This is not about elections, steel dossiers, or FBI reports I will never read. This is all about how sexy, crazy, cool, and dangerous those Russians can be on screen and off.

Movies with actors doing Russian Things:

  1. Vanessa Angel from Spies Like Us
  2. Viggo Mortenson from that one killer movie, Eastern Promises
  3. Everyone in White Nights. Even Gregory Hines, a defector from the U.S. Mikhail Baryshnikov, Helen ...

Recently, Warner Bros. released The Meg as proof that sharks are not bankable unless you make them silly. As frightening a creature as sharks seem, they are never good subjects for a movie. There are very few plots involving sharks in which to script an original film. Depending on the idea, a thrilling shark movie should never be over-conceptualized. Just keep it simple: sharks plus ocean equals scary.

My Oscar ballot results suck. 
 
The Academy’s disappointment wins.
 
  • Moonlight wins over the much acclaimed La La Land
  • Crash gets the statue over Brokeback Mountain, the favorite to win.
  • Green Book was good enough to win, but not the only choice to lose against ‘the people’s’ favorites.
Some great film moments of 2018. We the audience are the Academy. Enjoy film however a...

Looking back on this movie in relation to the title of the film, there should be a more artist approach to this biopic for the band Queen and not the man Freddy Mercury. At face value, Bohemian Rhapsody is a paint-by-the-numbers biopic without the celebratory weight of a meaningful story.
 
They dangle Freddy Mercury on screen just long enough for us to pat at the plight of this man who (may have) suffere...

Halloween has a newfound popularity rooted in a remake that is a sequel (a remakequel) to the beginnings of a franchise relaunch. Not new material, but there’s a case for simplicity with horror movies that over time lost to the evolving use of special effects and jump scares. Halloween (2018) wasn’t a great movie; however, it is what this genre needs as a reflection back to when simple storying telling thrilled the masses. 

This, T...

Remakes and Franchises make movie watching boring these days. Same ol’ this and with a sprinkle of that thing already imagined. Jurassic World and Ocean’s 8 are two examples of films —this summer— whose failure to deviate from the plot and character development of it’s precursors to produced a final product that hit all the marks of fanfare but lacked originality.

    Black Panther is the only black James Bond we need. He has the tech, a suave demeanor, and the well intent to undermine criminal minds who threaten his nations. It would be great to have a black James Bond character on the big screen but as long as he or she is not James Bond and more Bond-like. I’m bored of remakes and studio attempts to reinsert old titles into the modern day film industry by way of cultural appropriation: Female...

    Solo is an entertaining movie and could possibly be more to audiences if we could accept him --the individual, Solo-- as the main character rather than a sidekick who just so happens to be the baby daddy to certain Skywalker progeny. This movie isn't necessary to the canon, however, has the potential to payout and entertaining storyline if we care to wait for forthcoming sequels.

    People “riding’ Solo for the all wrong reasons.<...

    In two movies, Disney and Marvel, (kinda) redefined or rather reintroduced the sympathetic villain into the mainstream zeitgeist: Kilmonger and Thanos. We may not like the pain Thanos inflicts on Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Avengers Infinity War but you gotta like the guy; he has conviction and purpose. Sure he's crazier than a raccoon climbing a skyscraper, vicious, and a bit of a psychopath. However, he's also compassionate and e...

    Blade Runner continues the conversation it began thirty-five years ago with an even deeper questioning into the morality of creating life.

    Life finds a way.

    Since Jeff Goldblum stuttered those words in the first Jurassic Park, the question of life coming into being outside the control of its creator is not just a popular quote but a think well consideration. If we[humans] are to be the next creators of life then we must take the re...

    Aliens, they fit into neither the category of monster or creature but fall into the unknown. We don't fear them as much as we are intrigued by them. Give us a reason to be afraid and I'm sure we'll piss our pants. But until that time comes curiosity will have to reign supreme within the space of our feeble minds.

    The 80’s welcomed in a different type of horror movie which steered away from the fear of the atomic 50’s and the boujee-ness of the 1960’s Euporean bloodsuckers. Horror did not necessarily include monsters but monstrous figures committing monstrous acts.

    In the late 70’s and 80’s, the movie monster replaced cheesy storylines with utter suspense and terror, like, Jaws (1975) and Alien (1979). Long were the days of monsters coming f...

    In September of 2016, we recorded an episode that never made it to post-production. Sometime during this awesome recording of Freddy galore, the recording stopped and we lost the better part of our program. Although we could never recreate that moment, I pieced together an episode filled with a semblance to our true intentions on that faithful afternoon.

    What is it about fear that intrigues us? Is it the mystery of the unknown or the thrill of the experience that we find so alluring?
    Some people are born fearful while in others fear comes with living our everyday lives and encountering things that make us feel uneasy or apprehensive. Either manifested from our now psychosis or an event, fear is natural and actually healthy. But how we deal with fear is what defines ...

    Dolls make bad roommates, however, if you really feel the need to own such an empty vessel with no personality and frightful glaze, then get a cat. No, not a cat instead of the doll. Buy a cat once you purchase the doll and protect the only real investment you can claim as an asset: your soul.
