Den of Thieves (2018)

I freely admit to being a sucker for a good bank robbery / heist / ‘cops n robbers’ flick, having previously enjoyed titles like ‘Thief’ (1981), ‘Money Train’ (1995), ‘Heat’ (1995), ‘Armored’ (2009) and the Ocean’s trilogy (2001-2007), among others. So when I first caught wind of this newest addition to the genre, I was […]

6 Days (2017)

I’m a sucker for well-crafted historical dramas or military thrillers, with titles like ‘Black Hawk Down’ (2001), ‘Munich’ (2005), or ‘Lone Survivor’ (2013), leaping instantly to mind. I remember seeing an intriguing trailer or two for this one last year, but unfortunately it’s stay on The Big Screen was short and slight, and I missed […]

The Void (2016)

As a 15 year old kid trapped in a 40 year old man’s body, you can correctly assume that I’m a child of the 1980’s. Being the movie nerd that I am, I have a certain attachment to flicks from that time period, one of the Golden Era’s of Hollywood, and there’s something about the […]

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, […]
