Some film classics have had such an enormous impact on pop culture that you might start doubting whether you have actually seen them. The sheer number of references in today’s media can make you feel like you have. One of those films is Jaws, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with a re-release in theaters. Whether you have seen this classic before or not, now is the perfect time to experience it as it was meant to be seen. Continue reading
Forty years after its release, Platoon remains one of the most powerful anti-war films ever made. We follow Chris Taylor, played by Charlie Sheen, a young man from a privileged background who volunteers to serve in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. What begins as a patriotic mission quickly unravels into a harrowing year that leaves him forever changed. Continue reading
Sometimes, you stumble upon a delightful form of coincidence. Recently, I decided to revisit the classic Reservoir Dogs (1992). The last time I watched the film was probably fifteen years ago when I first picked up the DVD. Not even two days after recently revisiting this Tarantino classic, I spotted the special 2-disc edition at a thrift store. Naturally, I couldn’t pass it up. Continue reading
I’ve watched 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past nearly ten times now, and I still can’t get over how incredible this film is. Heck, even on a long flight last month, I rewatched it—it’s that good. As a fan of the X-Men franchise, we’ve been pretty spoiled with a total of 13 movies so far. But let’s be honest: the quality varies. And while X-Men paved the way for other comic book adaptations, the early films didn’t always hit the mark. Continue reading
By chance, out of sheer boredom, I stumbled upon one of the games I had snagged for free on PS Plus and decided to give it a try. My friend and I happened to be looking for a multiplayer game we could play together from the couch. You know, like in the good old days. That game, of course, was Broforce, and it was the beginning of a true romance 😉 Continue reading
Mad Max: Fury Road was fantastic! George Miller hit the mark and now attempts to replicate that success with Furiosa, a prequel focused on one of the main characters from Fury Road. In Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, we see what Furiosa’s (Anya Taylor-Joy) life was like leading up to the events of Fury Road. Brilliant! Continue reading
M. Night Shyamalan comes up with a wild idea every now and then and turns it into a feature film. After the fairly entertaining Old and classics like Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense, it’s now Trap’s turn. A film in which a kidnapper/murderer is trapped “in disguise” during a pop concert, all under the watchful eye of his daughter. What could possibly go wrong? Continue reading
The Bikeriders takes viewers on a raw and emotional journey through the lives of a 1960s motorcycle gang. Directed by Jeff Nichols, this film is a vivid portrayal of the brotherhood, loyalty, and tumultuous dynamics within the biker subculture.
The Swiss animation feature film ‘Ma vie de Courgette’, ‘My life as a Zucchini’ in English, only runs for a little bit more than an hour. But what it accomplishes in such little time is nothing short of stellar. Continue reading
Scrolling through the seamlessly endless movie offerings, I encountered the 2022 feature film Chip ‘n Dale. It immediately reminds me of my childhood, where Chip ‘n Dale were two of the most beloved Disney characters. I even had a pair of female twin friends during my youth, who resembled the duo a lot because of their looks and squeaky voices. Anyway, enough memories to catch up on during the runtime of the movie. However, I was in for a big surprise. Continue reading
