A ★★ review of The Running Man (1987) Impressed with the relevance that this 80s cheeseball of a movie has in our current society. The colors and set designs are fun, even if the writing and story are uncomplicated. It makes a lot of sens...

A ★★ review of Good Fortune (2025) Wish I laughed more, but a fun concept. The monologues become a little preachy and blatant in the final act, even though they tackle working-class issues. Keanu Reeves' dialect choice felt either inau...

A ★★★ review of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Exploring a specific but pivotal period in Bruce Springsteen's life, this movie reminds us of the turmoil and difficulties of stardom that can happen when you start to gain recognition. Brown Eyes (Je...

A ★★★★½ review of It Was Just an Accident (2025) There is a lot of perspective shifting here that is really effective. The camera sticks to a character, and it feels like we are in their world and mind. Also, the ending is as strong and haunting as ...

Seeing a trailer for a Star Wars movie feels so strange

A ★★½ review of The Mastermind (2025) Sat on writing this review for a few days to see if this movie would grow on me but it really hasn’t. Josh O’Connor gives a strong performance but it’s eroded away by the lack of direction that his ch...

A ★★★½ review of Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) I am a firm believer that Diego Luna has never had a bad performance, and this movie keeps that trend going. Tonatiuh is also fantastic, and Jennifer Lopez plays her position well, even if it was more...

A ★★★ review of Good Boy (2025) Love how different this movie is. Overall, not what I expected compared to what I first heard about this. Indy gives a performance that I imagine some actors wish they could pull off. Some genuinely g...

A ★★★½ review of Roofman (2025) A pleasant surprise! Not as humorous as the trailer implies (I think every funny moment except one is featured in it), but emotionally strong and handles its complexity well. Tatum and Dunst have grea...

A ★½ review of Swiped (2025) Chasing after the captivating formula of The Social Network, Swiped never has the bones to reach that level. A reveal before the credits roll that the real-life protagonist of this story is still unde...

A ★★ review of Anemone (2025) I struggled to follow the story through the heavy accents. Several outdoor shots feel like something out of a Planet Earth documentary. Daniel Day-Lewis is a presence as everyone has come to expect. I...
