One Good Mother

One Good Mother? Are you serious? That’s terrible. I’m going to need to fire my joke person (Unmarked Spoilers) Following an apocalyptic disaster, a lone robot called Mother (motion capture by Luke Hawker, voiced by Rose Byrne) sets about repopulation the human race. Raising Daughter (Clara Rugaard) from a small embryo, all is peaceful, and …

An enjoyable case of déjà vu

Olivia Wilde sets the bar high with her directorial debut This movie is very similar to Superbad. Yeah, I’m sure I just blew your mind with that observation. I bet I’m the only person to have realized that. Interestingly, watching Booksmart and Superbad is a good exercise in seeing how society has constructed gender. The main character of both films are insufferable, …

To think, I was just a small child when Iron Man came out

I can’t believe that makes me feel old (Unmarked Spoilers) Thanos (Josh Brolin) has killed off half the universe, and there’s no hope in sight. Except, could the answer possibly lie in the time vortex that Michelle Pfeiffer mentioned at the very end of Ant-Man and the Wasp? I’m not spoiler tagging anything in this review, …

Hey ho, let’s go…again

You should have just quit when you were ahead Rowling

Witness a film that lacks the magic that made the previous entries so special The movie begins with public enemy #1 Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) escaping from prison. Why, because they chose to lock up the most dangerous wizard in the whole world as opposed to, you know, executing him for his numerous crimes. Plus, this whole …

Happy birthday to me–wait, that’s a different movie

A horror movie sequel that’s a little hard to explain without giving something away Happy Death Day 2U is the follow up to Happy Death Day, one of the many films that came out alongside the great horror movie resurgence of 2017. Other examples include It, Split, and of course, Get Out. Both Happy Death Day films lean more towards the …

This is the sequel I’ve waited 14 years for?

Just to be clear, it’s not that the movie’s bad, it’s just that it’s…disappointing The Parr family is back, in this long-awaited sequel to the 2004 animated classic. Continuing right where the original film left off, Mr.Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner), and Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile and Nicholas …
