Hoo boy! Starting off the month with an excellent movie, Joker! As advertised and how one could assume, this was a very dark take on how Arthur Fleck became the Joker. We open on Arthur laughing for an almost painfully long time before we see that he’s talking to a social worker. Having previously been in an institute, Arthur now works as a clown for hire, and seemingly enjoys it. That is until he gets the crap beat out of him by some mean teens. Life just continues to pummel him throughout the rest of the movie.

My Trip to NYC!
Friends! I just got back from the coolest trip I’ve been on since I went to CinemaCon in Las Vegas almost two years ago. It’s been about five years, but I finally headed back to New York to visit one of my oldest friends. And this time I told her we were going to see as many celebrities that we can muster in three days – we succeeded!

I realize we’re already half way through the week, but that doesn’t discredit the movies I did see this weekend! Neither were knockouts, but they were both memorable in very different ways.

Not to much came to the theaters this weekend, so I decided to take a look at my list of movies that have been out for a little while that I’ve been meaning to see. Since my local video store got shut down, and I’m too stubborn to stream most things, I went to a nearby Red Box to see what they had – so many good options is what! I settled on two short, but well reviewed movies: A Vigilante and Lying and Stealing.

My sister and I have been looking to go see psychological thriller, Luce, for a long while now, and an indie theater near us finally got it! Totally worth the wait!
Read moreMovie Review: Angel Has Fallen
A few months back when I first saw the beginning of the trailer for Angel Has Fallen, it really took me a long minute to figure out why this looked so familiar. It’s because it’s the third film based on the 2013 original, Olympus Has Fallen. It’s been three years since its follow up London Has Fallen was released, and I really should have watched them to remind myself about what the heck actually happened. I didn’t though, and I ended up just fine.

A few months back when I saw the trailer for Ready or Not, I thought to myself, “have I seen this before?” And with a little bit of thought, two movies actually came to mind, You’re Next and The Invitation. Both movies focus on a night of survival from attackers, but while those two films were their own thing, so was Ready or Not, and I was definitely ready to see it!
Read moreFan Art Friday/New Movie Review
You know, I wanted to do a full movie recap of The Peanut Butter Falcon that I had the pleasure of watching last night, but I realize there was so much in there that can’t be converted into words that I decided this could also be an appreciation post for Shia LaBeouf! I’ve grown up with Shia starting with Even Stevens, so seeing him make very indie, but incredible film choices over the years has been really fun to watch. Sure, his social life is a little odd, but wasn’t Louis, too?
Read moreWhere’d You Go, Bernadette Movie Review
Saturday night, while my sister and a friend went to go see 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, I went to go see, by myself, in an empty theater, the newly released Where’d You Go, Bernadette. A lot of people would be very uncomfortable with that, my sister included, but I think it’s sort of awesome! And the fact that it’s happened to me twice in one month (The Art of Self Defense) means that people are sleeping on some pretty good cinema!

Since I’ve got a fairly busy weekend ahead of me, my sister and I decided to go see the Seth Rogan produced, Good Boys, last night. This was hands down the funniest movie I’ve seen all year! It was absolutely hysterical. I will say that since I’ve only seen Jacob Tremblay in dramas, and he’s been previously nominated for a SAG award, it was hard for me to reconcile seeing him in this raunchy comedy. Either way, it was fantastic.
