December 27, 2017

Now that I have dug through all the trash, it’s time for the best films of 2017.

Society Reviews Top 10 Worst Films of 2017

December 25, 2017

It’s that time of the year again, for me to take out 12 months of frustration on the worst pieces of trash that took a minimum of 20 hours out of my life. Now I have to note that there were a lot of bad movies in 2017 but only a select handful of them actually made me upset watching them. So a few films you won’t see on the list like Fifty Shades Darker and Wish Upon which were obviously bad movies, but had an enjoyment factor over how bad those movies were.  The films that made this list has no enjoyment factor, they are human trash. Here is the list of Top 10 worst movies of 2017 with some Honorable Mentions. … More Society Reviews Top 10 Worst Films of 2017

Darkest Hour Review: Gary Oldman’s Career-Defining Moment

December 23, 2017

Gary Oldman’s interpretation of Winston Churchill is one of the best historical captures we have seen in years. Along with the great Cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel who captures the tensions of war and debate visually with dramatic panning/perspective shots, Darkest Hour is Oldman’s career-defining moment as well as a great story of leadership in the most trying of times. … More Darkest Hour Review: Gary Oldman’s Career-Defining Moment

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Review: Oscar Bait For Movie Buffs

December 21, 2017

As far as the rest of the film, Frances McDormand is great and she deserves the award recognization that she is getting. Woody Harrelson is rarely ever bad in film and he does a good job playing a questionable cop. The acting is stellar, the writing here is confusing because the narrative is completely conflicting. I was pretty conflicted myself watching this because there are things I liked and things that I hated. … More Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Review: Oscar Bait For Movie Buffs

Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle Review: A Solid Video Game Movie

December 21, 2017

The script is well thought out as they manage to keep things simple and interesting. Playing the rules of a game, they establish each player has only had three lives before dying and outside of one ‘heroic’ scene, don’t bend the rules of the game. This adds much-needed tension when players no longer have any room for error when it comes to survival. … More Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle Review: A Solid Video Game Movie

Downsizing Review: Fumbled An Interesting Premise

December 20, 2017

The best way to describe Downsizing is that someone took an interesting concept and fumbled it at the 10-yard line. There is a movie here that the audience wants to see, but the movie we got is one nobody asked for. The only positive thing here is the performance of Hong Chau, whose humor comes from speaking in broken English. Outside of that Downsizing is a film that lost its plot the second Kristen Wiig left the film and they decided to go on for almost 2 hours after that. … More Downsizing Review: Fumbled An Interesting Premise

Star Wars The Last Jedi Review: The Movie The Media Won’t Admit Sucks

December 16, 2017

Star Wars The Last Jedi is a dud, but the biggest problem here is that if Disney after buying 21st Century Fox is going to use the same filmmaking model with all of their properties that they have used for Marvel and Star Wars film, the film and television industry is heading to a (pun intended) constitutional crisis and perhaps an end of movies as we know them. … More Star Wars The Last Jedi Review: The Movie The Media Won’t Admit Sucks
