Movie Breakdown: Bad Boys: Ride Or Die

Pre-Screening Stance: Bad Boys: Ride Or Die is coming to us from directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who also did 2020’s Bad Boys For Life. That was a solidly fun time, and I’m...

Movie Breakdown: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Pre-Screening Stance: I’m pretty sure people are expecting too much from Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. I mean, I get it – since its release in 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road has cemented itself as...

Movie Breakdown: I Saw The TV Glow

Pre-Screening Stance: Over the last few months I’ve heard a lot of great things about I Saw The TV Glow, so I’m heading into it with high expectations. Post-Screening Ramble: Here’s what I would like...

Movie Breakdown: Civil War

Pre-Screening Stance: Alex Garland is a big name who has written and/or directed a lot great films (Ex-Machina, Annihilation, Sunshine, 28 Days Later, etc.), and that alone means Civil War is must-see material. Also, let’s...
