High-Rise is another movie based on a famous book that I have never heard about before. Shit, this book came out in the 1970’s. It took forty years before a movie was made about it, despite having general praise. And it wasn’t even done by America, but the UK got involved to make this bad …

The Lady In The Van
Now, I am not trying to be sexist here. But let’s think about The Lady In The Van. Is it creepy? Maybe a bit. I imagine a cat lady, even though if you live in a van, you probably don’t want cats in there as well. That’d be poopy. But if this was titled The …

45 Years
Surprisingly this year I am far more caught up on Oscar nominated films than the years prior. Of the major categories, I am only missing two films, Trumbo and of course 45 Years for Best Actor and Best Actress. Best Actress and Supporting Actress are almost always weaker categories for me. And so, damn it, …

Macbeth
Forsooth! Verily! Haberdashery! These are the words I imagine to be in Shakespeare plays. A lot of crazy language that is hard for a simpleton like me to understand. Thankfully all of their plots are explained in modern English online, so you can read up ahead and just nod along during the movie/play and pretend …

Legend
What makes a Legend? Is it their walk, their background, their story, their Will Smithy-ness? Or does it involve being a bad ass mofo mobster, enough that one day someone will make a movie about you? Like, Whitey, he was bad ass, and Johnny Depp played him in Black Mass. Is your Legend-ness downplayed if …

Shaun the Sheep Movie
I have been told by my peers that Shaun the Sheep is a pretty popular kids television show. About a sheep! And shenanigans! Sheepanigans! So these people were excited that a movie was coming out. But much like my recent review of The Unbeatables, Shaun the Sheep Movie came out a long time ago in …

Black Sea
Day 2 of Blackweek! Day 1 featured Blackhat, so we are going to remove our clothing and take a dive in the Black Sea instead. I’d make a corny joke about what this movie is about and act surprised when it is something different. But how could I do that? It is called Black Sea! …

The Woman In Black 2: Angel Of Death
Are you excited? They made a sequel to The Woman in Black!! Why do I hear crickets? Must be my refusal to try to buy more bug spray. I personally have no idea what anyone else thought about The Woman In Black, and I am far too lazy right now to look something like that …

Pride
Ah, I do love a good controversy to start a review off. This movie is called Pride. For most of you, you can take a good guess at part of the subject matter of the movie. For others, it might come to a shock to you that this film deals with gays and lesbians. In …

Locke
Locke came out a few weeks ago but something about the title or the dvd cover just bugged me. Based on name and cover alone, I figured it was some sort of slow crime movie. Had to push it back. Too much energy to appreciate a slow crime movie. The reason I finally decided to …
