Movie Reviews, Old and New
Considering that the last released Pixar film, “Soul,” dealt with the most complicated and adult themes of any of the studio’s movies to date, their newest animated film, “Luca,” is a complete 360. But the simplicity of this sweet coming of age story is in some ways more beautifully realized than some of Pixar’s more […]
Read More Review: “Luca”June may not be starting off super strong as far as new streaming releases go, but I’ve got some new mini reviews for you all regardless! If you’re thinking about trying out Paramount+ to watch the new Mark Wahlberg sci-fi film “Infinite,” you might want to reconsider. And Netflix has some new mediocre but watchable […]
Read More Streaming Movie ReviewsWe’re likely all familiar with how ground-breaking Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical “Hamilton” was, but it’s safe to say that that show might not exist were it not for the success of Miranda’s first show, “In the Heights.” When “In the Heights” opened on Broadway in 2008, it entered a space predominantly inhabited by shows made […]
Read More Review: “In the Heights”“The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” opens with what is arguably the most chilling sequence of the entire series so far. It’s 1981, and paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are at the home of David Glatzel (Julian Hilliard), an eight-year-old boy who is possibly possessed. As the […]
Read More Review: “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”Happy first week of June! I’m so excited to get back into the swing of going back to the movie theater again, and am eagerly anticipating some of this summer’s big new releases, so I’m a bit behind on some of what has been recently released on streaming services. But you can find mini reviews […]

Read More Review: “Army of the Dead”With their thriller “The Woman in the Window,” director Joe Wright and writer Tracy Letts know exactly what they are doing. The references are too overt for them not to- in the opening shots, the camera moves around Anna’s (Amy Adams) sprawling and eerie New York home, moving past a television where a couple of […]
Read More Review: “The Woman in the Window” (2021)It’s been a minute since Angelina Jolie has starred in a proper adult action movie- in fact, her last one was “The Tourist” in 2010 (god, remember “The Tourist“?). But Jolie is back at it, soon to appear in Marvel’s “The Eternals,” and currently starring in writer/director Taylor Sheridan’s “Those Who Wish Me Dead.” But […]
Read More Review: “Those Who Wish Me Dead”Happy Star Wars Day! I hope you all are having a great May the Fourth. I have a few more mini reviews today of some films that just hit streaming services last Friday. “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” is a hilarious animated movie from the “Into the Spider-Verse” team that you won’t want to miss […]
Read More Streaming Movies Reviews: April, Part 2Happy May! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m so excited to return to the movie theater at the end of this month for the first time in over a year (especially since I’ll be fully vaccinated by then). In the meantime, I have some mini reviews of some movies released on streaming services […]
