Gone with the Wind (1939)

10 / 10

There isn’t much to say about Gone with the Wind that hasn’t already been said. It’s a classic that has mostly withstood the test of time. A story of love and loss in the American South during and after the Civil War. The grand sets can drop... Read the full review »

Showgirls (1995)

5 / 10

Showgirls is a horrible movie, but I find it fascinating because it’s so close to being genius. It’s like each scene is an exercise to pick apart and see how it could have worked. The Vegas excess went to the heads of the cast and crew. If Ver... Read the full review »

Fight Club (1999)

2 / 10

Fight Club is a modern classic and, for the life of me, I can’t understand why. It certainly should be interesting: quirky characters, quirky story, quirky directing and editing, but it turns out to be less than the sum of its parts. For example... Read the full review »

The Shape of Water (2017)

4 / 10

I hate to be that guy, but I didn’t care for The Shape of Water. The direction and special effects were top notch, but the fact that it won Best Picture at the Oscars puzzles me. Though Sally Hawkins does well enough in her role, Michael Shannon... Read the full review »

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

10 / 10

I have to preface this by saying that I hate most superhero movies. Plots are thin, acting is generally sub-par, and the fan-boy in-jokes get stale. But, there was something about Spider-Man: Homecoming that I found endearing. I think it’s the i... Read the full review »

Upgrade (2018)

8 / 10

Upgrade is a fairly standard sci-fi action movie. It takes the well-worn premise that technology will eventually enslave us (see 2001: A Space Odyssey or The Terminator) and presents it in a different way. The film is interesting and engaging, but... Read the full review »

Papillon (2018)

4 / 10

Based on the international best-selling autobiography, “Papillon” brings the epic story of Henri “Papillon” Charrière (Charlie Hunnam) back to the screen with a gritty and violent streak. It’s a dark and sometimes horrific tale of an in... Read the full review »

The Nun (2018)

7 / 10

After the debut of the wildly successful Conjuring franchise, Warner Bros. greenlit a series of spin-offs and prequels. We are now on the third film, The Nun (2018), which is unfortunately a film that solely relies on its prior properties to makeu... Read the full review »

THE NUN Review

The Conjuring universe is pretty popular, but is the third spin-off film good? Read the full blog post »

The Children Act (2018)

8 / 10

There are a lot of big ingredients flying around in Richard Eyre's The Children Act (2018), but that should hardly come as a surprise for fans of Ian McEwan who not only wrote the novel upon which this movie is based, but also adapted it here for... Read the full review »

THE CHILDREN ACT Review

There are a lot of big ingredients flying around in Richard Eyre's Ian McEwan adaptation 'The Children Act,' but does this well-acted Emma Thompson drama work well as one cohesive whole? Read the full blog post »
