Underwater is the first movie I have seen of the new year. This means that, despite being mostly unengaging, Underwater is my favorite movie of 2020 so far! I have a feeling that won’t last long. Since 2008 brought Twilight to theatres everywhere, Kristen Stewart has been a punching bag for lazy jokes across the …
Who would have thought that a movie based on a novel that came out over 150 years ago could feel so relevant? When you have Greta Gerwig behind the camera, anything is possible! Coming in to this film, I recognized a bias that I feared might prevent me from enjoying it. I really struggle watching …

After I saw The Hurricane Heist in 2018, I thought NO WAY could you add something else to a hurricane that would be more ridiculous. Then I saw the trailer for Crawl and, for one brief moment, I thought I might be wrong. Hurricanes and alligators sounds like the most perfect, most ridiculous combination. Unfortunately, …

The third live-action remake of an animated classic to be released in the last 4 months. This one, of course, boasts the most impressive cast of these remakes …

“A world without The Beatles is a world that is infinitely worse.” Truer words have never been spoken. This infinitely worse world becomes a reality in the new movie, Yesterday, brought to life by Danny Boyle (Steve Jobs, 127 Hours) and the minds of Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Bridget Jones’s Diary) and Jack Barth. During …

Three years after the original movie, Max, Duke, and the rest of the gang return for The Secret Life of Pets 2. Starring the voice talents of Patton Oswalt, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Eric Stonestreet, the movie plays like the pilot episode for Secret Life of Pets: The Series. Whether or not that’s a …
Directed by Simon Kinberg, Dark Phoenix is the twelfth installment in the X-Men film franchise. But it’s the fourth film in the rebooted series. So it’s kind of like it it’s the fourth installment. Wait, does Deadpool count? Maybe this is only the eleventh. I don’t know. This series is confusing. Continuing the prequel series, …
As soon as I saw that first trailer and Ma asked me not to let her drink alone, I knew that I couldn’t. I have a confession. I love bad movies. Not necessarily movies with bad acting and unrealistic CGI and nonsensical plot points, though those can be fun too. I love movies that are …

I saw the movie premiere of Booksmart back in March when I attended the South By Southwest Film Festival. Although I loved it, I was concerned that I was basking in the glow of being at the world premiere with the director and stars in attendance (humble brag). At the very least, I knew that …
