    12 Angry Men

    ★★★½

    I’m a U.S Government teacher and I’ve been watching this movie in class for the last week and finally got done with it. Man did I enjoy this film did my kids some of them did majority of them did not because it was in black and white. But when I started it I wanted to know what happened at the end and to me that’s a big deal because some movies I could care less what the outcome is…

    ★★★½

    Long, Sad, War, Mind Games

    So I just watched the final cut of this film running a little over 3 hours long. Where the theatrical cut is about 2 hours and 20 minutes long. I’ve never seen The original so I have nothing to base the final cut version I watched off of. However I feel it didn’t need to be this long I don’t know what scenes were added since I’ve never seen the theatrical release. This movie did…

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

    ★★★

    Well I feel this movie was way over hyped or I’m just the odd man out. I didn’t hate this film but I don’t think it was anything special. Constant loud background music ruining some moments in the film for me. And I also didn’t like how this ended I was just finally getting into the movie and boom they end it! So that’s my take aways from the film I’ll probably have more that I’ll add in the comments section once I can really think about what I just watched.

    1+1= _______

     I will give it to the director the twist at the end was good! I did need to watch an explanation video on YouTube after but once that happened I was like damn that’s dark! So if you liked this film then go check out my list called “Mind F%#k” because this film was mediocre compared to some on that list so be cautious when watching some of the films on that list. Other then that movie wasn’t…

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★

    Not horrible but did not live up to the hype around the film. 

    I love the director so it’s hard for me to say anything negative but I felt this film could have been 20-30 minutes shorter. Saw the film in imax and the sound obviously was very good and the music was good but some cgi especially in the third act dosent hold up looked about as equal to a xbox360 video game. Not all of the chi was…

    ★★★★

    Location, Time Period, Acting, Story


    I enjoyed how the credits where at the beginning of the film with the nice music behind it making it feel like an old time original film I’m about to be stepping into a new world.  The music at the beginning during the credits sets the tone and grabs the view bringing them into a place they felt comfortable while watching a man try to solve a crime. I’ll need to watch this film again…

    “When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools” - Shakespeare 

    Man what a great movie about life and looking for the best in situations and having a full heart. I’ve heard this film was really sad and after seeing it I can say it’s not that bad. It’s got a good ending and the message is very clear. I enjoyed the cast and it’s cool to see that it’s based on a…

    Ok so I’m a big physical media guy and I own the criterion collection version of this film. My city had a bad weather storm and I haven’t had wifi for the past couple of days so I decided to go back through and watch movies I own that I haven’t seen and this happened to be one of them. 

    To me this felt like an early version of inception take that information as you wish. I’m not saying I…

    Wow just what a great heart felt movie dealing with loss and making feel ok and just natural. I feel if you have lost a loved one in your life this movie will make you remember the good times you had with that person and make you shed a few tears and that’s totally ok because it means the movie is working for what it was trying to do. But don’t get me wrong yes the film does tug on…

    The Holdovers

    ★★★★

    Cold, Funny, Heartfelt, Good Pace.


    This film takes place during a Christmas break where the students who can’t go home for the holidays are to stay on campus with a professor until the break is over they are referred to as the holdovers. I really liked the graininess feel in the film making it feel like an 80s film. The characters are also very good making you care about them and want to see the best for them. I will…

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★

    Beautiful, great sound, nice cast

    I think the hype around this movie killed it for me! I liked the cast. However so many characters and bouncing from future to past made it hard to keep up with certain characters who you might have only seen in screen a couple of times pop back in to play a big role in the final act of the film. But man when they dropped the bomb and I’m just sitting their waiting for…

    ★★★½

    I did like this movie. However, everything I’ve seen online about it said it would make me cry and I didn’t feel very sad at the end nor did I cry especially with how it just ends. But I do think it is a good movie to checkout on a rainy day or wait until it hits streaming or A24s Shop to pick up. This film if you have been through a relationship with someone at a young age and…
