A COMPLETE UNKNOWN MOVIE REVIEW Director James Mangold more or less made the film that defined all the tropes of the musical biopic with his 2005 film about Johnny Cash, Walk The Line. Said tropes than thoroughly and perfectly satirized in 2007’s Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Naturally, many were wary when Mangold was […]

JUROR #2 MOVIE REVIEW Whenever a jury duty summons comes in, I’m annoyed, aren’t we all, but definitely not mad about it either. However, if I received this notice while my wife was enduring a second pregnancy in the third trimester, I’d be quite angry. Enter our protagonist Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult). A recovering alcoholic, […]

QUEER MOVIE REVIEW Director Luca Guadagnino dives into the world of transgressive author William S Burroughs with his latest film, Queer.

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING SEASON 4 REVIEW They say the first rule of real estate is “location, location, location”. While that’s mostly true for Season 4 of Only Murders in the Building, the showrunners seem to have embraced the second rule of sitcom television: “guest stars, guest stars, guest stars”. Considering the number of […]

HERETIC MOVIE REVIEW Just because Halloween is over, that doesn’t mean random young people won’t come knocking on your door; only this time they aren’t asking for candy, they’re asking if you have a moment to talk about their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That’s right, we’re talking about Mormon missionaries. When Sister Barnes (Sophie […]

Saturday Night Movie Review In the midst of its 50th season on television, Saturday Night Live is without question a staple in American comedy.
