Since announcing their nominations yesterday, the Golden Globes and Critic’s Choice further convinced me to check out Marriage Story on Netflix. Although it just got released on Friday, all of its nominations made me too eager to wait until the weekend! So I pulled a late night and determined that it just might deserve everything it was nominated for.

Friday Night Double Feature
That’s right, I’m at it again, even though I just did the same thing last week! I saw back to back movies last night, and the outcome was significantly better! A large part of that has to do with the fact that I got to see Knives Out a week before its official release date! I’ll be as brief and non-spoily as I can with this review, so buckle up!

Whew! I really packed ’em in this weekend! I would say all these films were certified blockbusters, so enjoy!
Read moreNetflix Movie Review: The Laundromat
Note: just because a film has three A-listers, does not mean it’s going to be good. Such is the case with the latest Netflix film, The Laundromat, which stars powerhouses, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, and Meryl Streep. I’m not saying the performances were bad. Odd, but not bad. The script was the bad part.
Read moreWeekend Movie Round-up
Once again, I’m trying to make up for the abysmal job I did last month, so I high-tailed it to the theater twice this weekend! First up was the long awaited (for me) Ad Astra. I know there was a lot of hype around this movie, but it being about space, I was a little skeptical.
Read moreNew Movie Review: Joker and In The Tall Grass
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.

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.
Read moreMovie Review: Ready or Not
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!

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!
