Tenet: Movie Review
Time. A strange concept, and Tenet, a palindrome, spelled the same forward as it is backward, is a fantastic title for what is easily 2020’s best film so far. As quarantine hit the theater industry, and the film industry as a whole, was shaken to its core in ways never seen before. Productions stopped, release dates were postponed and cancelled, and projects were put on … Continue reading Tenet: Movie Review

Best Stand-Up Specials On Netflix
Hannibal Buress – Comedy Camisado Hannibal Buress has been one of my favorite comedians for the last few years and his special Comedy Camisado is a fantastic hour of comedy recorded in Minneapolis. In this hour, Buress tackles topics such as the horrid cycle of traveling after losing your I.D. and what his career would look like if he became a blind comedian. Full of … Continue reading Best Stand-Up Specials On Netflix
Honey Boy: Movie Review
It’s not very often that a film will affect me like Alma Har’el and Shia LaBeouf’s Honey Boy. A true story, and dark look into the life of a boy named Otis (a fictionalized version of Shia LaBeouf) who, at the age of 12, finds himself on television (to replicate LaBeouf’s role in Even Stevens) as the lead child actor while being raised by his … Continue reading Honey Boy: Movie Review
Government censorship
In my opinion, Government censorship is extremely egregious in every sense, and the fact that my own state’s legislature seems so on board with the idea is very troubling. Ben Baker has introduced a bill to attempt to bar young people from getting access to “age inappropriate” or sexually explicit content, people rightfully became upset. No government in any place in this country, or on … Continue reading Government censorship
1917: Review
1917 is a technical masterpiece from director Sam Mendes. It is a visually stunning World War 1 epic, and one of the most surprising and entertaining war films I’ve ever seen. What it lacks in plot, it makes up for with incredible visuals, a beautiful original score, and great performances and incredible cinematography from the legendary Roger Deakins, this film is incredible to watch. 1917 … Continue reading 1917: Review
Award Season: Consistent Controversy
It’s the start of a new year, and a new decade, which means it’s time for award season. The Oscars, The Golden Globes, The Emmys, The Grammys, The Tonys, and most importantly, the controversy that always follows. It seems as if every year, something’s happening that must always be discussed at the award ceremonies. The recent Golden Globe awards are a prime example of this. … Continue reading Award Season: Consistent Controversy
Why Are Streaming Services’ Movies Often Overlooked For Awards?
Streaming services are the modern day titans of in-home media consumption, and their annual income is an astonishing figure. TV and Film based services grossed nearly $17.03 billion in 2018. These figures are incredible, and the services are used worldwide. With all this money, they put some back into themselves, and create original properties. More often than not they aren’t bad. Some are actually excellent. … Continue reading Why Are Streaming Services’ Movies Often Overlooked For Awards?
Marriage Story: Review
Noah Baumbach is one of the most competent filmmakers living today. He is grossly underrated and nearly every one of his 13 films have all been incredible. Mariage Story is no exception. It’s brilliant, it’s emotional, it’s grounded and my God it’s well acted. Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Ray Liotta, and Laura Dern are all excellent in this film. Driver and Johanson especially, in my … Continue reading Marriage Story: Review
