Raise your hand if you like cake. Okay, everyone can put your hands down. Southpaw is the cinematic equivalent of cake. It’s pretty to look at, it’s satisfying to eat but it lacks any real substance. But, like most of you, I too enjoy cake; which is why you should check this out in theaters. It’s appropriate to see how… Read more →
When she was alive, Amy Winehouse was a polarizing figure. The new documentary “Amy”, explores her controversial life. From her humble beginnings to her cataclysmic spiral into drug abuse and alcoholism. Don’t bother seeing this one in theaters. Save yourself the eight dollars and wait for it to hit Netflix. I thought the film did a good job of illustrating… Read more →
In most modern stories about Artificial Intelligence (AI) they have some form of “the three laws of robotics”. These three rules govern a robots behavior. The rules, as described by Isaac Asimov in his book, “I Robot“, are as follows: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A… Read more →
“It Follows”, directed by David Robert Mitchell, is an affable tale about young love. Before I get started with my review I’d recommend you check it out while it’s in theaters. The film is a coming of age tale about two young lovers living in Detroit. I found the film to be riveting and enjoyable. The special effects that they used… Read more →
The familiar “Behind Enemy Lines” trope is alive and well. The latest incarnation of the theme is in ’71, directed by Yann Demange. I enjoyed the film and I recommend you check it out in theaters. Was it the best film I’ve seen all year? Definitely not. It wouldn’t even rank in the top twenty if I had to rank the… Read more →
I stopped watching the NHL a few years ago after the strike. I was tired of putting up with the drama of having a season, and then not having a season. I haven’t looked back since then, and I don’t watch much hockey now. I saw, “Red Army” last night at, “The Little”. I enjoyed it and I think you… Read more →
I’m a bit conflicted about this one; I wanted to fall in love with this film. I had high expectations although I didn’t know much about it before going in. Perhaps it’s my own fault for not doing any research beforehand. I saw Leviathan at The Little last night. Although I enjoyed it I felt the pacing was a bit… Read more →
Last night I had the immense pleasure of going to see, “The Babadook“. It was without a doubt the scariest movie I have seen in theaters. I avoid seeing scary movies in the theater, they tend to be cliché and predictable. Directors seem to care more about shocking you, than creating a good story arch. Jennifer Kent, the director, did… Read more →
I saw Whiplash at The Little last night. I enjoyed the film and I related to the characters on quite a personal level. I’m going to attempt to roll this post into another post that I have had on the backburner because I think they fit well together. As is customary I will say that, you should check it out in theaters.… Read more →
I had the immense pleasure of seeing “The Room” a few nights ago at The Little for their new “Mondo Mondays” series. I have never had more fun, or seen so many people together having fun as in that room on Monday night. I had planned on saying that you shouldn’t bother to see this, but I’ve changed my mind.… Read more →
