The Review blog for the overthinker and the underthinker
There’s something about old Hollywood films that feels wholesome and fun. These nostalgic films are what birthed the modern film industry, and although musicals are still relatively prevalent, films like Singin’ In the Rain (or any film starring Gene Kelly) have essentially died off. La La Land, directed and written by Damien Chazelle, is a […]
Read More La La Land (Full Review)Last year, Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu landed the Academy Award for Best Director for the film Birdman. It was well deserved. This year, Iñarritu has reloaded with another stellar cast, and after watching his newest film The Revenant, it is clear this talented director is no fluke. Loosely based on actual events, The Revenant stars […]

Read More MY Top 10 Movies of 2015I consider myself a fan of Quentin Tarantino.

But 2007’s Death Proof, his only film I flat out despise, also showed me that the films by the stylistic director […]
Read More The Hateful Eight (Full Review)I have always been a fan of Star Wars since the days of sitting down with my Dad to watch the original trilogy. I am not, however, one of the members of the angry majority who think the Star Wars prequels are the worst things to ever happen to cinema. There were many things to […]
Read More Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Spoiler Free Review)No one knows how to get you in your feelings like Pixar.

Read More Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur (Full Review)SECRET IN THEIR EYES Who said Holiday films have to be bright and cheerful? In Secret in Their Eyes, Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) stars as an FBI agent obsessed with finding the rapist and murderer of his partner’s (Julia Roberts) daughter.

Read More Secret In Their Eyes/The Night Before ReviewsRemember that twelve round Mayweather/Pacquiao fight so many of us found to be a dud, because by the end both fighters looked like they’d barely taken a slap to the face? Rocky movies might have had a lot to do with those gripes. In movies, fights involve bloodied noses and swollen faces. But these brutal, […]
Read More Creed (Full Review)All good things must come to an end. And in the case of this teen novel series turned film franchise, it’s that time. As a fan of the book series, I have been pleased with the movies as a whole. Hunger Games was a solid adaptation that launched the career of Jennifer Lawrence. Catching Fire […]
