"You think it's gonna be an early spring?" "I'm predicting March 21st."
Well, it’s Groundhog Day… again. And you know what that means – it’s time for my annual viewing of Groundhog Day. So, I’m a little strange when it comes to movie watching. I watch at least one film per day, but I have a tendency to go years between viewings of the same film. Part of that is due to…
"I apologize for the crudity of this model. I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it."
Given that tomorrow (October 21, 2015) is the future, I knew I would have to watch the trilogy to celebrate. Unfortunately, I also knew I wouldn't have 6 hours to devote to the movies, so I decided to get a head start and watch Part I today. I always find it extremely difficult to write reviews for films I really…
“Those men took your past, don't let them steal your future.”
Franchises: whether we like them or not, we're definitely used to them. Sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots, cinematic universes - they're seemingly everywhere these days and have become a normalized, if expected, part of the cinematic landscape. And as much as some people like to bemoan the existence of franchises, many are quite good. Sequel isn't quite the dirty word that it often was only 20 years ago, But spin-off?…
“What are we gonna do? Retire?”
29 years: that's an impressive run for any film franchise, especially one that's been so consistently strong, leading the way by continually setting the bar for action movies. After eight movies in nearly 30 years, we've finally reached The Final Reckoning. The second part of a now renamed 2-parter, this is a film that may very well live up to the finality of its new name. Over the last several years, it's been rumored,…
"I'm not sure if I agree with you 100% on your police work there, Lou."
If it doesn't click upon first watch, Fargo is definitely one of those films that grows on you. The first time I saw it, I really didn't understand all of the praise it gets. It was a decent movie, but nothing all that special. However, upon each rewatch, I've found myself growing more and more fond of it. I love the look of this film…
“I promised a friend I would say hello to you today.”
A very emotional addition to the horror genre. While it does have its scary aspects, this film primarily excels due to its character-driven narrative. As I’ve mentioned in past reviews, I always love stories featuring “heroic” scientists and combining that concept with an end-of-the-world vibe is a good combination. This film has a great look to it and I especially like the post-apocalyptic cityscapes. It really reminds me of…
