Endearing, light, and warm. It’s not a serious film, but it’s also not just a comedy. It’s just the right mix. One of my comfort films, and I think it’s one of the reasons this film was made. To provide a comforting hug. Zach Galifianakis is a great comedy and drama actor; he’s even betterContinueContinue reading “It’s Kind of a Funny Story (2010) Film Review”

Bridge of Spies (2015) Film Review
Surprisingly good film, but it’s very Spielberg in terms of semi-unwarranted emotional weight. Again, a good film, but it could’ve worked better as a full-on espionage thriller. Then again, the movie isn’t really about Bridge of Spies (2015) itself—it’s more about Attorney James Donovan. The story centers on him more than the actual historical event. Nonetheless, it’sContinueContinue reading “Bridge of Spies (2015) Film Review”
Sleeping with Other People (2015) Film Review
They executed the overused “best friends to lovers” trope exceptionally well. Jason Sudeikis was hilarious in this—he upstaged the entire cast. Alison Brie, a criminally underrated actress, brought her natural charm and wit, and this film was no exception. Adam Scott, strangely enough, was intimidating in the best way. It’s a great casual watch ifContinueContinue reading “Sleeping with Other People (2015) Film Review”
The Post (2017) Film Review
A stacked cast for a retelling of a monumental part of history. However, the film is incredibly dense—not necessarily in a bad way, but not in a fantastic way either. There was so much to include that it felt a tad cartoonish at times, hindering the impact of the scenes that made the final cut.ContinueContinue reading “The Post (2017) Film Review”
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) Film Review
Overall, it’s a great movie, but there are a lot of sloppy moments. I guess it’s the age of the film, and as someone who grew up watching newer movies with refined techniques, this felt comical. But again, the sum of its parts is great—great special effects, on par with *The Thing* (1982). It’s definitelyContinueContinue reading “Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) Film Review”
The Public Eye (1992) Film Review
A great neo-noir film utilizing Joe Pesci as a specimen, and not as an actor, because you can leave it Pesci to give justice to any character you give him. He gracefully portrayed the odd man, giving you no choice but emphatize with his character. Solid script that is quite easy to follow.Barbara Hershey played theContinueContinue reading “The Public Eye (1992) Film Review”
The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) Film Review
Matthew McConaughey is one of the naturally coolest actors there is, and this role was made for him to portray. I couldn’t think of another actor that could make this performance as smooth as his.Great plot, always have been a fan of Michael Connely after seing Bosch. Stacked cast. Although the cinematography was a bitContinueContinue reading “The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) Film Review”
Analyze This (1999) Film Review
This wouldn’t be as funny as it was if you haven’t seen the essential mafia films. Having seen almost all of them, and most De Niro films, this was hilarious.Billy Crystal’s comedic timing is great in this, but De Niro really can’t help outshining his co-stars, because he was hilarious in this. He knows hisContinueContinue reading “Analyze This (1999) Film Review”
They Came Together (2014) Film Review
They’ve done a stupid parody in a great way. Laughed my ass off almost the entire time. From their over-the-top facial expressions, ridiculous slapstick, mockery of the rom-com meta, delivery of dialogues, everything. From the get-go, it made me laugh, like laugh laugh, not just chuckle or giggle at some jokes. The best parody film ofContinueContinue reading “They Came Together (2014) Film Review”
