A ★★★★★ review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Blade Runner 2049 is a great followup and sequel to the original Blade Runner. Ryan Gosling's character is well rounded and there are so many questions that need answers, which are not all addressed by the end of the movie. This seems like a good way to further the next …
A ★★★★★ review of Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Kill Bill Vol. 1 was a movie that was deep and interesting. The story was really good, and the nod to The Shaw Brothers was cool. The bride, played by Uma Thurman, is a great protagonist. Revenge, revenge, revenge. That about sums up the plot of the movie. First, the …

A ★★★½ review of Mulholland Drive (2001)
This review may contain spoilers. the drawn out dialogue and the camera used to film this make it feel like a dream as intended. I think my favorite scene besides the “this is the girl” scene would be the diner scene. the way the detectives converse and the way the …
A ★★★★½ review of Elvis (2022)
good movie and really highlights the points of Elvis’ career. at times the visual effects and story transitions felt congested but it was engaging enough to not be bothersome. an over the top style was also very appropriate considering who the subject of this film was. He’s a crazy ass …
A ★★★★★ review of Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
A great movie with a message that emphasizes the importance of family and the benefits of having ones you love. This film also successfully depicts greed as an unstoppable force of destruction.

A ★★★★ review of When Evil Lurks (2023)

A ★★★ review of The Hazing (1977)
The title grabbed me. I love sorority and fraternity movies, and I am fascinated with the subject of hazing. I watched this under its alternate and kind of RUDE title, "The Curious Case of the Campus Corpse". Craig is a nice little blonde boy who goes to college with a …

A ★★ review of No One Will Save You (2023)
This review may contain spoilers. Since this was a “straight to video” release (yes that’s the term I’m going to use), I guess I had this unconscious belief that this was going to be a more simplistic, and FUN, modern horror release as opposed to an overly-deep Elevated Horror situation. …
A ★★★★★ review of Close-Up (1990)
