Cinematic Doctrine: A Movie Review Podcast Hosted by Christians

MOVIE REVIEW:

Happy Friday the 13th!

Yep, you guessed it, we're reviewing a Friday the 13th movie on Friday the 13th. Can't get enough Friday the 13th? Don't worry, there are far too many Friday the 13th movies, but for your own good, I picked out the best Friday the 13th movie to review!

Jason Lives is not only a Friday the 13th film that doesn't assault your senses, but it's also a genuinely good roller-coaster-like film, and hopefully, I can convince you it's well worth a watch!

Tune in Wednesday nights for new episodes of Cinematic Doctrine!

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is Rated R but has no detailed certificate. So, here's my here's my own certificate: Frightening images, violence and gore, brief sexual content, and language. 

It features Thom Mathews, Jennifer Cooke, David Kagen, and C.J. Graham. 

Directed by Tom McLoughlin.

It's been 27 years, and the Loser's Club is back in Derry, Maine to fulfill their promise. "If It comes back, we come back to kill it."

MOVIE REVIEW:

IT destroyed box office records, solidifying the power of a well crafted R-rated horror blockbuster and reminded everyone of Stephen King's prolific storytelling. And while this isn't the first adaption of the over-one-thousand paged epic, it has become an absolute favorite for many. I mean, goodness, who doesn't love a good coming-of-age story where a bunch of kids fight an insane clown?

MOVIE REVIEW:

It's May 22nd, 2008, and Rob's friends are throwing him a party. He just received a huge promotion, and soon he'll be in Japan far away from New York's troubles and woes. But sooner, rather than later, it seems everything's been put on hold when an explosion shakes Manhattan island from north to south. Things only get worse when Rob and his friends learn there's a giant monster rampaging down central park.

Something about Cloverfield has kept the attention of fans for years. Maybe it's the found-footage film-making, maybe it's the never-ending questions that parade its audience from start to finish, or maybe people just like giant monster movies. Whatever the case, it's here to stay, and I couldn't help myself from rewatching this modern classic kaiju film for the podcast!

MOVIE REVIEW:

Rick Dalton has reached his peak, and it's all downhill from here. Nobody cares that he was a part of a #1 serialized western. That's old news. Now he's just an extra, a star that's bounced around shows to bring in viewers and grow the ego of new, younger stars. He knows it's not long until he's nothing but an old memory in the minds of the world, and that terrifies him.

TV SHOW REVIEW:

Cinema is crawling with them. You can't escape them. Superheroes are everywhere, and their mythos has gone from strictly nerd culture to passive general knowledge. From grand selfless acts to amazing feats of strength, a superhero represents truth and justice the world over.

And yet, we live in a world that feels sick, hopeless, and cynical. 'Things can't get worse than they already are, because they're already the worst they've been.' That sort of attitude permeates the culture around us, and at times, it's so painfully aggressive, we can't help but think the same. Where does this worldview come from, and why do we resonate so well with it?

The Boys contains a harsh reality where hope and faith seem elementary, but that's not all it harbors. There's something smart about The Boys, and it's begging to be talked about.

Cinematic Doctrine is testing out a new release schedule, but you can still expect episodes to release on Wednesday.

The Boys is Rated TV-MA. It contains nudity, sexual content, violence/gore, and pervasive and provocative language. I recommend reading the IMDB Parent's Guide.

It features Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, and Elisabeth Shue.

Created by Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogan.

MOVIE REVIEW:

I have fond memories of reading Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark back in Elementary school. Well, when I say reading, I mean looking at all the spooky illustrations. Even so, I still remember having a grand old time with my friends telling each other stories from the pages of Alvin Schwartz anthologies. Although I must admit, I never got around to reading his third volume.

But I did get out of the house and catch the film adaption of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and it captured an adolescent atmosphere with expert precision (whether that's a compliment is for you to decide).

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is Rated PG-13 for terror/violence, disturbing images, thematic elements, language including racial epithets, and brief sexual references. It features Zoe Margaret Colleti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Austin Zajur, Lorraine Toussaint, and Dean Norris. Directed by André Øvredal.

MOVIE REVIEW:

Which is better: to ignore the truth, or confront it?

Sometimes, it doesn't feel that simple. Sometimes we tell half-truths or skip around it with ease. For Billi's family, lying is at the forefront of their every action after learning her grandmother has stage-four lung cancer. Rather than telling her outright, they treat it like nothing's happened and put up a ruse to keep her from ever finding out. But the morality of the situation puts Billi in a hard place, and she can't help but question her family's motives.

The Farewell is Rated PG for thematic material, brief language and some smoking. It features Awkwafina, Tzi Ma, and Diana Lin. Directed by Lulu Wang.

MOVIE REVIEW:

Casey Davies is different, fragile, soft-spoken, qualities that make for a vulnerable man, and all it took was a single mugging to put him on edge. Fearing the worst, he decides to join a Karate class to toughen up, but there's more to this than meets the eye. It's not just about getting stronger, but feeling confident, feeling powerful, feeling comfortable around... other men? Yes, you read that right! Casey Davies is afraid of his own gender, and to prepare himself for male relationships, he's learning how to handle himself from the insanely charismatic Sensei, a mysterious yet manly-man who seems to know everything about what it's like to be a proper man's man!

The Art of Self-Defense is Rated R for violence, sexual content, graphic nudity and language. It features Jesse Eisenberg, Alessandro Nivola, and Imogen Poots. Directed by Riley Stearns.

MOVIE REVIEW:

It's often difficult to put into words the kind of experiences we've had, and sometimes we have to skirt around the idea that we can be vulnerable, open, emotionally available. Sometimes we feel like we need to put up a wall, and that's the best way we can protect ourselves, like a callous of the heart.

One of the most difficult things to do is understand someone. I'm talking really understand someone, yet understanding is a fundamental aspect of relationships. Sometimes, though, you come across those who are cut off, separated from everyone else, and trying to understand them is a difficulty in its own right. For Lee Chandler, you'll find yourself wondering why he's so irritable, so quiet, so distant, and sometimes, it's hard to come to terms with what you learn.

Manchester by the Sea is Rated R for language throughout and sexual content. It features Casey Affleck, Lucas Hedges, Michelle Williams, and Kyle Chandler. Directed by Kenneth Lonergan.
