Review: Nope
Jordan Peele, man. The guy’s got skills. Jordan Peele’s Nope further solidifies that the guy is one hell of a filmmaker. Peele has such a keen eye for detail, such a distinct vision for images. He really is a filmmaker of sights and sounds. His films really do have an aura around them that is…

The Throwbacks: “The Dark Knight Rises” 10 Years Later
By Christian DiMartino I was reminded this morning that The Dark Knight Rises is having its 10th anniversary on July 20th. I hardly get the chance to write about film anniversaries because by the time it’s brought to my attention, I miss the boat. This is one I’ve been itching to write about though so…

Review: Red Notice
Red Notice stars three of the hottest people on the planet in what is probably going to be the start of a new Netflix franchise. The film was a smash on the streaming service and is among Netflix’s most watched films. I’m a few weeks late to the party, but I caught up with it…

My bond with… Bond: A View to a Kill (1985)
I’m not sure if I’ve ever discussed this on this page, but for the last 15 years, I have been a big fan of the James Bond series. I started watching them as a nine year old and even though some aren’t so great, they are usually at least pretty entertaining. I remember how proud…

Golden Globes 2020 Predictions: Hopefully, They’ll Get it Right
By Christian DiMartino The Golden Globes, when you think about it, are pretty much the drunken cousin of the Academy Awards. Everyone in attendance is usually pretty loaded, the speeches are usually pretty interesting and/or… well, let’s just say, drunken. Yet for those of us for keep up with award season, we know that in…

The Decade in Review Part II- The Overrated, the Underrated, and yada yada
By Christian DiMartino Let’s take a further dive into the movies of the past decade, shall we? I mean, we have 10 years worth of movies. Why the hell not? The term “overrated” is one I use lightly. Because often times, I can see why people may love a movie more than I do. They…

The Decade in Review- Part I: The Great, the Horrible, and so on
By Christian DiMartino A lot can happen in a year. A lot can change in a year. So try 10 years, and thus, here I am delivering unto you, a decade in review. A lot has certainly changed for me in 10 years. Yet for this, I am of course here to focus on the movies…

“I Sometimes Wish I’d Never Been Born at All!”: Final Oscar Predictions and Preferences
By Christian DiMartino The Oscars are on Sunday, and normally I’d be all in. But this time, the end can’t come any sooner. I am sick to death of griping about this fairly weak list of Best Picture nominees and all of the other mistakes that that have been made. And bad mistakes… they’ve made…

“Happy Death Day 2U” Review: “Groundhog Day” formula still worth a damn
By Christian DiMartino The Groundhog Day formula is one of those things that might always be interesting, especially depending on what you do with it. Of course I’m referring to the Harold Ramis classic in which Bill Murray’s Phil repeatedly lives Groundhog Day over and over again until he gets the day right. Many films since have…

“The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” Review: Enough laughs to LE-GO around
By Christian DiMartino I have been slacking in my movie reviewing. To further, I have been slacking in my movie watching. The weather around here in Indiana has been dreary, and to say the least, a lot of the time I just have not been feeling it. My motivation is missing. However, I am trying…
