Unasked-for opinions of the movies and TV shows I watch.
My Rating: 10/10 Should I watch this? One of my favorite movies of 2017, so, yes. I’m sad to say that this is the first Martin McDonagh film I’ve ever seen. Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri, is extremely well-written, well-cast, and well-made. The story follows Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand), the mother of a murdered young […]
My Rating: 9/10 Should I watch this? If you like good love stories, it will make you really happy. If you don’t like love stories, this film will still make you happy. It seems a little unfair to do yet another film by Guillermo del Toro, but I love him so it’s okay. Plus, I wanted […]
My Rating: 6/10 Should I watch this? It’s amazing to enter the stunning world of Azeroth and witness the skillful animation and rendering power of ILM and Blizzard combined, but leave any high expectations for character development, good dialogue, and storytelling at the door. I can’t express how excited I was when this film was […]
My Rating: 7/10 Should I watch it? If you like Tim Burton and enjoy some interesting characters, you’ll like it.

My Rating: 8/10 Should I watch it? Yes, as long as you know this movie is not simply entertainment. While there’s some light humor here and there, there’s violence that borders on the overtly casual, and a particularly upsetting rape scene. I’d seen the opening sequence a few times, having studied it for visual storytelling […]
My Rating: 7/10 Should I watch it? Yes. The character development is particularly satisfying. I’m a little late to the hype on this film, as I only watched it a few days ago on Netflix. Going into it, I knew Matthew McConaughey was the go-to for romantic comedy shenanigans, and that Jared Leto was steadily bee-lining for […]
My Rating: 10/10 Should I watch it? Yes, you’ll be missing out otherwise. I’d like to preface this first post (and review!) with a disclaimer. The site’s appearance will hopefully change in the next few weeks (knowing me, it’ll be months). I wanted to avoid putting off starting this blog by reason of “it doesn’t look […]
