Movie Breakdown: Widows (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: Whatever Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave) made next was going to be on the top of my list. The fact that he decided to do an all lady heist film co-written by...

Movie Breakdown: Overlord (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: I mean this film has Wyatt Russell punching zombie Nazis. Do I need say more? Post-Screening Ramble: Somehow, someway, the concept of monsters being hunted by American soldiers in the explosion-pocked medieval villages...

Movie Breakdown: Bodied

Pre-Screening Stance: Joseph Kahn (Torque, Detention) is not a director I really care for, but it’s hard to not at least be a little intrigued by an Eminem-produced battle rap movie.  Also, Bodied played Fantastic...

Movie Breakdown: Wildlife

Movie Breakdown: Suspiria (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: I’ve only seen the original Argento Suspiria once and though I remember enjoying it, that’s about it. Regardless, Luca Guadagnino made Call Me By Your Name so anything, absolutely anything he’s got his...

Movie Breakdown: The Oath

Pre-Screening Stance: Dark comedies are difficult to get right, but Ike Barinholtz (the Neighbors movies, The Mindy Project) and Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip) are two very funny people, so I’m at least cautiously optimistic about...

Movie Breakdown: Halloween

Pre-Screening Stance: I remember watching 1998’s awkwardly titled Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and finding it to be a total waste of time (even for 15-year old me).  Now, the 40th anniversary of the original...

Movie Breakdown: First Man (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: One hundred percent loved Whiplash. One hundred percent loved La La Land. Ninety-nine percent chance that I will love First Man. Math is easy. Post-Screening Ramble: The opening five minutes of Damien Chazelle’s...
