Dolemite Is My Name is a raw, dirty comedy with some nudity and plenty of foul language. If you are going to be bothered by this don’t watch. Otherwise Rudy’s transformation and journey are full of laughs, absurd moments, and some inspirational ones as well. Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Wesley Snipes are both great in supporting roles. Continue reading Dolemite is my Name honors the late Rudy Ray Moore
Zombieland: Double Tap takes you back into a world overrun by zombies but doesn’t quite pack the comedic punch of the first. My favorite character in this one was actually Madison, played by Zoey Deutch (The Politician). Overall, it’s an enjoyable film and there is a nice bonus scene after the credits start. Continue reading Zombieland: Double Tap underwhelms
Not a lot of words in this one. Just predictions. Here’s how I think the 2019-2020 NBA season will shake out. Continue reading 2019-2020 NBA Season Preview
Fractured gets to the mystery almost immediately. You know something is off but it’s hard to judge what it is and when it started. It does a good job of giving you a hint then making you second guess. I was upset by the result at the end but I enjoyed the ride. Continue reading Fractured wastes no time getting to the mystery
Missing Link was interesting. It almost didn’t feel like a children’s movie at times and has a lot of violence, specifically gun violence. There was a political message about the elite, racism, and sexism and a very progressive moment at the end. There is also a strong message for kids though. Continue reading Missing Link almost isn’t a kids movie
The story reminded me somewhat of The Bourne Identity. One man with special skills vs. a corrupt government agency. The action scenes, especially between the Smiths Will, were reminiscent of the Bucky vs. Cap fight scenes in Winter Soldier. Overall, it was a fun action movie. Didn’t change the game but didn’t break anything either. Continue reading Gemini Man combines aspects of two of my favorite action films
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)
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 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
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
