There are over 1700 movie reviews on this blog. I’d say the majority of the time, I complain about how slow-paced movies are not for me and my scores usually reflect those feelings. No Country for Old Men will definitely be an exception to the rule. I’ve seen this movie once in my life and … More No Country for Old Men (2007)
Soul was another 2020 summer blockbuster that got pushed to the end of the calendar year. Originally slated as a theatre release, Soul found its way to Disney+ on Christmas Day. Joe (Jamie Foxx) is a talented music teacher who is also an amazing jazz piano player. He is just waiting to catch a break … More Soul (2020)
My wife had previously watched The Holiday Calendar when it was released in 2018. She recommended that we watch it together because it seems like the kind of movie I would enjoy. She was right. Abby Sutton is a photographer with a lame job as Santa’s helper. She dreams of opening her own place and … More The Holiday Calendar (2018)
It is okay if you think I am a sucker for the obvious, especially when it comes to romantic comedies. Last year Netflix provided me with one of my favourite original movies, The Knight Before Christmas. It has always amazed me how writers try to mesh two characters from different eras into a modern story. … More The Knight Before Christmas (2019)
When it comes to holiday movies, you can’t get any more cornball than Christmas Wedding Planner. Kelsey (Jocelyn Hudon) is planning the wedding of the Christmas Season, which also happens to be the first event of her new business. The stress of the holidays, the fact that the bride, Emily (Rebecca Dalton), is family, and … More Christmas Wedding Planner (2017)
When my wife suggested that we spend the entire month watching Christmas themed movies, I was very skeptical about some of these stories. Then again, some movies are meant to surprise. I was under the impression that Christmas Inheritance was going to be the same old song and dance. A rich heiress is allowed to … More Christmas Inheritance (2017)
I’ve always admired the history of the United States. If I had to pick an area that most fascinated me, it would be the Presidency. John F. Kennedy became the 35th President of the United States in January 1960. When asked who my favourite historical person was, I always say it was Kennedy. Just because … More Parkland (2013)
The argument could be made that the film A Few Good Men, starring Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, would be considered the greatest military courtroom drama. In the second place, I would love to nominate the Rules of Engagement. Call me crazy, but this is one of my favourite Samuel L. Jackson roles. Gary Pierce … More Rules of Engagement (2000)
The Game came out in 1997, which means I’ve had over two decades to deconstruct this movie time and time again. Even viewing this crazy story today, I still don’t quite understand the finer details of it all. As a fan of Michael Douglas’s career, the only thing I learnt from this particular role is … More The Game (1997)
It is hard to create a compelling drama on an airplane. The environment is very tight, and there isn’t much room to move and perform. Those shortcomings didn’t stop Wes Craven from giving us another thrill ride. Rachel McAdams is Lisa, a hotel manager, who is on a flight with a good looking guy named … More Red Eye (2005)
