This movie might be a pleasant surprise. For one, it features a romance which isn’t about unrealistic showboating and over the top grandeur gestures. Rather, it’s heavily about communicating with someone you like or love and attempting to work through the kinks in your relationship. Leading to perhaps one of the most likable romantic films I’ve seen.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) While John Wick certainly isn’t something to be considered noteworthy in terms of the violence, choreography, or story, like the majority of action movies released, it is a decent way to spend almost two hours of your lifespan. Noted Actor(s) John Wick (Keanu Reeves) | Marcus (Willem Dafoe) | Viggo (Michael…
Imperial Dreams shows the struggles which come from trying to get yourself together after going to jail. For with no one wanting to hire a felon, you struggle with trying to stay out of what got you put into prison in the first place. Add in you don’t have any sort of assistance from the…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) After Take the Ten, I had a real fear that as Netflix tries to beef up the amount of original content it had, it would focus solely on quantity over quality. However, to my surprise, despite a corny title, and Maisie Williams, arguably, not having the best filmography, they have put…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Hidden Figures is a feel good movie. One that exemplifies what the term edutainment means and there ain’t a bad performance in it. However, don’t expect it to win any major awards. Trigger Warning(s): Racism (Microaggressive Depiction – No Violence) Noted Actor(s) Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) | Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) There are many ways to handle the death of a person, be it in a movie or in life and through animation, the point of view of a son, the point of view of a mother, and each finding their own way to deal with things, we are given a story…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) If you thought Gone Girl was twisted, oh you haven’t seen nothing yet. Trigger Warning(s): Rape (Multiple Scenes) | Domestic Abuse (Verbal and Physical) Noted Actor(s) Michèle (Isabelle Huppert) | Richard (Charles Berling)
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) In a sort of weird way, Kizumonogatari, thanks to us witnessing the birth of Hanekawa’s crush on Koyomi, sort of becomes a romance. Just one which features more violence than gore than your usual monster/ girl romantic movie. Trigger Warning(s): Blood (Excessive) | Gore (Body Mutilation, intestines being exposed)
Overview Once again, a coming of age deals with one losing their virginity and, as with most coming of age films featuring girls, a man much older than the girl is the one ushering her into womanhood. But something is different about The Diary of a Teenage Girl. Something talked about more below. Trigger Warning(s):…
Overview Batman vs. Robin is a decent movie which feels like a few episodes of the animated series mashed together. Director: Jay Oliva Writer: J.M. DeMatteis Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Done In truly is the type of film you want to see carefully expanded. For with it only being 7 minutes of film, and one minute of credits, it truly doesn’t feel like enough.
Overview Every fan of a cult hit wishes for their favorite show to get the proper send-off, and Veronica Mars: The Movie doesn’t just give Veronica one more case, but presents an argument for why it should be renewed like Family Guy was. Review (with Spoilers) In September it will be a decade since Veronica Mars…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) 20th Century Women is so many things at once. It is a coming of age story, a sort of mid-life crisis, a story dealing with women in the heart of the sexual revolution and the rise of feminism. All of which it does strangely well despite splitting its focus. Noted Actor(s)…
Overview Sometimes it is easy to underestimate the impact or potential stories animated films could have, especially when they seem to be made for children, but The Little Prince rivals, if not surpasses, any and all animated media you might be used to.
Thor is very much an action/ comedy, which has a dash of romance, family drama, but at the same time a sense of interdependency which makes it so each character’s role is essential for Thor to be the hero.
Overview I want you to imagine Agatha Christie, of And Then There Were None fame, and picture her writing a pseudo-western with a little less mystery than what she is known for, but a whole lot more violence and the use of the N-word. Pretty much, that would equate to what you get in The…
Overview After 50 years of struggling with a broken heart, a mother goes to find the boy snatched from her.

Both Piper and Finding Dory are bound to drive you to tears and wish the theater had a 13+ viewing of the movie available.
Overview A robot assists in the grieving process, helping someone cope with the tragic death of a significant other. Review (with Spoilers) I found out about HAL randomly, watched the first few minutes, saw the cool art style, saw robots, and figured it should be worth reviewing. Now, after watching the OVA, I feel drained…
