Movie Breakdown: Maze Runner – The Death Cure

Pre-Screening Stance: Will Maze Runner – The Death Cure be the walk-off home run that the series so desperately needs in order to make the YA film hall of fame?  Probably not, but I’ve seen...

Movie Breakdown: The Commuter (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: It’s my first film of the year and though I know it’s another over-plotted, run-of-the-mill action flick by Jaume Collet-Serra and his elderly star, Liam Neeson, my optimism is high. Post-Screening Ramble: Jaume...

Movie Breakdown: The Post

Pre-Screening Stance: As much as I like Steven Spielberg when he’s in full on spectacle-mode, I really love his historical dramas.  If we’re lucky, The Post will be another Bridge Of Spies or Munich.  If...

Pre-Screening Stance: I’ve been anxiously awaiting Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape Of Water ever since that first teaser rolled out way back when.  It looks like it has somewhat of a Pan’s Labyrinth vibe, and...

Movie Breakdown: Coco

Pre-Screening Stance: I hadn’t even heard of Coco until I saw a commercial for it during a football game two or three weeks ago.  That’s super odd to me, especially since it’s a Pixar film. ...

Movie Breakdown: Justice League (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: It’s hard for me to think anything but horribly negative thoughts about Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, as it is absolutely one of the biggest failures of a film, big-budget of otherwise,...

Movie Breakdown: Justice League

Pre-Screening Stance: For a while now I’ve been trying to get myself excited for Justice League, but I just haven’t been able to get over the “yeah whatever” hump.  With that being said, I’ve yet...
