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.
The Madame in Black (Svarta Madam) – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
While Madame in Black gives you the creeps with its score and sound effects, the characters presented you are given so little on that it is hard to care if they die. Disclaimer: I was given a link by Writer/ Director Jarno Lee Vinsencius to see this movie.
Girls Trip – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Without question, Girls Trip is the funniest movie I have ever seen PERIOD. All thanks to, not necessarily the established stars, per se, but Tiffany Haddish.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
At its heart, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a cheesy love story wrapped up in an overly reliant on CGI action film. The kind which really makes it seem Luc Besson isn’t capable of producing another classic.
Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Kizumonogatari ends more so with a whimper than a roar. For while the fight scenes are quite epic, and the ecchi we are used to is there, something is missing. Of which I can only believe is its heart.
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.
To The Bone – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
To The Bones makes it so you officially can’t say Lily Collins is living off her father’s name anymore. For she proves herself as an actress just as capable of being a romantic lead as someone whose story can be emotionally heavy and heartbreaking.
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…
Spiderman: Homecoming – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Sony, as Fox hopefully one day will do with the X-Men franchise, has given into the House of Mouse and let their property into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that, we finally are given the Spiderman we deserve. Albeit one with the PG-13 humor of most Marvel movies, but this is a Spiderman for a…
Sex Doll – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
If you are expecting a touching love story or harrowing tale, prepare to be as disappointed as I was.
Check It – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
There is this unfortunate need to compare films of marginalized people. Not to say one is better than the other, all the time, but because many are so used to just having that one shining star it is hard not to compare. With Kiki, I compared that to Paris is Burning and I feel the…
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…
Okja – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Okja, at its heart, is more so about the food industry and animal rights than about a child and her dear pet.
Baby Driver – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
I don’t know about you, but that Rolling Stone quote “Baby Driver is beyond F***ing awesome” was not what made me wanna see this. If anything, it was a red flag. However, the romance between Baby and Debbie seemed cute, and the car scenes seemed beyond what we recently saw from The Fate of The…
You Get Me – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
You Get Me isn’t as bad as you may have assumed. However, it will likely end up just another random title on Netflix in time.
Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
What hooks you as being a look into the Gawker v. Hulk Hogan case evolves into a warning message. A very familiar one not just about the elites bullying the press, but how Donald Trump is poison to the American democracy.
Resident Evil: Vendetta – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Resident Evil: Vendetta shows why the long-running franchise, while respected for longevity, is always met with skepticism.
