Any time you have both Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie in a film together, it’s bound to be watchable on some level; these are two of the best actresses working today, after all! However, “watchable” …

After seeing Crazy Rich Asians I checked out the review of the movie on our site. Following the well-thought-out piece, I scrolled through the comments where I noticed one commenter bringing up an important topic up. They said, “My …

Some actors and actresses in Hollywood get all the glory. As much as I love George Clooney, he’s pretty overrated, and usually one of the first actors that comes to mind when people think of …

Twenty years ago, The Thin Red Line (1998) hit theaters nationwide. I wonder how many people still remember this thought-provoking film. It had a tough competitor that year at the Oscars: Saving Private Ryan (1998). Not only that, …

Darren Aronofsky is one of the great trickster gods of the modern cinema world. His modus operandi as a filmmaker is to shock, to provoke thought, to search the human psyche, to obliterate his audience’s expectations …

Penny Marshall once said, “I want you to laugh and cry. That’s what I do.” And she did it well. Her movies reflected the joy, tragedy, and even the mundane moments of life. Marshall herself …

Call me a grinch, but I have to say it: After 50 years, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is not as great as some might have you believe. The story revolves around an inventor, his two children, …

Years after it went off air, Entourage finally got its wish: we now have a REAL Aquaman movie. I know Vinny Chase, E, Turtle, and Johnny Drama are somewhere in the ether offering a toast (or seven) …

Rain Man was first released in December of 1988. To say people were more ignorant about autism back then would be a vast understatement. In fact, I doubt this film would be made today — …

Picture this: an elderly U.S Army veteran who grows and sells flowers decides to become a drug runner in a time of need. Clint Eastwood directs and returns to act in a film that fits …

It seems that I am now MovieBabble’s go-to guy for correspondence on very controversial motion pictures. Films that disgusted and angered critics and audiences now seem to be my specialty. After the LSD-induced, neon-drenched nightmare …

I’m always looking for that little cinematic gem that hardly gets any notice. As time goes by, I’ve become continuously jaded about the Hollywood blockbuster — especially the kind produced by a certain corporate Mouse. …

Dumplin’ will probably be the last Netflix movie I review this year, and thank god it is, because it is an absolutely fantastic treat to end the year on. Be warned though, you might find …

With industry mainstays like Pixar and Illumination earning billions of dollars by curating animated films for families, it’s no wonder that animation is often tossed aside, typecast as cartoons for younger audiences. But there are …

The following article on Disney and its outlook for 2019 was published in its original form on 71Republic on December 2nd.  Disney has always been a successful studio. One that often times has branded itself through …

Every genre has it’s own standard narrative. In the romantic comedy genre, the standard narrative is as follows: There is a meet cute for the lead couple, their relationship or lack thereof builds, there is …

In the film industry, a popular concept is drawing inspiration to preexisting material like books or video games, etc. Each type of adaptation has it draws, but also its downfalls. Now, there is a high …

If you received an email titled “NEWLY SINGLE for MovieBabble?”, what would you think? Personally, I thought that MovieBabble had been taken over and was now a spam dating website, but then I read the …

Mississippi Burning is thirty years old this month. Based on real events that occurred in 1964, 54 years ago, it depicts the way racism divides and destroys the community. In 1964, three civil rights workers …

For the longest time, The Deer Hunter was one of those movies that I knew I should watch, but never got around to doing so, that is until my father essentially forced me to sit down and …

There’s a running joke in my house started by my sweet mother that anything can be a Christmas movie if you make enough harebrained connections in your head. Does the movie include Christmas at some …

Even though I praised November for its merits, it wasn’t without its faults (that’s VERY clear considering the movies I’ll discuss here). What makes it even more frustrating is that many of these films are …

Sliding Doors, though released 20 years ago, is probably a movie that looks familiar to you. It wouldn’t have been a movie you went to see in the cinema, or decided to watch with any …

Netflix put out a new animated movie just in time for the Christmas season entitled Angela’s Christmas. This movie isn’t anything groundbreaking, but since it’s only 30 minutes long and you’re probably sick of watching Elf or Home Alone for the fiftieth time, …

Filth was released way back in 2013 but after completing my article on the top 10 James McAvoy performances, I decided to re-watch it. If you’ve read any of my posts before, you’ll know I …

November is an underrated movie month. Thanksgiving sees plenty of blockbusters roll into theaters to take advantage of people being off work and spending time with their families. We also get plenty of Oscar hopefuls …

In one of the lesser trends to continue in 2018, we have another low-budget horror movie in theaters the week after Thanksgiving. And in typical fashion for such movies, The Possession of Hannah Grace is a slog. …

There’s way too many companies creating way too many streaming services these days. It was inevitable; when businesses see the possibility of earning a ton of cash, they go all in. But for YouTube — …

Not every movie is a blockbuster or an Academy favorite. Relaxer is one of those films that do not fit either of those categories. With this said, it fits all the parameters of a cult classic…for others. …
