After watching and re-watching Friends for the umpteenth time over the years, inexorably memorizing moments from their lives, all six of them finally reunite on screen. The mere knowledge of that happening was mind-boggling per se. To see that happen for real in the form of Friends Reunion 2021 instantly takes you back in time. …

Army of the Dead Review (2021) | Your Average Gory Popcorn Entertainer

By scottshak on Saturday, May 22, 2021

Say what you have to but the Army of the Dead movie entertains you. It doesn’t go heavy in the feels as most of Zack Snyder’s other creations do. It is supposed to be consumed like a light entertainer. Didn’t you miss zombie flicks? Well, Army of the Dead at least walks in as a …

The Little Things Movie Review (2021) | Artful, Inventive, and Unexpected

By scottshak on Sunday, May 9, 2021

Some movies tend to walk on a very standard tightrope. You know you have to walk straight. But The Little Things movie is just the exact opposite. You are forced to tread on a string that seems quite straightforward in the beginning, you know, like your average whodunnit thriller and whether you would be able …

Nomadland Movie Review (2020) | Poses Existential Question – Analysis

By scottshak on Saturday, April 17, 2021

What an incredible movie Nomadland is! Chloé Zhao has created a masterpiece based on Jessica Bruder‘s book. It does a thorough perspicacious examination of the lives of Nomads of the RV culture in America, through a third-person perspective of its protagonist Frances McDormand who, by the way, is absolutely fantastic in her role as Fern. …

Ammonite Analysis (2020): A Biopic That Places Politics Above Accuracy

By Jillian Oliver on Thursday, April 15, 2021

Doing the movie analysis for Ammonite this time. Ammonite (2020) professes to be biographical or based on a true story, but it actually bends the truth to where it would be revisionist to call it anything but fiction. The trouble I have with Ammonite is that it doesn’t celebrate paleontologist Mary Anning’s life and work …

Celebrating the Top Three Women Directors From Early Hollywood

By Jillian Oliver on Wednesday, April 7, 2021

Over the many decades of film history, we’ve come to acknowledge the great directors and pioneers of film as being mostly men: Alfred Hitchcock, George Cukor, and James Cameron, to name a few. But few people outside of academia look back to the early days of film, where women like Alice Guy-Blaché, Mabel Normand, and …

Release the Snyder Cut Movement | The Story of Zack Snyder

By scottshak on Tuesday, March 30, 2021

What an insane victory! Release the Snyder Cut Movement finally comes to fruition. It has been an emotional joyride, and what a ride has it been. I often revisit the time when I first saw the 2017 version of Justice League considering it to be wholly Zack Snyder’s movie. As I watched it, I had …

Lost Girls Review (2020): A Frightening Glimpse at an Unsolved Case

By Jillian Oliver on Monday, March 29, 2021

Writing the Lost Girls review today with an appalling yet unsatiated appetite. The movie will entangle you in a case that remains a frustrating mystery. With a body count in the double digits, the Long Island serial killings remain one of the top unsolved cases in the U.S. This dramatization of true events will likely …

Wrong Turn 2021 Movie Review: A Stressful Trek on an Unending Path

By Jillian Oliver on Sunday, March 21, 2021

Wrong Turn (2021) starts out as a fairly conventional horror flick, only to take us on a few unexpected turns along with the ill-fated group of hikers. While horror fans might not see anything too original (since it is more of a reboot of the original Wrong Turn series) in this grisly adventure, it’s a …
