Overview A mystery which truly leaves you unable to fully grasp what is going on, what may happen next, and who truly is manipulating who. Trigger Warning(s): Violence Against Women Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Overview Ex-Machina seems inspired by Quantic Dream’s “Kara” Tech Demo, but with the focus on how the first round of A.I. androids were tested and made. Director & Writer: Alex Garland Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Initial Thoughts It is hard to ignore a film which has Charlize Theron once again paired with Nicolas Hoult and has alongside them, Christina Hendricks and Chloe Grace Moretz. For these actors, as a collective, alongside a synopsis about murder mystery, just leads you to wonder who plays who, who of them might be the…
Overview With a combination of dance, love, and politics, this film creates an odd mixture of the three which works perfectly. Review (with Spoilers) Though not a fan of Tom Cullen on Downton Abbey, I must admit I was curious about what happened to Freida Pinto after Slumdog Millionaire. For while I vaguely remember what…
Overview Dear White People is not as offensive as it looks, nor is it as complex as some may want it to be. Review (with Spoilers) Whenever I see a film which is either geared toward Black people or has a Black majority cast, it is always an awkward experience. Solely due to the fact…
If you’re tired of superhero movies being PG-13, meaning there is less violence and sex, and you want your hero to be an anti-hero, who is as vulgar as Seth Rogen and co., but a little less funny, this movie is for you.
Overview Though AIDS for most is a death sentence, it also can be that jolt which changes people’s lives. Trigger Warning(s): Vocal Bigotry Review (with Spoilers) I’ve been meaning to see this film for a few weeks and the first time I tried to it was sold out. Something that hasn’t happened to me in…
Overview As the world continues to scream that Black Lives Matter, we are reminded of a different aspect in the pursuit of civil rights. One dealing with marriage but not between two men, women, or those who don’t follow the gender binary. But marriage between someone white and someone who is not. Review (with Spoilers)…
Overview The Intern is a strangely crafted film. It focuses mostly on the difference of generations, that of Robert De Niro’s vs. Anne Hathaway’s, and how many issues remain between them. Yet, at the same time, it shows the beauty of when seasoned and up and coming come together and work on something, learn from…
Overview David O’Russell gathers his team again for another film with his star Jennifer Lawrence at the helm. A role she takes on quite well and perhaps shows that as iconic as she is slowly becoming with her antics off the set, perhaps she isn’t like her contemporaries and the big stars of yore. As…
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…
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…
As a family comes together, after the passing of the patriarch, drama from all their lives collide and many secrets are revealed.
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…
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.
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…
On the eve of what likely is a nuclear apocalypse, one man is faced with the decision of who he wishes to spend his final moments with.
A spoken word artist tries to escape her life through poetry, only to realize putting pen to paper isn’t enough.
Boy meets girl, but not in the way you’re used to. For there is so much that separates them. Yet, by edging fate toward a favorable outcome, there is hope that neither one will become a forgotten name in the other’s life.
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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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
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…
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…
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
Overview Pitch Perfect 2 will remind you why you fell in love with the original, and honestly, is probably one of the funniest movies released in 2015 thus far. Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Wetlands will probably be one of the most disgusting movies you may ever see, but also probably the most interesting coming of age tales you may ever see.
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.
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…
In this live-action adaption of the classic tale, CGI is used throughout to help this version stand out.
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…
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…
Combining the romantic chemistry of young adult novels, lack of inhibition, a story which feels like a 600-page book you can’t put down, you get Blue is the Warmest Color.
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…
Overview Though a strange movie, it is also one of the most compelling ones that I didn’t go to a theater to see. Review (with Spoilers) People often wonder why actors are paid millions of dollars for movies, and the reason is name recognition. This film I never heard of, but because Shia LaBeouf is…
