A movie that seems to be rated highly, but I’m not sure why, Husbands is about three men who lose a friend and go on several unstructured misadventures. I watch a lot of movies based on recommendations from random lists, people, and Letterboxd reviews. They run the gamut as far as theme and decade, but…
Love Hurts, a dark comedy that centers around Valentine’s Day, is so cringe that even the endearing presence of Ke Huy Quan can’t save it. I love Ke Huy Quan. He was one of my imaginary friends as Data in The Goonies when I was a kid and I have loved watching his comeback in…
I would have thought that a movie starring Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen would have been really interesting and engaging. Unfortunately, with Closer, I was wrong. There are some films that seem promising, have a great cast, and an intriguing premise that just end up to be duds. This is a…
I haven’t been more disappointed in a film in a long time. My love for Paul Dano drove me to watch it, but The Extra Man never lived up to what it could have been. When you start a film, you get a good feel for what it is going to be in the first…
I have a rule for myself that I always finish movies, but if I didn’t, Napoleon never would have gotten finished. Or maybe it would have because of the laughs. This movie hurts me. We’ve all heard of Napoleon Bonaparte, the French warrior who fought in and won many battles, and was both general and,…
Sometimes you have to fix a movie for yourself. I renamed this Jonathan And His Merry Bandits. Once you recast him as the main character, Snow White isn’t all that bad. I love musicals. I was introduced to them from a very young age and I make it a point to see all kinds of…
There aren’t enough mermaid movies out there, in my opinion, but when it comes to The Legend of Mermaid, there’s actually one too many. I have loved mermaids since I was little and if I come across a movie or book about them, I will watch or read it. I know I’m not alone in…
I feel like I’m a really good audience for most films. I love film and I can get really into almost every genre and every topic. But when the movie is terrible, like Never Goin’ Back, there’s nothing I can do about that. You know those movies that you watch where you start by taking…
Talk about triggering – I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started this film about a high-school wrestler. But now I can’t stop thinking about it and how uncomfortable Vision Quest made me. This is one of those movies that has always been in the ether. I know the cover…
