My thoughts and views on the movies I’ve seen. I might not always be right, but here’s what I thought!
There are some really great things about American Sniper and some incredibly tense moments that are so well crafted that I really wish that much care would’ve been given to the overall story. Clint Eastwood’s examination of American hero Chris Kyle seems to be less concerned with who he is and more concerned about his…
Set in the beautiful Florida keys and about a wealthy, privileged family of the area, Bloodline is a well crafted series from Netflix that slowly burns with story and outstanding performances all around. We’re shown in the first episode a conclusion of sorts without any explanation and the rest of the series is the story of…
Rest easy, if anyone had any reservations about Avengers: Age Of Ultron and whether it lives up to the hype or the expectations, it definitely does. If there’s one thing that Joss Whedon can do, it’s spectacle and this movie brings it in spades. There’s so much to unpack from a blockbuster like this and…
Kurt Cobain, whether he liked it or not, was the voice of a generation. In Brett Morgen’s documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck, we’re allowed never before access to Cobain’s family videos, writings, drawings and a chance to make some sense of a man whose brilliance cannot be questioned and whose suicide was a tragedy.…
When the Oscar nominations were announced this year I remember there being a bit of controversy over the Best Animated Feature category. The Lego Movie was somehow excluded from the list which made no sense because of how fun and well made it was and I also thought that How To Train Your Dragon 2…
While Whiplash isn’t perfect, it’s so close that it’s unforgettable. A story about obsession and a strive for perfection with two standout performances and dazzling camera work that brings you closer to the musical playing than I’ve seen before. There is so much to like about this movie including a finale that was the most…
The story of The Grim Sleeper is one that I’m not familiar with at all and apparently I’m not the only one. The serial killer story isn’t even all that familiar throughout the Los Angeles area where the crimes are reported to have taken place and that is one of the things explored in the…
Locke is a very easy movie to describe, it’s Tom Hardy in a car for 85 minutes, what you might not expect is how tense and mesmerizing it is and one of the best films I’ve seen this year. It seems like what should be a one man play and the movie is an absolute…
Fury falls victim to a problem that I’m finding with a lot of movies lately. The first 2/3 are compelling and fascinating with action scenes like I’ve never seen on film. Characters and motives that are clear and interesting, dialogue that conveys frustration and stakes, imagery that jumps from the screen…and then an ending that…
There are documentaries about interesting subject matter that just on their face make you want to dive in and find out more about them and then there are documentaries that feature interesting people and no matter the subject you have to follow these people to some kind of resolution. I found The Overnighters to be…
