    This week marks and uptick in quality of films, which gives me hope for the upcoming awards season. “Arrival” starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker. I love a good and original SciFi film. It’s based on the short, “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang. Aliens land on earth and we don’t know what they…

    This week brings Doctor Strange and Trolls! It’s here, it’s finally here! My beloved Benedict Cumberbatch as a superhero! Not to mention any superhero, but the Sorcerer Supreme himself. Those not familiar with the Marvel universe may have no idea what I’m talking about or why I’m excited. Doctor Strange is one of the more…

    I truly enjoyed speaking to director Jeff Nichols for the upcoming film “Loving.” The film portrays events I would potentially not exist without, and the timing of the film’s release could not be more relevant as we draw closer and closer to the US Presidential election. As we discuss in the interview, were it not…

    This week brings one review and one review alone, “Inferno.”I will start by saying I love the book “The Da Vinci Code” when it first came out. I was obsessed with puzzles and mysteries. Did the whole running around Westminster Abby thing reliving where the plot pointed to etc. So when I found out they…

    This film is about the polar opposite of my last interview, but I had a great time chatting with Mike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn about “Trolls”

  • Keeping Up with the Joneses, Moonlight

    This week brings up “Keeping Up with the Joneses” and “Moonlight.” “Keeping Up with the Joneses” has a cast that are unquestionably talented, just not in this. Gal Gadot (our new Wonder Woman), Jon Hamm, Isla Fisher, and Zach Galifianakis star in this “comedy.” What was upsetting is it’s directed by Greg Mottola, who has made…

    This week brings “The Accountant” and “Desierto” to review. “The Accountant” was nothing spectacular, but nor was it terrible. Which is probably a sadder reflection on the films being pumped out now versus the film itself. There were considerable plot issues and editing issues, at times you’d forget a B and C plot existed.  Ben…

  • The Girl on the Train, The Birth of a Nation, American Honey

    This week brings three films.  The first was “The Girl on the Train” which I was by far the most excited for. I loved the book, it was a far from perfect book, but certainly a page turner. Unfortunately the translation to screen did not turn out so well. The suspense was stripped out of…

    This week brings the new Tim Burton film “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” and Jared Hess’s “Masterminds”. I haven’t loved Tim Burton’s last handful of films (“Frankenweenie” excluded), and while I enjoyed “Miss Peregrine” more than I have some of his others, it still felt like a student trying to imitate Tim Burton than the…
