also…

Starrkeisha’s Scary Mini Movie! – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview It’s that time of the year where horror themed movies and episodes come out in masse and it isn’t exclusive to TV and movies. Even YouTube. Review (with Spoilers) Thanks to one of the react videos I learned of Starrkeisha and not since Got 2B Real was having regular airings have I found myself…

The Last Five Years – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The Last Five Years is the type of film which doesn’t have broad mainstream appeal, but for those who love Broadway-styled musicals on the big screen, this film is certainly for you. Review (with Spoilers) – Below

Happy Christmas – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview After a bad breakup, a young woman goes to live with her brother in Chicago for a while. Review (with Spoilers) Not since Drinking Buddies (which I’m so mad I don’t have the review to anymore – I really liked the movie) have I seen an Anna Kendrick film and this saddens me in such…

Life After Beth – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview In this zombie comedy, a young man’s girlfriend comes back to life and while she at first seems normal, she degrades into a functional zombie. Review (with Spoilers) I can’t say exactly what is the appeal of Aubrey Plaza, and yet when I see her name attached to something it makes me want to…

The Voices – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview A young man, whose best friends are his pets, decides he is going to be socially active and ask out a girl from accounting. Leading to a fun night which goes horribly wrong, and leads to him not making the best decisions from that night on. Review (with Spoilers) – Below

Spectre – Overview/ Review (With Spoilers)

Bond once again is back, but with more oversight than ever, can he remain capable of doing what needs to be done to prevent hundreds, if not thousands, of lives from being destroyed? Well, continue on below to find out.

The Lobster – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview If you want a weird indie film above romance, this one is for you. It features a single man living in a world where you can be arrested for being single, and have 45 days at a location to find someone, or else you become an animal. Which, of course, leads to many either…

L'Enfant d'en haut (Sister) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The complexity of family is played on screen and throughout the film, you watch one do what it takes to be loved, as the other seems almost indifferent at times. Review (with Spoilers) After seeing Blue is the Warmest Color (or Colour) I thought I should look for other films Lea Seydoux did, and…

The Grand Budapest Hotel – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview A story, within a story, within a story, of a young man’s eccentric father figure who taught him everything he knows. Review (with Spoilers) Let it be noted I have only seen Darjeeling Limited and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou when it comes to Wes Anderson’s movies and each one contains this weird…

God Help The Girl – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview As the summer of 2014 comes to an end, one last coming of age story is released to top the season off. Review (with Spoilers) After Plush, I must admit the idea of Emily Browning playing the role of a musician wasn’t a horrible idea. Especially since Skins alumni Hannah Murrah and Olly Alexander…

Legend – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview It’s a romance, it’s a gangster film, it slightly a comedy, all wrapped up in a film which is a tad bit too long, but still very much entertaining. Trigger Warning(s): Implied Rape & Domestic Violence

Barefoot – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Imagine a Cinderella/ Rapunzel inspired film in which there are no animal friends, or evil sisters, just a wicked mother, and a prince who helps turn the would-be princess’ life around. Trigger Warning(s): Mental Illness depictions Review (with Spoilers) Despite not reviewing a lot of Evan Rachel Wood productions, I must say that I…

Summer in February – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview A period drama in which a woman decides between slightly boring but dependable, and a talented, slightly erratic, artist. Trigger Warning(s): Scene of attempted rape Review (with Spoilers) It has been almost a year since I have last seen an Emily Browning movie, and while I could have certainly watched Pompei, I didn’t want…

Plush – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

The draw of Plush is Emily Browning and Dawn Olivieri, from House of Lies. This is despite Emily Browning being more miss than hit with the most recent titles I’ve seen her in, and with me not being very familiar with Olivieri’s work outside her role in House of Lies. Still, a fan is there…

King Cobra – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The young Sean Lockhart aka the famous Brent Corrigan goes from a nobody to one of the most recognizable names in gay porn. But, issues arise once he doesn’t feel like he is being paid what he is worth. Review (with Spoilers) To be honest, I’m kind of unsure why I decided to watch…

Neighbors 2 – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is not only less funny than the original Neighbors but loses a lot of its heart as it attempts to introduce new characters. Rating TV Viewing Trigger Warning(s): Vomiting Characters Worth Noting Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) | Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) | Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) | Shelby (Chloe Grace…

Neighbors – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview As with most Seth Rogen movies, the comedy is about the oddness of close male relationships, jackass style violence, and somewhere amongst that is character development. Review (with Spoilers) Whenever Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg come together, usually magic happens. The only exception being The Guilt Trip, and maybe The Watch as well. Otherwise,…

Floyd Norman: An Animated Life – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Representation matters and as Viola Davis said, though more geared toward women of color, the only thing which separates people of color, or in this case Black people, from everyone else is opportunity. But in Floyd’s case what separates him from everyone else wasn’t just opportunity but hard work. Which, into his 80s, is…

The Interview – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Seth Rogen once again finds himself trying to find the proper balance between jokes and serious situations, with varying degrees of success. Review (with Spoilers) – Below Characters & Story Dave Skylark (James Franco) is one of the top media personalities around, however, his producer Aaron (Seth Rogen) looks around and while he is…
