State And Main – Quickie Review

I love movies about making movies. Throw that together with a Mamet script and you’ve got perfection. A magneficent satire chock-full of dry, dry humour and quick one-liners.

Great boxing movie, even better con artist movie. James Woods is magnetic; Bruce Dern is at his sleazeball best; Oliver Platt is a riot. Plenty of twists and turns along the way with a killer ending.

Rock, The – Quickie Review

Easily in my Top 5 action films of all time. This was early in Michael Bay’s career and this is where he peaked. Great action sequences, strong ensemble and actually a very believable villain with fairly realistic motivations. A classic Simpson/Bruckheimer production. I saw this bitch 5 times at the theatre.

Galaxy Quest – Quickie Review

One of my all-time favourite comedies. It’s still fresh. I still laugh as much and as hard as I did the first time I saw it. Tremendous ensemble with Alan Rickman and Sam Rockwell being the standouts.

Pitch Perfect – Quickie Review

My ultimate guilty pleasure movie. I make no apologies for the ridiculous amount of times I’ve seen this flick. I like the singing; I like the edgy humour; I like the girls. It’s a fun movie, so bite me.

It Follows – Quickie Review

Creepy, intense, original little horror flick. Killer score, very John Carpenteresque. One of the best films of 2015; one of the best horrors in a long while.
