Game On! : Review of Ready Player One
You’ll notice that with most of my reviews, I like to start with a confession about myself. For this one, I must admit that I am insanely jealous of Ernest...

While movies are my main obsession and preferred form of entertainment, I also like to enjoy Japanese animation, or as it’s commonly known as, anime. I’m more of a casual...
To this very day, I believe that 1995’s “Mortal Kombat” is the best movie adapted from a video game. I’m not saying the movie is a masterpiece of cinema, I’m...
Smart science fiction is a hard sell, and this movie is proof. The title is the first clue. “Annihilation” sounds more like something Roland Emmerich would make, rather than someone...
I must confess that Guillermo del Toro is among my Top 5 Directors of all time. He’s my favorite example of a creative mind who is too creative for his...
Ten years ago, JJ Abrams produced a found footage movie called “Cloverfield”. Frankly, I was not a fan. Sure, the concept was unique, the creature design for the monster was...
Let’s face it, Hollywood is creatively bankrupt. As much as I love movies, the people in charge of making said movies only want “sure things”, which means anything remotely original...
Much like the wrestling move, The RKO, the success of Netflix has come out of nowhere. The company was once a mail-in, DVD rental service who tried to go against...
We’re going to do something a little different here, faithful readers. I feel that I can’t express what I like and dislike about this movie without giving away spoilers. So,...
There’s a number of metaphors that I could come up to summarize the situation that “Justice League” was in before it was released in theaters. My favorite would be the...
I imagine that writer/director Edgar Wright got the idea for his new movie, “Baby Driver”, after watching a marathon of “Fast and Furious” movies, and thinking to himself “Gee, what...
I have had always had a fascination with the cop sub-genre. The idea of cops taking on the bad guys, keeping the streets safe for common folk like me always...
I would consider it safe to say that the marketing for “Atomic Blonde” has been a tad misleading. Based on the advertising, we’ve been led to believe that “Atomic Blonde”...
Disney has had some huge animated hits in recent years with movies like Frozen, Wreck it Ralph and Moana. However, it’s been eight years since The Princess and the Frog, the most recent movie in...
Here we are, 15 years after the very first major motion picture to feature Spider-Man, and now we’re on our sixth. Well, six and a half, if you count his...
1. Totally bankrupt in the originality department. The prequels did have superficial parallels to the original movies, but, in addition to that, TFA also lifts numerous VERY SPECIFIC plot points...
It took 76 years, but Wonder Woman, arguably the most famous female comic book character of all time, has finally been given her own major motion picture. Invented back in...
I want to preface this article with the following: I am not a film critic, an avid comic book fan, nor an expert in any way, shape, or form in...
Some may disagree but I firmly believe that truth CAN sometimes be more entertaining than fiction and there are a LOT of damn good true story movies which think prove...
I must confess, I have an an addiction. I am, and have been since childhood, a cinephile. Movies have always been a part of my life. From...
