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.

Ballerina (2025) - Rated 06 Aug 2025
"Obviously it's tough to hold your own in comparison to John Wick, but Ballerina is a movie that definitely earns its spot in the franchise. Eve is an immediately understandable and sympathetic character, yet the story doesn't treat her like some pure spirit in a world of evil; she is just as ruthless and deadly as you'd hope from a John Wick Spinoff. The Cult fits in very well with this world, and Wick himself was used exactly as often as needed to not overshadow Eve. More of these please!"
Sinners (2025) - Rated 06 Aug 2025
"Been a long time since I've legitimately loved a vampire movie! Jordan's acting chops are peak, Coogler's pacing and direction establishes a tense, but also authentic feeling atmosphere. As a huge music lover, I really appreciated the way the film spoke to the power of song, both from cultural and societal significance. Every bit the masterpiece people say!"
Superman (2025) - Rated 06 Aug 2025
"Exactly the kind of reboot that DC needed. Gunn knows what audiences are looking for in their superheroes, and while he's obviously more comfortable and his skills lend themselves better to more vulgar, inappropriate characters like the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, the true heart and soul of what makes Superman such an icon is well represented here. It's a fun, kind-hearted, relatively funny movie with great action scenes and fun characters. I'm excited for the rest of the DCU!"
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."
