Ghost In The Shell (2017) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
You know, considering I watched the anime and, outside of maybe Pan, no movie with a whitewashing controversy has been good, I should have probably skipped this. Well, let me warn you so you don’t waste however much it costs in your area.
The Discovery – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
There was a time when I believed Netflix could do no wrong. Yes, some of their shows I didn’t appreciate, but they didn’t release anything which was crap. Now, I’m not saying this movie is crap but I do feel as much as Netflix is redefining what it means to be a VoD release[note]Formerly known…
Ali and Nino – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
As someone who primarily watches western media, the idea of a film which tells the history of a Muslim majority nation and shows its characters as lovers, the oppressed, and allowing us to see how they fought for their freedom, is rare. So rare I could not help myself and had to watch this. Though,…
Power Rangers – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Saban seems to have taken note of what made Marvel studios so effective with their properties and adapts their formula for the Power Rangers.
Personal Shopper – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
When it comes to limited release movies, there is always the question of if they are worth the extra cash required to see them. To go to NY to see a film like this, it almost costs as much as the actual ticket. But with it coming locally, and me being a Kristen Stewart fan,…

The Belko Experiment takes the idea of going postal to the next level but, like the phrase, you’ll be left more with memories of the violence than the story behind the violence.
Beauty and the Beast – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Beauty and the Beast may not capture the magic of the original, but the melodrama added on to fill in the missing backstories of a few characters makes this live action remake just a tinsey bit worth it.
Burning Sands – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Burning Sands is everything GOAT was hyped up to be and more. To the point that putting them in the same sentence is damn near an insult.
The Other Half – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While Maslany’s charm will keep you interested in her as an actress, it doesn’t necessarily lead you to take note of her character or the movie she is in.
Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale is perhaps the ideal movie for those who have followed the series since 2012. It features past characters, introduces a handful of new ones who easily integrate into the overall story, and it ends without pleasing for a sequel. It is simply the send off you wish more…
Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise is like reliving her books but with the added benefit of Dr. Angelou speaking and her friends and family chiming in on her story.
Audrie & Daisy – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Documentaries, usually, are not about happy topics. They are about exposing someone’s suffering, sometimes their triumphs, but rarely is the most empowering tales without the shock someone survived all they were put through. So is the case of Audrie and Daisy in which one didn’t survive all they went through.
Custody – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Custody seems more like a pilot for a brand new show than a stand alone movie. But, even with that said, it is worth checking it out.
The Salesman [Forushande] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
I always found it strange when a film is nominated for Best Foreign Film yet none of the actors are nominated for anything, it isn’t nominated for best picture, nor is best director part of the nominations. Which isn’t a setup to say this film is horrible, but more so that it definitely isn’t for…
The Assignment – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Assignment is a sad case of when a good villain is crafted for a mediocre movie.

Before I Fall – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Before I Fall is the type film which makes you want to read the book. For you can tell there was probably quite a bit cut which would have, in a rare fashion, made the movie even better.
Logan – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
If Logan is representative of where the X-Men franchise, if not Marvel, is heading, prepare for more than likable characters and sarcastic moments. You may actually end up feeling something. To the point of tears.
