Movie Breakdown: Dear Evan Hansen
Pre-Screening Stance: Musicals are very hit or miss for me, so I tend to turn to my musical-loving wife to gauge whether or not I should be excited for one. And? Well, she’s been a...

Movie Breakdown: Kate
Pre-Screening Stance: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan has only directed one other film – a poorly received effort from 2016, The Huntsman: Winter’s War – and I didn’t see it. I have seen a lot of Mary Elizabeth...
Movie Breakdown: Small Engine Repair
Pre-Screening Stance: The trailer for Small Engine Repair ramps up in a way that I wasn’t expecting at all, and I’m really hoping the film itself will as well. Fingers crossed. Post-Screening Ramble: Small Engine...

Pre-Screening Stance: Worth looks like the sort of film that will have me teary-eyed throughout its entire runtime, but I don’t suppose that’s something to really look forward to. So, instead, I’ll just toss a...

Movie Breakdown: The Protégé
Pre-Screening Stance: Martin Campbell has directed some good films, such Casino Royale, Goldeneye and The Mask Of Zorro, and a few stinkers, like Green Lantern, Vertical Limit and The Legend Of Zorro. Frankly, I’ve yet...
Movie Breakdown: The Night House
Pre-Screening Stance: I feel like I haven’t seen anyone talking about The Night House, which is weird since it does have a pretty great trailer. Maybe it’s just the weirdness from the pandemic that’s buried...
Movie Breakdown: Beckett
Pre-Screening Stance: Ferdinando Cito Filomarino worked with Luca Guadagnino on Call Me By Your Name and Suspiria, and Beckett is his English-language directorial debut. That’s an interesting enough tidbit to make me want to see...
