Bio: I'm just a guy who loves movies. Even when I find one I don't necessarily like, if it's at least well made, I can still respect it. I tend to judge a movie primarily on it's story; whether or not I was drawn in and kept interested till the end.

The Covenant (2023) - Rated 26 Jan 2025
"Ultimately the general conceit to this story is enough to make it worth it."
Nosferatu (2024) - Rated 31 Dec 2024
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) - Rated 31 Dec 2024
"Has all the magnitude of a Greek Epic set in the incredibly established Fury Road universe, with just enough new features to help Furiosa's story truly stand apart from that of Max. Unlike most prequals, this one doesn't create new advancements that make it feel like it takes place AFTER the first one. Rather, it builds up what was already introduced wonderfully and continues the action-based story telling that made the first Fury Road so astounding."
Rebel Ridge (2024) - Rated 23 Sep 2024
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - Rated 02 Aug 2024
Longlegs (2024) - Rated 15 Jul 2024
"Definitely very suspenseful and taught throughout most of the runtime, Longlegs does deliver an effective thriller story. The music and cinematography are definitely more creative than your average thriller these days, not shying too far away from some strategically used gore and creepy moments. Still, Cage has plenty of moments that take you out of the suspension of disbelief, and the director really wanted everyone to be as awkward as possible, even when it does make things sluggish."
Fatal Attraction (1987) - Rated 15 Jul 2024
Heart of the Hunter (2024) - Rated 02 Jun 2024
"The characters are compelling enough, the action is solid and there is a lot of seriously compelling stuff to get you through to the end, but this movie does suffer from a real tonal issue. The villains are so inept half the time it comes across as comedic despite the seriousness of the rest of the film, and with what our main character goes through the whole Rebellion element of the story doesn't pay off as well as it should. Good movie, but very cliche."
La La Land (2016) - Rated 20 May 2024
"Stone delivers some great acting chops and I'll give her and Gosling credit that they manage to maintain good and interesting chemistry despite how often they play an on screen couple, but man this movie is paint by numbers when it comes to romcoms, musicals, and movies in general. The ending may have an effectively sad final note, but overall it's a predictable, boring story with music that's pretty forgettable."
The Fall Guy (2024) - Rated 06 May 2024
"There does need to be points taken away for an overuse of cliches, humor that draws on too long and loses its edge, and a story that is sadly more predictable than it needed to be. That said, no one can deny the love laced within this movie for the unsung heroes that are the stunt team, and for cinema in general! It's been a long time since we've seen such creative action and an appreciation for the choreography that make movies worth seeing, and this one definitely delivers on that front!"
