IMDb’s 100 Greatest: ‘Platoon’

Ummm….. holy shit. I took the day off of work today, and after a trip to Door County I decided I would spin the wheel and see what movie I could squeeze in from my list today. The wheel decided to scar me for life and punish me for thinking I could have a peaceful […]

IMDb’s 100 Greatest: ‘Chinatown’

We almost lost me here everyone. My second spin of the wheel of IMDb’s 100 Greatest Movies of All Time almost became my last. When 1974’s ‘Chinatown’ came up as number 24, I was extremely excited at first….. Until I realized I was thinking of ‘Big Trouble in Little China’. Talk about a let-down. Instead, […]

IMdB’s 100 Greatest: An American In Paris (1951)

Fine. I’ve been missing watching movies. And not Marvel or Star Wars (although those are great too…. I’m not Scorsese), but real movies. CINEMA if you will. In order to satiate this need and also appeal to the chaos I so deeply crave, I am asking Siri to pick a number between 1 and 100. […]

‘Malignant’ Movie Review

I never know what movies are streaming vs theatrical release only anymore. I’ve been trying to find a time to go to the theater to see this movie for days, and finally I pulled up HBO Max and saw it available to stream there. I gotta say, I’m glad I didn’t have to pay $15 […]

‘Midnight Special’ Movie Review

I had been meaning to watch this movie for years now. I kept hearing about how great it was, but I never really looked into what it was about. I pretty much ended up watching this movie without knowing anything, as I don’t remember ever even seeing a trailer. If you are thinking about giving […]

‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ Movie Review

‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ is a French film directed by Céline Schiamma and starring Noémie Merlant and as a painter and Adèle Haenel as her unknowing subject. I have been really trying to get into watching more foreign films, and when I saw that this one was added to Hulu, I had to […]

‘A Quiet Place’ Movie Review

So. Aliens have invaded and your only chance of survival is keeping completely silent. Let me just tell you that the family in the front row during this movie would be the FIRST to die… ‘A Quiet Place’ is written by, directed by, and staring Jim Halp…I mean John Krasinski. I love him as an […]

‘Ready Player One’ Movie Review

Countless video game references and did I understand 90% or them? Nope. Did I enjoy myself? Yes. I have been looking forward to this movie for just about a year. Right when I heard that Steven Spielberg was directing a movie that was pure 80’s nostalgia I went to my nearest bookstore and bought the […]

‘The Greatest Showman’ Movie Review

I convinced my sister to see this movie by telling her that Zac Efron would be shirtless. She’s never been so disappointed… I’ve been looking forward to this movie since I saw the first trailer during ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. It looked sappy, over dramatic, and uplifting, so basically a perfect Christmas movie. Sadly, […]
