For the casual What About Bob? viewer, you would think that Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss were simply really good at acting. After all, that is their job. Surely they couldn’t hate each other that much, could…

I’m quietly a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I didn’t grow up watching it and only discovered it in the last few years, but I really enjoy it. Riffing on bad movies is basically…

Thor has a certain charm that has been lost over the years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It feels innocent, in a way. Like Iron Man or Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor was the start…

It was a day like any other: Chad McSmithJohnson was guiding the large cargo ship through the Suez Canal as he normally does. He looked down at a picture of him, his estranged wife, and…

Short-Term Memory Loss in ’50 First Dates’ and ‘Memento’
by Kali Tuttleby Kali TuttleOn 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.…

I’m a sucker for a good Robin Williams flick. The Birdcage is one of my favorites because of the departure it takes from his normal roles. Of course, the rest of the cast really makes the movie, particularly Nathan Lane and Gene…

Ranking Christopher Nolan’s Films By How Much They Confuse Me
by Kali Tuttleby Kali TuttleChristopher Nolan is consistently able to confuse me. He fascinates me as a director. His movies are so complex and yet so beloved by the masses. Yet, half the time I don’t even know what’s…

The Silence of the Lambs scares the living daylights out of me. Anthony Hopkins is possibly the most terrifying actor to exist. I’m not sure if he should take that as a compliment or not, but…

The Misfits is quite an obscure little movie. Despite it being the last performance for both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, it isn’t talked about quite enough. Many people most likely don’t even know it exists.…

‘The Mechanic’ Is Just an Hour and a Half of Wasted Potential
by Kali Tuttleby Kali TuttleBefore I rip into The Mechanic (2011), I’d like to start with a little story. Once upon a time, I saw this movie was having an anniversary and rushed to write an article on it.…

Two of my favorite actors are James Stewart and Cary Grant, so The Philadelphia Story is one of my favorite movies. Yet, I’m not blind to the fact that this movie…hasn’t really aged well. In the…

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why Harvey (1950) is marketed as a comedy. There are funny parts, sure, but the overall subject matter is pretty depressing. A man is suffering from delusions because…

‘Sense and Sensibility’ Beats ‘Pride and Prejudice’ In My Book
by Kali Tuttleby Kali TuttleSense 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…

I could absolutely destroy Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction (1994) in physical combat. There is no way I could lose. Sure, he has a gun and he’s unpredictable, but he also dances like a nerd and could…

Dances with Wolves is the OG Avatar. I’m sure at this point you’ve all read into how Avatar was basically Dances with Wolves with blue people, but I’ll reiterate for those of you who aren’t aware. They both have the same…

I’m a sucker for Aaron Sorkin, so when I heard that The American President would be turning 25 years old this year, I knew I had to hop on here and let you all know how much…

The days really blend together in 2020, huh? Looks like we have our own little Groundhog Day this year. Which gets me to thinking: what would a 2020 Groundhog Day remake look like? I mean, my days are getting to…

Megamind was so underrated when it first came out and it still feels that way today. I can understand why: DreamWorks tends to make pretty juvenile films that target kids with potty humor. Megamind was a breath…

I felt a strange pull to rewatch the Hunger Games films these past few weeks. Whether it’s the stress of 2020 or just boredom, it ended up being a rewarding experience. To truly dive into the franchise…

I’d never actually seen Requiem for a Dream before and I realized that there was a good reason for that after I watched it: it scared the living daylights out of me. Of course, the subject matter…

In case you were not aware, Goodfellas actually doesn’t have good fellas in it. I don’t mean the actors — the actors are great and are on par with every other Martin Scorsese film. What I…

I like to think that the two best directors on the planet are Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen. However, when it comes down to it, Neil Breen has the upper hand. He uses better special…

I love Step Up 3D. It’s quite possibly one of my favorite movies. But, my heavens, does it have some cringy dialogue. For those of you who don’t know, Step Up 3D is about a group of dancers,…

I love children… most of the time. I have three nieces and three nephews that I would do anything for. The children I’m about to talk about, on the other hand, are the devil’s spawn. If…

A gorgeous setting can make a movie so much better. Lots of John Wayne movies aren’t amazing plot- or dialogue-wise, but I sure love seeing the country backdrops. Cast Away (2000) was pretty boring, but that…

Like Prince of Persia (2010), I had completely forgotten that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010) existed. (Apparently, 2010 was the year for forgettable live-action Disney films.) The only thing I remembered about the film was when David (Jay Baruchel) was…
