Lightyear [Digital Release] Review

Lightyear is a new movie in the lucrative Toy Story franchise from the legendary animated studio Pixar. It ruffled some feathers from its early announcement that Chris Evans would be taking over for Tim Allen. However, I was quite skeptical as well when the first trailers for Lightyear have released the only thing that made me laugh was Sox making the white noise.

I Love My Dad (North Bend Film Festival 2022) Review

I Love My Dad is a movie that sometimes will ruffle the feathers of its audience, especially those that could be triggered easily or not so easily. It’s a unique film experience that will definitely go down as one of the weirdest movies you’ve seen in your life that wasn’t on Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Rifftrax. It’s even harder to describe unless you’re willing to venture out and check it out on your own.

The Forgiven Review

The Forgiven is one of the best movies of the year featuring a dominating performance from Ralph Fiennes(Harry Potter franchise) he should get a lot of award buzz for how he embodies his character in this movie. I would also recommend this movie to fans of Ridley Scott’s The Counselor, which was a confusing movie where you never knew what exactly was going on but you couldn’t move or look away.

Brian and Charles Review: A Missed Opportunity

Brian and Charles is a type of movie that depends how much you love British quirkyness to enjoy it. I rather find myself laughing at quirky British series and movies, however, Brian and Charles struggle to maintain their comedy after the extremely funny opening act. The quirky comedy is a bit too much in Brian and Charles, or maybe it just went over my head most of the time. To me, it’s a misfire by Focus Features.

Cha Cha Real Smooth Review: A Real Smooth time

Cha Cha Real Smooth is an absolutely heartwarming movie of the year, featuring knock out performances from Cooper Raiff who should find himself in a position to be nominated for a Golden-Globe nomination for best actor in Best Actor in a comedy for his portrayal of Andrew, who seems to a be a down on his luck person who may have peaked in high school. Now playing the prodigal son part and returning home to his mom, brother, and his mom’s boyfriend who he can’t seem to stand.

The Phantom Of The Open Review: Mark Rylance hits a hole in one

The Phantom of the Open is the best sports movie of the year and nothing else will top it, it also features an award-worthy performance from its lead Mark Rylance who stars as an everyday man who somehow managed to get himself into the Open without being a professional golfer. The story is stranger than fiction. When we think of sport-themed movies we think of Rocky, Eight Men Out, and Field Of Dreams. The Phantom of the Open doesn’t quite reach the heights of those films but it is enjoyable as hell.
