The first rule of movie reviews… is you don’t give away spoilers. Now that we got that out of the way let’s talk about Fight Club, one of the 1990’s late great films. If you don’t believe me, just look up the statistics, they won’t lie. Currently, Fight Club is the 11th highest rated movie … More Fight Club (1999)
If memory serves correctly, when The Lincoln Lawyer was released in 2011, I was there on opening weekend. I remember thoroughly enjoying this drama about a lawyer who takes on the wrong client. Recently, I introduced my wife to the guy who runs his operations out of the back seat of a Lincoln. Matthew McConaughey … More Lincoln Lawyer (2011)
It has been no secret that I enjoy watching Britt Robertson movies, so there was no objection when my wife suggested we watch Avalon High. Besides enjoying the lead, I like the fact this was another telling of the legend of King Arthur. As far as I know, I’ve seen most of the significant productions … More Avalon High (2010)
Broken Arrow may be considered a guilty pleasure of mine, although I watch the movie once a year. I don’t have any particular reason why I just enjoy this movie. The best I could come up with is this is the classic 1990’s action I grew up with. It has been said a handful of … More Broken Arrow (1996)
It is well known within the film industry that Backdraft is considered the most celebrated film about firefighters. In the second place, a few notches below should be Ladder 49. Since 2001 TV had flooded the audiences with shows centred around the firehouse like Rescue Me and Chicago Fire, to name a few, but there … More Ladder 49 (2004)
It’s been 20 years since the first time I watched Frequency. I have seen it a bunch of times since then but sat down recently to make my wife watch it. Although she ended up not a huge fan, I still enjoyed it. Initially, I liked the film because Dennis Quaid’s character Frank Sullivan is … More Frequency (2000)
Pan’s Labyrinth has been on my watch list when I decided to challenge myself to watch all the movies from the IMDb Top 250 list. This drama/fantasy movie is on the list, and as of this, writing currently sits at #142. At first glance, there was probably no way I would have been interested in … More Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
(In 2015, I was in a monthly film club with fellow bloggers. Together we published seven group reviews. Recently I discovered that those posts are gone. When I dug into the archives, I found my contributions. Here they are.) Snowpiercer came out in late 2013 and was on my watch list because everyone was praising … More Snowpiercer (2013)
Florence Foster Jenkins came out in 2016. We skipped the movie during its theatre run because I didn’t think this story was for me. Turns out, I was entirely right. In case you didn’t know, Meryl Streep (Florance Foster Jenkins) was nominated for two Oscars with this performance. I understand this story is based on … More Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)
I vaguely remembered Brooklyn’s Finest when I watched it upon initial release in 2009. Since then, I have seen it two more times, and each time I was left wondering what drew me to watch it another time. The first thing that I like about the film is the setting, Brooklyn. I also really like … More Brooklyn’s Finest (2009)
