One really confusing sequel title later

So, THE Suicide Squad is the sequel to Suicide Squad. Which may just be the most confusing sequel title since The Fast and The Furious went Fast & Furious on us. No spoilers since the movie literally came out but I will say – I liked how this movie gave Harley Quinn the permission to actually kill people. I really liked Birds of…

Freaky Friday Fridays

Pros to the film Freaky: Some of the most unique “kill shots” I’ve ever seen. Really. Each death was pretty special and well thought out, really impressive. Vince Vaughn was absolutely delightful. He played the part perfectly. It’s a twist on Scream, Friday the 13th and Freaky Friday, all classics and the movie pays homage to…

Sir. The radar, sir. It appears to be…Jammed.

Or maybe a different type of Jam, the kind in Space. Last night I watched Space Jam: A New Legacy. Let me start off by saying that this was NEVER going to top the original for me. I’m a millennial and loving the first Space Jam is my birth right. Now that that’s out of the…

My Happy Place

This post is a bit different. Today I want to talk about a place rather than a film. For anyone living in or visiting the LA area I highly suggest watching a film at the New Beverly Cinema on Beverly Blvd. It is owned by my all-time favorite director (and since I met him last…

Wishing “Nobody” well wishes

In March, after a crazy apocalyptic 12 months, I hadn’t gone to my favorite place in over a year (this place of course being a movie theater). When I finally was able to walk through those doors, wafting in that delicious popcorn scent, one of the first films I saw was Nobody. Now, maybe it was…

I’ll take 2 milkshakes, please.

I first heard about Gunpowder Milkshake a few months back, it sounded cool, but I didn’t have high hopes. Then I saw that Quentin Tarantino was screening the film at his privately-owned movie theater in LA, the New Beverly and then I couldn’t be more excited. Plus, I got a text from my parents after…

I rolled the dice

This weekend I went to see Snake Eyes, an origin story in the G.I Joe series. This movie focuses on the film’s namesake, Snake Eyes. While I don’t have any strong affinity for the G.I Joe series, it looked like it would deliver some exciting fight sequences, and I’m part of the AMC Stubs reward…

And so it begins…

Let me introduce myself a bit, and share my film style preferences, so you can see if our tones align and if you want to continue reading because, hey, we might not like the same things and that’s okay! I love a good fight scene. The more creative the better. I’m talking John Wick using…
