No Time to Die was not how I expected Daniel Craig to end his run as James Bond. I thought this movie would be epic, on the same level as Casino Royale and Skyfall, yet left the theater angrier than sad. This movie’s bloated run time was filled with so much nonsense, and for a … More No Time to Die (2021)
Halloween Kills was the type of entertainment we needed during a global pandemic, locked away in our homes far away from social gatherings. This film was highly anticipated by fans and moviegoers, who ended up waiting an extra year before a release. That gave everyone more time to build up a dream scenario of what … More Halloween Kills (2021)
On the Waterfront won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1954. It pains me to say it, but I did not like this movie despite its high praise from critics and audiences. This film currently holds an 8.1/10 rating on IMDb and is considered one of Marlon Brando’s best performances, one where he took … More On the Waterfront (1954)
This blog is winding down its seventh year of existence. In that time, we’ve covered over 1700 films and recently started to tackle all the Best Picture winners. Somehow, we never got around to reviewing the best film from 1991, The Silence of the Lambs. I can tell you that I’ve seen this film at … More The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Crash came out in 2004 and, after a ridiculous Oscar marketing campaign, walked away with the statue for Best Picture in early 2005. This movie shocked the world and beat out one of the most incredible classes of nominees. Crash is loved and hated by so many that it regularly appears at the top of … More Crash (2004)
Hollywood tends to go to the well time and time again when the United States of America enters into a new military conflict. There are thousands of angles to cover with war movies, like heroic moments, brilliant strategy moves, and the lingering effects of those entrenched in some messed up engagements. The Hurt Locker continues … More The Hurt Locker (2008)
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)
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)
Please stop me if you heard this one… Sean Bean walks onto a movie set… That opening was pretty lame, but so was the outcome for Don’t Say a Word, which starred Bean as the bad guy. His target this time around is not a king or the king’s army. Instead, it’s a girl in … More Don’t Say a Word (2001)
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)
