I love when films start off with characters who are fully developed, and throw you in the middle of a conflict. Quentin Tarantino is a master of this. That great flashback that reveals how everything happened to bring the character to where they are in the beginning of the story is one of his motifs. This, or the lack of this in a way, … Continue reading The Drop: How Appearances Deceive
Are there any films you watched which you felt went under your radar for years? As many films as I watch a year, I still always miss one that I watch years later only to say to myself, “this was pretty damn good.” Some movies like these are widely missed and thrown in the Five dollar bin at your local store. Regardless of how horrible … Continue reading Overlooked Pt. 2 : Drama
In this weeks review, I start off with some good news for me, and some bad news for you. The good news is that I got a promotion at the theater chain I work at! I am now a supervisor. Long story short, more money=more enjoyment of the city! The bad news is that due to this, I will be getting more hours and less … Continue reading The VVitch: Review
Alright fellas and ladies. Let’s talk film. 70mm film. In December, me, a co-worker, and a friend went to watch the Hateful 8 Roadshow event, in Glorious 70mm. The show was only showing in one theater in New York City for the chain of movie theaters I work in. It was hard to get in, but we finally did. The first thing we noticed was … Continue reading The Roadshow Event (And 70mm)
Deadpool was showing in my theater and I popped into a late show for a watch. Everyone in the theater was hyped, with Cosplay enthusiasts dressed all in red, ready for the movie to start. This year started the comic book movies with a bang, and even though Batman V. Superman and Civil War have a lot of hype behind them, the Thursday release for … Continue reading Review: Deadpool

I will refrain from calling DiCaprio’s character Teddy … Continue reading Shutter Island: Andrew Laeddis (Part 1 of 2)
Certain movies stay with you long after you have leave the cinema. When a movie is done right, the director’s vision is so vivid that when sitting in the theater, you become Alice looking into a rabbit hole. It’s an incredible feeling, and one that undoubtedly makes you want to watch the film again (just ask the people that watched the Star Wars when it … Continue reading Shutter Island: Two Movies for the Price of One
To start off my weekend, I clocked off at work, headed down, picked up my tickets and girlfriend and immediately headed into the theater to watch Hail, Caesar! a film I’d been excited for all week. After finding my seats early, I waited about 15 minutes for the pre-show (commercials) to start, and it didn’t. I immediately became worried and told one of my managers … Continue reading Hail, Caesar! Review
Let’s face it, you can’t watch all the films you want in a year. Not even if you wanted to. There are those few films that come out in limited theaters, (and by limited theaters I mean nowhere near you) The movies that come out straight to DVD, the movies you saw a trailer for but never had the time to get back to them, … Continue reading Overlooked: Westerns, Action and Crime
