    ‘My Own Private Idaho’ Is a Journey of Feelings

    by Kali Tuttle October 29, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle October 29, 2021

    My Own Private Idaho is weird to watch for the first time. I don’t know what I was expecting, but a group of young male prostitutes with Shakespearean vernacular was not it. All I knew about…

    ‘Training Day’: The Making of a ‘Good’ Villain

    by Kali Tuttle October 21, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle October 21, 2021

    I’d never seen Training Day before this past week and so I had the idea in my head that Denzel Washington’s character, Alonzo, was the hero of our story. He was rough around the edges and a…

    The ‘Drive’ Cult

    by Kali Tuttle October 1, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle October 1, 2021

    You never really know what you’re in for when you watch Drive. You think it’s a movie about crime, then it becomes a slow-burning journey of self-discovery, then it’s a romance, then it’s back to a crime…

    ‘Warrior’: Good Versus…Good?

    by Kali Tuttle September 23, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle September 23, 2021

    Warrior is a dramatic look at the world of MMA, as seen through the eyes of two brothers with a complicated relationship. While this is a sports movie primarily about fighting, much of Warrior is dedicated to…

    ‘Tin Cup’ Is a Cut Above the Rest

    by Kali Tuttle September 3, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle September 3, 2021

    Tin Cup is unique. It’s about a sport that I would wager most people find pretty uneventful. It’s a comedy, but it isn’t slapstick like Caddyshack or The Longest Yard. Most of all, our hero doesn’t win in the end;…

    Does ‘The Help’ Really Address Racism?

    by Kali Tuttle September 2, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle September 2, 2021

    I’ll admit that I’m not the foremost scholar when it comes to racism. I’m a white girl from the Intermountain West who grew up in a predominantly white world. But, I think it’s important to…

    ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ and Its “Amazing” Dialogue

    by Kali Tuttle August 19, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle August 19, 2021

    When reading about Cowboys & Aliens, you would think it was perhaps one of the most ridiculous movies made in 2011. Then again, watching it may make you think that, too. Yet, it’s one of…

    ‘Kazaam’ Confuses Me To No End

    I’m Giving Everyone a Cinematic Universe

    by Kali Tuttle July 21, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle July 21, 2021

    Who Allowed ‘Cars 2’ To Be Made???

    Cars 2 is a cute little family-friendly movie that you can watch with your kids, right? WRONG. Cars 2 is the most violent, intense, and bizarre movie I have ever seen that is still entirely made for…

    Is Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood a Prince or Just a Thief?

    by Kali Tuttle June 22, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle June 22, 2021

    As attractive as Kevin Costner is, his portrayal of Robin Hood should not be considered a hero. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is just a two-hour-long crime movie. Much like the characters in Goodfellas or Heat, this version of…

    ‘Thor’ and the Charm of the Early MCU

    by Kali Tuttle April 21, 2021

    Short-Term Memory Loss in ’50 First Dates’ and ‘Memento’

    by Kali Tuttle March 25, 2021

    On the surface, Memento and 50 First Dates don’t have much in common except for their main plot device of short-term memory loss. Even digging a bit deeper, it’s hard to find the connecting thread between the two.…

    Ranking Christopher Nolan’s Films By How Much They Confuse Me

    ‘Sense and Sensibility’ Beats ‘Pride and Prejudice’ In My Book

    Sense and Sensibility (1995) is what Pride and Prejudice (2005) wishes it was. Unfortunately, Pride cannot even hope to outshine the candor of Sense and Sensibility.  Like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility revolves around female characters and their relationships, specifically with male…
