I gave Breach a blind rent since I was optimistic for well-produced movies over the same rough time period that Hollywood was finally able to give us Tenet and Greenland. But, sadly, this is one of those movies where you … Continue reading
Greenland is a terrible title for a low-expectation Gerard Butler disaster movie… that turned out to be better than I (or probably anyone) expected. The flick is out now on overpriced early rental and, presumably, theatrical release. I caught it … Continue reading
The drama about Tenet’s release at theaters and now, finally, on streaming is greater, and more comprehensible, than the movie itself. Well, it finally did come to streaming and I finally did buy it (instead *gasp* of waiting 20 days … Continue reading
I’d prepped for the movie Mank by rewatching Citizen Kane, having not seen it since college. But it took me a few tries to get into this new film on Netflix… but it is a David Fincher movie and I’ve … Continue reading

To Your Last Death is a weird amalgam of genres and styles… and not a bad one at that. For me, the biggest turn off was its animation style… it’s kind of a vaguely animated motion comic with a similar … Continue reading
Disney+ dropped a new flick called Godmothered which is remarkably similar to their own film Enchanted. Enchanted was a better, funnier, and more romantic film. And putting on my overthinker hat, much better at the very similar high concept. … Continue reading
