Movie Breakdown: Last Flag Flying
Pre-Screening Stance: I’m only going to see Last Flag Flying because it’s directed by Richard Linklater. I mean, I like the cast, but old guy road trip movies are rarely ever good. Also, could they...

Movie Breakdown: Lady Bird (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: Greta Gerwig wrote and directed this semi-autobiographical film. Greta Gerwig also co-wrote and starred in Frances Ha. This seems to be a winning combination. Post-Screening Ramble: Lady Bird could be Frances Ha: The...
Movie Breakdown: Murder On The Orient Express
Pre-Screening Stance: This one looks like it should be a winner. It’s based off Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery, it’s got a rather big cast of famous faces, and Kenneth Branagh is a pretty solid...

Movie Breakdown: Kingsman – The Golden Circle
Pre-Screening Stance: If you ask me, Matthew Vaughn has never directed a bad film. With that being said, there’s something about Kingsman – The Golden Circle that seems off. Here’s hoping that its flat trailers have...
Movie Breakdown: mother!
Pre-Screening Stance: For a moment there it really seemed like director Darren Aronofsky was on his way to huge things. Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler and Black Swan were all successive winners,...
