El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (review)
I liked it. They were able to tie up some loose ends and bring back that signature Breaking Bad style. I’d imagine most fans of the show were pleased, even if they weren’t blown away. It does nothing to take away from the show which was my main concern. Continue reading El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (review)
NBA Draft: Revisiting the class of 2013
An entire year late but today we look back at my scouting report from the 2013 NBA draft. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Continue reading NBA Draft: Revisiting the class of 2013
In the Tall Grass takes a few too many turns
In the Tall Grass has an interesting premise that seems simple enough. You get caught up in the mystery for a while but once the answers begin to be realized the story takes a bit too long to conclude. The end will leave you with something interesting to debate with friends or family though. Continue reading In the Tall Grass takes a few too many turns
Hoop is an artistic telling of a Hoop Dreams story
I went into Hoop with certain expectations and spent most of the movie feeling like the vision wasn’t being executed. However, when the final credits rolled I realized that Robert did execute his vision for the story he was telling. It was just a story you aren’t meant to understand until the very last word. Continue reading Hoop is an artistic telling of a Hoop Dreams story
The Hole in the Ground will creep you out
The Hole in the Ground is a fun movie for sure. While this is a movie where the main character makes frustrating decisions, the payoff is still there. There are some effectively creepy moments and there is very little that is predictable. Continue reading The Hole in the Ground will creep you out
Scooter: New found footage thriller
“The Three Amigoes” are popular youtubers who do challenges on their channel. They’ve been friends all of their lives and get to make money together by just being goofy online. In Scooter, they take on a challenge that is much bigger than anything they’ve done before as they will try to ride low powered scooters from Miami to New Orleans. Over 800 miles. I’m not sure they even made it out of Florida. Continue reading Scooter: New found footage thriller
I think the hype ruined Booksmart for me
While I don’t want to REALLY make the comparison I have to. Booksmart was essentially a woman led version of Superbad with smarter leads. The style of comedy, the adventure aspect, all of it. While there was more story here, that’s the best way to describe what you’re getting into. Continue reading I think the hype ruined Booksmart for me
Arctic: The Latest Man vs. Nature epic
Arctic does not have a ton of dialogue as you’d imagine. Yet Mikkelsen manages to be engaging throughout. You have some of the typical moments from these types of movies but the stakes do increase at every turn. By the end you’ll feel like you were stranded with him which means it does its job. Continue reading Arctic: The Latest Man vs. Nature epic
Brad Pitt is mostly forgettable in Ad Astra (review)
Ad Astra has a few fun moments but is mostly about a guy dealing with his issues surrounding his father. Issues he doesn’t seem to realize he has but learns over the course of the film. Not a bad movie but not a memorable one either. Continue reading Brad Pitt is mostly forgettable in Ad Astra (review)
