The Shape of Water (2017)

I’ve been interested in this film since I heard that Writer / Director Guillermo Del Toro was passing up directing duties on the sequel to his dumb-but-fun, battle mechs-vs-monsters flick, 2013’s ‘Pacific Rim’, in favor of this far smaller ‘passion project’. Del Toro is another of those directors who’s visual panache alone will put my […]

All the Money in the World (2017)

So…apparently Kevin Spacey, an actor I had a significant degree of respect for, for many years, is a sexual predator asshole who deserves the rapidly spiraling tail-spin his career is currently experiencing. The man is a pariah and as a result, his most recent projects, particularly Netflix’ ‘House of Cards’ and this film, Ridley Scott’s […]

Bright (2017)

When I first heard about ‘Bright’, about 6 or so months ago, I wasn’t sure I was going to review it. I immediately wondered if this movie was going to be the start of Will Smith’s Video On Demand film career, following the likes of Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage, who now seem to take […]

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)

Well…’The Empire Strikes Back’ is in no danger of being unseated as my favorite film of the SW franchise. I love that movie! This newest addition to the series? I like it…a lot…I’m just not sure I love it…yet. It’s probably going to take some time and some more viewings to really solidify how I […]

Jinn (2014)

Ok, this is funny. This is my first ever case of ‘mistaken identity’, when it comes to my film reviews. I’ve had this flick waiting to be watched in my movie queue for a couple years now…just haven’t got around to it. Here I am on another lazy Sunday afternoon (the best kind) and I […]

High-Rise (2015)

Ok…THAT was messed up. And I’m not sure, at this point, if that’s a good thing…or a bad one. Here in North America, this flick received a tiny opening, from what I remember, but I do remember being intrigued by it. I knew almost nothing about it, except that it took place in a high-rise […]

Thor Ragnarok (2017)

Despite starting to go through what I can only describe as ‘superhero fatigue’…I still do like me a good Marvel flick! Even as a self-proclaimed geek, I find the sheer volume of comic book-related media floating around in Pop Culture these days INSANE! Some of it’s great, some is good and some sucks shit…luckily, […]

Nighthawks (1981)

So another quiet Sunday was upon us and I wanted to write…something. I had toyed with checking out ‘Blade Runner 2049’ again or possibly ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, but since my lady had a 3 hour long test to take and our tiny dog has been a little mopey since her invasive trip to the vet yesterday, […]

Automata (2014)

So after having just introduced my girlfriend to my recent pawn shop purchase of the superb ‘Ex Machina’ (2015) Blu ray, while also having just seen the better-then-expected ‘Blade Runner 2049’ (2017), I thought that I would stick with the ‘Machines Questioning Existence’ theme and FINALLY get around to watching 2014’s Spanish / US / […]

Only the Brave (2017)

I hope I’m wrong…but I think this film may sink like a stone at the box office. It’s just a matter of timing and attention…or lack thereof. I didn’t know about this movie’s existence till I happened on one of the trailers a couple weeks ago, and was intrigued by the stellar cast and core […]
