If I’m being honest, War for the Planet of the Apes is not quite my cup of tea. For all the hype and all the build-up that came from a hyper-intelligent first film and an ultra-gorgeous second, it honestly could have been more than what we’d...
Boy, Christopher Nolan really takes “Go big or go home” literally, huh? His newest film, Dunkirk, is the culmination of everything he’s been working toward ever since Memento, in terms of storytelling, editing, cinematography, and scope. And...
Guys, I love The Room. Often referred to as the best bad movie ever made, it’s earnest ineptitude has won over fans for the past fifteen years. I’m a huge fan of the movie myself, having seen it almost twenty times, completed the drinking game...
Whether you are a lover of horror or fascinated with the current zombie craze, you probably owe a great deal of credit to George A. Romero. He really only created two films worth mentioning in his relatively short filmography, but man, are they...
