Review #14: Sing

Through a special free preview through AMC this weekend, I got to see Sing almost a month early! Here’s my spoiler-free take on the new Illumination Animated film.

Review #13: Allied & Loving

First, I give my take on the new Brad Pitt/Marion Cotillard WWII drama, then we move over to Jeff Nichols’ new film, Loving.

Loving Review: 14:56

Statistics #9: Moana

Who was the highest rated actor lending their voice to Disney’s newest film? How much does this help Dwayne Johnson on the spreadsheet? And what are my favorite animated films, Disney or otherwise?

Review #12: Moana

The newest Disney “Princess” film featuring Dwayne Johnson is out and today I’ll be talking about it, it’s relation to Zootopia from earlier this year and other Disney films, as well as the music. Getting this one out a little late today, but I hope everyone in the US had a great Thanksgiving!

Review #11: Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk/Bleed for This

Today’s review episode covers two films I watched over the weekend. Ang Lee’s new PTSD/War film opens the episode. But you can skip ahead to ~24:13 if you’re only interested in Bleed for This.

RetroReview #1

The first RetroReview episode! Today I shine a light on a handful of films I’ve seen recently that came out before 2000.

  • Legends of the Fall
  • Bugsy
  • Kes
  • Starman
  • Kiss Me Deadly

Statistics #8: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Like the original Harry Potter films, Fantastic Beasts features a huge cast and sends shock waves through my spreadsheet. Today, I’ll go through some of that.

Review #10: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Another big blockbuster is out this weekend and I’ve got an opinion. I explore Fantastic Beasts from my nostalgic, Harry Potter-loving, childhood perspective. There’s plenty of good and plenty of bad to go around.

Statistics #7 : The Edge of Seventeen

A new format for statistics episodes debuts with The Edge of Seventeen. And then a brief look at some of the data on my top 100 (without going into too much detail on what films are actually in it).

Review #9: The Edge of Seventeen

Today’s review focuses on the new James L. Brooks film, The Edge of Seventeen, starring Hailee Steinfeld! Spoiler: I liked it.

Review #8: Arrival

I break down Arrival, and I kind of break down a little bit myself, too. There’s a brief spoiler-free section, but the majority of the episode is spoiler-heavy (which I say, so fear not about being surprised by things).

Review #7: Moonlight

I take a deep look at my feelings on Moonlight, which definitely perplexed me as to what I should rate it. I compare it to Carol and Steve Jobs, noting the pluses and minuses for each comparison.
