Triple Frontier – A Movie Review
Triple Frontier is an action-packed film that kept me both anxious and very entertained. The premise is that Oscar Isaac’s character is working as a security contractor who trains foreign armies and police. He’s been after a particular drug lord for quite a while, but can never quite pin him down. Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam,…

Velvet Buzzsaw – A Movie Review
If you’re looking for a gloriously weird movie that’s a little funny, a little scary, a little tongue-in-cheek, and a little masterful, check out the Netflix original film called Velvet Buzzsaw.

With this being the final chapter leading into what we can only believe to be the end of the current iteration of Marvel movies (a journey that’s lasted over ten years), Captain Marvel has to get it just right. I have three concerns I’d like to…

Bohemian Rhapsody – A Movie Review
It wasn’t until this movie started getting mentioned for Oscar nominations that I gained an interest in it. Honestly, while I like Queen well enough, I had no interest in seeing a biopic about the band. I kind of figured it … wouldn’t be good. How many movies about real bands have been good? Back…

You Should Enroll In The Umbrella Academy
If you’re looking for a new show to binge, I highly recommend Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy. I just finished it last night and it’s one of the only series that I’ve ever watched that made me think to myself, “I can’t wait to watch this whole thing again.” There’s something absolutely delightful about this show…
