Los Angeles is often nicknamed “The City of Angels” and it’s not hard to see why. But in Message from the King we get to see a different side of Los Angeles, one that I haven’t witnessed before on the big screen. Message from the King revolves around Jacob King (a dark, bitter Chadwick Boseman) who comes to LA to […]
‘The Incredible Jessica James’ Review: Conventional, but Charming
Some roles feel like they were specifically written for someone – in that they embody the role so perfectly that you couldn’t imagine anyone else playing them – and The Incredible Jessica James’s eponymous lead character (played by Jessica Williams) is definitely one of them. The Daily Show standout shines in the film, playing a […]
‘Lady Macbeth’ Review: Florence Pugh is a Force to be Reckoned With
When listing off the most recognizable female characters in history it doesn’t take long before Lady Macbeth shows up. Showing up in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, she was a completely memorizing character and was arguably more evil than Macbeth himself. We’ve seen multiple works in Hollywood tackle Shakespeare’s epic, with the latest one starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard […]

‘Atomic Blonde’ Review: Stylish and Spy-Ish?
Let’s just get this out of the way – Charlize Theron is a bad ass. If her role as Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road didn’t convince you, then her turn as MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton definitely will. Based on the 2012 graphic novel The Coldest City, Atomic Blonde takes place in the middle of the Cold War, […]

Why ‘The Little Hours’ Stands Out in a Year of Disappointing Comedies
If we’re being completely honest, comedies in the recent months have not worked. Sometimes the idea is there, but the execution or the script fails the film. The Little Hours is not one of those films. It’s not only one of the craziest comedies you’ve seen in a while, it’s also the most ingenious. Below are some reasons […]
‘Dunkirk’ Review: Nolan’s Masterpiece
Christopher Nolan is one of the greatest directors working today. There’s no point in arguing about that because everyone seems to agree. From Memento to The Dark Knight to Inception, Nolan has crafted genre bending films that stay with you forever. Dunkirk, however, was the first time Nolan would be making a movie based on a true story. A huge undertaking, […]
‘Ozark’ S1 E1 Review – Pilot
At first glance Ozark might just be your typical “family man turns into a criminal” show. But it’s not. As the old saying goes; “don’t judge a book by its cover” and that saying applies wholeheartedly to Ozark. It’s dark, new and could be the new Bloodline. Funny man Jason Bateman continues his career renaissance by starring as Marty […]
An interview with ‘A Ghost Story’ director David Lowery
A Ghost Story is David Lowery’s latest hit and its hauntingly beautiful story has understandably earned the film a lot of buzz. A film with such personal themes would have to come from a someone who has such connections to what they’ve crafted. In this case, it would be none other than writer/director David Lowery […]
