Movie Breakdown: Godzilla Vs Kong
Pre-Screening Stance: Godzilla vs. Kong looks like it’s going to be a blast. Then again, I thought that about the previous three films in Legendary’s Monsterverse, and the outcome of each one was pretty mixed....

Movie Breakdown: Bad Trip
Pre-Screening Stance: I’ve never really been much of an Eric Andre fan, but the trailer for Bad Trip did make me chuckle a couple of times. Maybe it works? Post-Screening Ramble: Bad Trip is somewhat...
Movie Breakdown: French Exit (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: Patrick DeWitt’s book – French Exit – is such a delightfully melancholic creation. Michelle Pfeiffer is perfect casting for the enjoyably caustic widower Frances Price. I’m always worried about book-to-film adaptations but I’ve...

Movie Breakdown: The Truffle Hunters (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: People love this movie. I love documentaries. I imagine I will also love this movie. Post-Screening Ramble: The Truffle Hunters is a testament to the power of a documentary. The film follows a...
Movie Breakdown: The Courier
Pre-Screening Stance: I’m not at all familiar with director Dominic Cooke, but I like Benedict Cumberbatch and some of the other cast members in The Courier, such as Jessie Buckley and Rachel Brosnahan. Also, Greville...
