Rogue
I skipped Rogue last year because it was a Megan Fox action movie where she fights lions and I had better movies to watch. But then I saw review that said it’s better than you think… and then I saw … Continue reading

America: The Motion Picture
Intentionally stupid, cartoonishly gory, sarcastic, inconsistently laugh-out-loud funny, often vulgar, slightly historically inaccurate, and probably a half hour longer than it needs to be.

Parallel (2018)
Parallel is a decent idea for a movie that is funny and peppy… and then it’s neither of those things. I don’t think it did enough damage to itself to be unwatchable, but when you feel distracted and bored when … Continue reading

Good on Paper

F9: The Fast Saga
After doing a knee-jerk one year delay when Covid hit (as opposed to constantly delaying the release date like most movies did), the new Fast and the Furious movie is out now. I went to see it, despite my tenuous … Continue reading

Clara
Clara is a very frustrating movie for me… someone who doesn’t need hard sci-fi but appreciates it when its made. And for a decent amount of time, this looked exactly like that. A science-based drama – maybe hovering into the … Continue reading
