First things first, I’m a huge Star Wars geek. I remember the first time watching the movies (I was sick in fifth grade and watch Empire Strikes Back because the AT-ATs on the cover of the VHS tape looked cool), I’ve gone to advanced screenings, and I have so many LEGO Star Wars products thatContinue reading “Rise of Skywalker”

How to Sink a Ship on Purpose
Perhaps one of the most thrilling aspects of watching James Cameron’s 1997 “Titanic” is that it’s real. There’s no green screen, no CGI sinking. It’s all real. If you’ve ever seen photos like the one below, you should be just as amazed as I am. While watching and subsequently reviewing “Titanic” you can truly feelContinue reading “How to Sink a Ship on Purpose”
Onward
If you’re looking for a way to kill just under 2 hours and want to leave it feeling mildly fine, this is the movie for you. Onward, as mentioned in my review, is a fun little escape from reality. We get to see magic and creatures and a pari of pants. Above all we getContinue reading “Onward”
StepBrothers
Reviewing this movie was my first time seeing Step-Brothers. And frankly I’m not upset. I chose to watch it for National Sibling’s Day and I sorta wish I hadn’t. In fact, I’m struggling to even write this review. There just wasn’t much thought, I feel, on behalf of the writers. Every scene felt like theyContinue reading “StepBrothers”
The Beauty of Film
When we go to the movies, we expect a certain level of quality. We expect that the cinematographer has done their job, the Visual FX department has covered up the Starbucks cup and all other means of making the movie into what it is: a movie. But there is a time when a movie becomesContinue reading “The Beauty of Film”
Ride or Movie? Which Came First?
If you’ve been to a Disney Park or are even just a fan, you know of the Pirates of The Caribbean ride. Yet when you ask most people, they think of the movie franchise first. Everybody seems to gloss over the fact that the ride was constructed in 1967. Yes, you read that right. There’sContinue reading “Ride or Movie? Which Came First?”
To Infinity…And The Bank
The last feature review I did was for Frozen 2 and as I mentioned in that, I was pleasantly surprised. Keeping up the trend of Disney+ and Self-Isolation, I decided it was time to watch Toy Story 4. Now, before we go any further, I should point out that I love Toy Story. I grewContinue reading “To Infinity…And The Bank”
Is This Just Fantasy?
I’ve always been interested in biographical movies that tell the story in a fun way. The same goes for history and all the other less-than-exciting topics in life. When done right, these movies can convey so much more than just what happened. They show us the inside voices of the characters, the motivations of eachContinue reading “Is This Just Fantasy?”
Let It Go Into The Unknown
I have to say, when Disney first announced that there would be a sequel to Frozen, I was mildly annoyed. I mention this in my review, but the first movie was fine. It became a cultural phenomenon and spurred millions of little kids to start screaming “Let It Go”. And then, I actually watched theContinue reading “Let It Go Into The Unknown”
Are We in the Matrix?
Before I get into this blog post, I just want to say that I will be doing all I can to continue these reviews in the midst of the CO-VID19 outbreak. Luckily watching movies is a relatively solo activity and can be done within quarantine. I encourage everyone to follow directions from the CDC andContinue reading “Are We in the Matrix?”
