Review: The Good Nurse
By Christian DiMartino Tobias Lindholm’s The Good Nurse is a generically directed film with a compelling story that I found myself caught up in. From a filmmaking, storytelling standpoint, I could’ve pictured this being made for Lifetime in the 1990s if it weren’t for two key elements: Academy Award winners Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne.…

Review: The Gray Man
Netflix reportedly dropped $200 million on Anthony and Joe Russo’s The Gray Man. This is puzzling, considering the fact that the movie barely had any sort of theatrical window (which thee Russo’s, who have the 2nd highest grossing movie ever, apparently don’t care about). So, how do they profit off of it? It’s also puzzling…

Knowing what a year it’s been for movies (if you’ve looked for the best ones, you’ve found them), it wouldn’t come as any…

Review: Project Power
1/2 By Christian DiMartino Project Power takes place in a world in which people are able to purchase a drug that, for five minutes, gives you an incredible power. Not sure what my power would be, but the power I had watching the film was the power to stay awake. I did not take a pill,…

Review: The Do-Over
By Christian DiMartino I’m a week late in reviewing Adam Sandler’s latest disaster, The Do-Over. But it’s a Netflix movie, so does it really matter? The world has realized now that the old, talented Sandler is gone. Dead and gone. And with that, we must also acknowledge even he has probably realized this, since his…
