Zoolander 2

Posted on February 27, 2016 by Joel Hilke

Finally somewhat reluctantly went to see Zoolander 2, the possibly unnecessary sequel to the 2001 original film. A film I thought was just ok, didn’t do well at the box office, but became a kind of cult hit over the … Continue reading →

Brooklyn

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Joel Hilke

Watched the academy award nominated film Brooklyn. This is about a young Irish woman who moves from Ireland to Brooklyn to find a better life with more opportunity. Set in 1952, this is a sweet, gentle, earnest, adorable, lovely, and … Continue reading →

Gods of Egypt

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Joel Hilke

So I went to see Gods of Egypt, the new possibly historically inaccurate retelling of somewhat inaccurate tales of the Egyptian pantheon. Oh but reviewers are going to hate this movie and, indeed, have already pre-hate it. And I’m certainly … Continue reading →

Race (2016)

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Joel Hilke

Went to see Race, the new flick about how Jessie Owens went to the 1936 Olympics and punched Hitler in the eye. Metaphorically. This is a good (but not great) movie that’s just as much about those Berlin Olympics as … Continue reading →

Risen (2016)

Posted on February 20, 2016 by Joel Hilke

Risen is the new biblical film about a roman soldier (Joseph Fiennes) who is tasked, at first, to make sure no one disturbs the tomb of the just-crucified Jesus (Pontius Pilate and the Pharasies believe his followers will steel the … Continue reading →

Cabin Fever (2016)

Posted on February 20, 2016 by Joel Hilke

Checked out the perplexingly unnecessary remake of Cabin Fever, a 14 year old movie that I don’t think anyone has thought about in 13 years and certainly only the producers thought needed remaking. Cabin Fever (the original) is an Eli … Continue reading →

Witch, The (2016)

Posted on February 18, 2016 by Joel Hilke

The Witch is a new horror movie set in 1600s New England that has been getting a ton of positive buzz for being a genuinely disturbing, eerie, and scary movie. So I went to an early showing and I big … Continue reading →

How to be Single

Posted on February 14, 2016 by Joel Hilke

Went to see How to be Single, perhaps a movie for which I was not the target demographic. Or maybe I was just grumpy, or tired, or having an existential crisis. But there were moments in this romantic comedy where … Continue reading →

Deadpool (2016)

Posted on February 11, 2016 by Joel Hilke

Went to see opening night Deadpool, the new X-Men universe superhero flick starring the wiseass antihero played by Ryan Reynolds. Putting it out there: this is a very funny bunch of tomfoolery and crass R rated silliness… and I’m sure … Continue reading →
