I don’t like video game adaption films. Why? Because they’re usually badly adapted flops; They don’t follow the source material, they fall apart around the middle of the film, they’re very cliched and boring, etc. There’s a myriad of reasons as to why I avoid them. That’s why I went into the movies with very
The lights dimmed, I popped some buttered popcorn into my mouth, and the screen faded to reveal a man named “Arthur Fleck,” (Joaquin Phoenix), staring at his hollow, white matte-painted face in a shabby vanity mirror. A tear rolls from one of his eyes. He sticks his fingers into the sides of his mouth and struggles
Yellow Fever officially marks the first movie I’ve seen at my first ever film festival I’ve attended (Sonoma Film International Film Festival). Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you’re gonna say. ‘Well how can you be a film critic then if you’ve never been to a film festival?’ *Uses Italian finger gesture* One: I can—although
We’ve all heard how painfully cringe-worthy the original Fifty Shades of Grey series was. So then that meant a Fifty Shades parody AND Marlon Wayans must make for a hilarious combination—right? RIGHT? In Michael Tiddes’ flick, the plot follows Hannah Steele (Kali Hawk) interviewing millionaire-entrepreneur, Christian Black (Marlon Wayans), for her school newspaper. Flirtation leads
I never understood the hate for this movie—especially when it came out. Because of this, when I finally decided to watch the film my expectations for this flick were quite low. Directed by David O. Russell, Joy stars Jennifer Lawrence as Joy Mangano—a divorced single mom who juggles the hectic schedule of raising two children,
“Omigawwd! It was heeeelllaa funny! AHAHAHAHA” was the same statement I heard over and over again regarding Wolf of Wall Street. “Really?” I’d ask. “Yesssuh. I watched it like three times at the movies!” So that meant Martin Scorsese’s flick was a masterpiece, right? Based off Jordan Belfort’s life, Wolf of Wall Street follows Jordan
Today, Hollywood seems to be bland in movie ideas. But what if I told you that a while back, there were actually good movies afloat–especially romantic comedies? I always remembered my mom watching You’ve Got Mail back when I was a kid, and especially how she was really fond of it. Having grown up, (and
Cartoons have nearly always been considered for children no matter what the genre. So one can imagine excitement at being told there’s an exclusive film for adults, right? Directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tierman with the screenplay by Seth Rogan, the comedy flick follows the life of food items that occupy shelves at a
“The movie with the fabulous dancing?” “Ha, yeah.” “Oh, no. Sorry, we don’t have it.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the time I was forced to buy Newsies—out of desperation. I had heard of the film numerous times and knew Christian Bale was in it; it still wasn’t enough to win me over. But
I had more time this week to do another review. Figuring it was better to have a back-up review rather than struggling at the last moment to squeeze some time in, I seized the opportunity. Having recently been into Winona Ryder and hearing about this “teen classic,” I decided it was time to watch this
