Roulette Films

In this review, I gas up what I thought was a really excellent adaptation of the Resident Evil video game franchise. Cregger once again does an excellent job of putting his own unique spin into his latest horror film, and captures the overall feeling of playing through a RE game exceptionally well. I go into why this is the case and discuss why I think certain criticisms levied against the film are somewhat disingenuous.

In this review, I sing the praise of Coyote Vs. Acme while also singing the dirge of Batman Caped Crusader. Believe me that these things are both very much deserved. But, if you disagree, let me know in the comments below!

Hello hello! In another open dialogue edition of a movie review, I discuss the latest Spider-Man film with long-time sister, first time caller, Jordyn. Though five years apart, both of us have grown up watching superhero films and following the various phases of the MCU. So, we got together to give our thoughts on the latest Spider-entry to this massive saga. There was a lot we loved and a few bits that maybe we didn't love so much. Find all my other links here.

For the first time in Roulette Films history, the IQ in the room has more than tripled! That's right, long time friends and first time contributors Jack and Eric join me to discuss Christopher Nolan's latest film. We touch on our favorite bits of the film, themes present throughout the narrative, and our personal highlights of Odysseus's years-long torture tour. We even talk some theories about Agamemnon, who many people are calling the Boba Fett of The Odyssey.

My thoughts on The Odyssey after having seen it opening weekend. It's impressive on almost every level, and I take time to call out what about it works so well specifically. From the physical filmmaking of it to the thematic choices and points of emphasis, it all clicks. This creates a truly unique experience that I can't recommend enough.Watch this review along with scenes from the film on my YouTube channel here.And find all my other links here.

Though I'm a bit late to the party, I finally had the chance to sit down and see Disclosure Day in theaters. And, honestly, I enjoyed it a lot more than I figured I would have. Spielberg never ceases to amaze, regardless of the type of project he chooses to put forth. In this review, I discuss why I think some people aren't as over the moon as usual with the latest Spielberg project, and highlight a lot of what I came to love about the movie.Let me know what you thought about Disclosure Day in the comments down below. And, if you haven't seen it, I hope this is the encouragement you needed to be willing to give it a shot. It's a worthwhile experience, and it should be a rule to never pass up a Spielberg movie in theaters.

Here, I discuss the unusual number of similarities between Daredevil Born Again Season 2 and Devil Wears Prada 2. I analyze their antagonists and how they are ultimately defeated in order to better understand why one felt more satisfying to me than the other. I also discuss the kinds of antagonists each story uses, and how this works to their benefit.

A few weeks back, I saw The Drama. And I thought it was really well done. Despite a relatively simple plot, it makes for a really compelling watch. And I think this is in large part due to how well it executes on the core idea of torturing its characters. I talk about why this works for the film as well as why it's important for films and their characters in general.

Last weekend, I saw Project Hail Mary. And, as a fan of the book, I was not surprised to wind up liking it very much. It did everything very well and hammered home its themes and core ideas with a sincerity that is not so common to come across in the modern media landscape. I talk about why its emotional beats hit as hard as they do, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness which with the film presents its mandatory exposition. I am sure to mention everyone's favorite rock-composed-arachnid-creature, too. Let me know what you thought of Project Hail Mary in the comments below! Did you read the book? Anything you prefer in the film or book compared to the other?

In this romantic, heart-warming review, I discuss Send Help, the new thriller film from Sam Raimi starring Dylan O'Brien and Rachel McAdams. I really enjoyed it, so I have a bit of fun on a tangent analyzing how McAdam's character, Linda Liddle, would be judged as a contestant on the TV Show Survivor that this film takes a very cursory inspiration from. A bit more unusual than my standard reviews, but hopefully this is enjoyable nonetheless.

And, while we're on the topic, check out my friends at Survivor Analytics! They're a fun podcast centered around analyzing the actual Survivor TV series. You can find them here.

What did you think of Send Help? Did you like it? How do you think Linda would fare on a season of actual Survivor? Would she win the million dollars?
