Hey, will you look at that, it’s been almost two years since I’ve written about movies! Anyways, I just caught the trailer for Jordan Peele’s directing debut, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’ll describe it now, but feel free to scroll down and watch it for yourself first. The trailer for Get Out opens […]
So a man buys his pregnant wife a doll to complete the set she’s been collecting. And wouldn’t you just know it, the doll has a demon in it (more or less). Very quickly, bad things start to happening to the couple. They try to explain it away logically, and of course that fails. […]
Thomas (played by Dylan O’Brien) awakens inside a rising elevator. He has no idea where he is, how he got there or even who he is. The elevator stops, and the doors open in the middle of a field to the hardened faces of more young men. These boys barely know any more about […]
If you’re anything like me, you have oodles of useless movie trivia in your brain. It sits there doing no one any good until you’re at a party and you overhear someone saying, “Who that actress from the Scream movies?” Of course you then cut your friend off mid-sentence to lean over and say, “Neve […]
It’s not the biggest weekend at the box office, but that’s fine with me as I’m still playing a little catch up. My mpm (movies per month) has seen a steep decline this year as my other hobbies edge in on my time. So I’m thankful for weekends like this where there’s nothing I’m dying […]
In Silent House Elizabeth Olsen plays Sarah, a college aged girl visiting her family’s lake house with her father and uncle. The family plans on selling the place, and the three of them are there to pack their things. Sarah hasn’t been back since she was a kid. It looks like no one has been […]
It’s Thomas’s birthday. His parents have given them their minivan as a present, and they’re leaving him the house for the weekend. Mom has misgivings about the latter, but Dad doesn’t because, to paraphrase him, Tom (played by Thomas Mann) is a loser. They expect he’ll have some friends over, but it’s not a big […]
I didn’t want to see Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I saw the first movie, Ghost Rider, years ago and didn’t enjoy it. The plot wasn’t that great, and I didn’t connect with the action scenes. The commercials for the sequel made it look like more of the same. But then I heard an interview with the always interesting […]
If the last decade in movies has taught us anything on the subject of superpowers, it’s that if you develop them, you will eventually start wearing skin-tight costumes and fighting crime. Not so for the characters in Chronicle. This aptly titled film chronicles what happens when three teenagers develop telekinetic powers, and surprise surprise, they […]
The Yankee Pedlar Inn, a cozy, three-floored hotel, is shutting down. On its last weekend open, the owner goes on vacation and leaves the keys to the inn’s only two employees, adorkable Claire (played by Sara Paxton) and nerdy Luke (played by Pat Healy). This is the perfect opportunity (and the last opportunity) to get […]
From the word “go” I was excited by the idea of someone doing a modern spin on the silent film. I’d only seen bits and pieces of silent films before, and while they were interesting, that whole era of film never really intrigued me; it was too old and didn’t appeal to my modern sensibilities. […]
I go to the movies a lot in a year, and majority of the time I leave the theater thinking I saw an okay film. Not great, not bad, but a pleasant way to have spent the last couple hours. I’ll usually think about the movie for a while afterwards, trying to replay it in […]
