Deadman Standing
Deadman Standing is a low budget western film that revolves around a feud between a family of rich landowners and a small town of poor people. I think? It wasn’t a very easy film to follow. The movie starts off with a man who wanders into a saloon owned by a woman named Rosie and she begins to tell him about the recent events of the town. From that point on the film jumps from past to present to f...[Read More]
God Bless the Broken Road
God Bless the Broken Road is a Christian film that is based on a 1988 country song made popular by Rascal Flatts. Just think about that for a minute. The plot follows a young mother Amber Hill after the loss of her husband in Afganistan as she tries to provide for her daughter on her own. She begins to spend more time working and less at church while her daughter enrolls in a church go-kart club h...[Read More]

After meeting him she is determined to find her dream home called the Golden Canyon. Along the way, Ruby runs into different quirky characters who all could use a little help ...[Read More]
Incredibles 2
One thing that I am a big fan of in both of the Incredibles movies is that they found just about the perfect balance of catering to both adults and children. Both films feature guns (like actual guns, not sci-fi looking blocky fake guns), have themes of death and even seeing people die, and political themes that really get adults thinking. I saw the original Incredibles the year it came out and I ...[Read More]

In the case of this film, there is a demon known as Mara who comes to people through sleep paralysis and after the fourth night of seeing the demon, the victim dies. We follow a psycholo...[Read More]
Sorry to Bother You
Sorry to Bother You is Boots Riley’s directorial debut and it is a bizarre commentary on capitalism that needs to be seen. This film is a dark comedy that will make you laugh just as much as it will make you think. Provided Synopsis: Expect the unexpected in hip-hop artist Boots Riley’s Directional and screenwriting debut, Sorry to Both You – an outrageously surreal look at capitalism, corpo...[Read More]

Bella the human, Edward the Vampire and Jacob the Werewolf. While Twilight is largely known for having a fair amount of flaws, it was very successful for a reason. Story In the first film, we are introduced to...[Read More]
Step Brothers
Step Brothers may well be the epitome of the 2000s Will Ferrell comedy genre. It centers around two grown men (Ferrell and John C. Reilly) who still act much like children and live with their respective parent. Once their parents get married, the two men now live together and the antics ensue. Overall this movie seems to focus on a more immature, “dumb” approach to comedy. Many of the jokes are in...[Read More]

The Bride (1985)
When you first pop in this Blu-Ray the logo for scream factory, a subsidiary of Shout Factory that releases horror and science fiction movies, pops up. This in combination with the subject of the movie being Dr. Frankenstein and the creation of the Bride of Frankenstein led me to believe this was going to be a horror film. In fact, it even says it is part of the horror genre on IMDB and to say tha...[Read More]
American Psycho
American Psycho is a film that revolves around a breaking point in the life of an upper class Wall Street man who also happens to be a murderous psychopath. I would try to go more into the detail on the story though there really isn’t much more to go on. Good movies can often be put into one of two groups, great stories or great characters. This is also the starting point for many screenwriters, s...[Read More]
