Before 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…

“People say that it can’t work, black and white. Here, we make it work every day. We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans.”…

For those of you that just couldn’t get enough of Tenet, Christopher Nolan has another great film coming to theaters soon! Nolan’s newest film takes a surprising turn as he dives into directing a romantic comedy.…

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…

I’ve mentioned this in a few of my other articles before, but I love Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000). I grew up watching it because I was a big Thomas fan. I’m sure there was a point…

Do you like cute things? I like cute things. I think cute things are just the cutest. Today, we are going to be focusing on some of the cutest movies ever. Before we start, let’s…

Sports has been one of the many casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic. While no one would count the loss of sports among the biggest casualties, or the return of sports a top priority, its absence…

Does anyone actually remember Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) or was that just a weird fever dream I had? Has it really been ten years since it came out? Seriously, does anyone…

It has been 40 years since Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back (1980) came out, which seems incorrect at first glance. I love Star Wars and everything in the Star Wars universe. I love…

By now, everyone knows that Tommy Wiseau is by far one of the greatest actors in history. No other person can reach his level of emotion or his infectious charisma. Ever since his breakout performance…

Some actors were just made for the screen. They were practically born into it. Hollywood was just an inevitable part of their childhood — molding and shaping who they were. For these actors and actresses,…

Some TV shows we (mostly I) just can’t let die. I personally cannot watch the final episode of M*A*S*H because it makes me so sad to say goodbye (also, it’s three hours long and I don’t…

Friday is just one of those movies you’re required to see so you can quote it incessantly, much like The Princess Bride (1987) and The Big Lebowski (1998). It’s pretty stupid and has an overwhelming amount of plot points…

With nothing to do on a Tuesday afternoon in the land of quarantine, I sat down to watch A Goofy Movie (1995) to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It’s always been a favorite of mine, if for no…

In this time of Coronavirus deluge and upheaval, I think it’s time for a top 10 list, don’t you? That’s right, folks — today, we are looking at some of the best outbreak movies! (In…
