Companion Made Me Question Everything

Companion is overrated. With a 94% critics score and 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, I realize my opinion for this movie is in the minority. Peliplat keeps it a bit more real, rating the movie a 7.4, but even that seems too high. I'm surprised to see such high praise and the audience flocking to the theatre, despite the movie having a first-time director and a cast made up of relative newcomers. To me, the movie had no clear point, and a social commentary that is neither accurate nor enti

Live from New York It’s ‘Saturday Night' and I’m Bored!

I was supposed to like this movie. Embarrassing as it is to admit today, I’m as big of a Saturday Night Live fan as your average middle-aged white man. Aside from spending every Saturday night in the mid-aughts staying up until 11:30pm to watch Bill Hader's latest impersonation and The Lonely Island’s digital shorts, I also wore out my father’s box set of the ‘Best of SNL’ compilations. The collection contained clips of the most iconic sketches dating all the way back to 1975. While I don’t keep

Johanne Sacreblu - The Movie That Will Revolutionize Cinema

James Cameron once said “Pick up a camera. Shoot something no matter how small, no matter whether your friends or your sisters star in it. Put your name on it as director – now you're a director. Everything after that, you're just negotiating your budget”. Hollywood has made us believe that a good movie has to have a crazy expensive budget, big stars, high technology equipment, crazy locations, and more. But in reality, a good movie is the one that is able to communicate something to the audienc

I Liked Emilia Pérez. Don’t Hate Me—Let Me Explain

When you sit down to watch Emilia Pérez, you might already have a bias. Maybe you’ve read the backlash—how it treats Mexican culture, how it uses satire to address sensitive topics, or how absurd its premise sounds. But here’s the thing: the movie isn’t what you expect. It’s bold, ironic, and unexpectedly emotional, and it deserves a chance. By the time the credits roll, you’ll either love it or hate it—but isn’t that the beauty of art? More Than a Narco-Satire: A Story About Identity and Humani

Road House -- Why?

Road House is a 2024 Amazon MGM Studios movie directed by Doug Liman. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal with support from Conor McGregor and Billy Magnussen. It’s based on the 1989 Patrick Swayze movie, Road House. The original was a campy, cult classic given extra exposure by Family Guy. This new rehash of an old movie is available to watch on Prime Video. For his role, McGregor claims he was the highest-paid first-time actor ever. This may be true because clearly they didn’t spend any money on the supp

Christian Movies Have No Faith

It’s an inflammatory title, I know, but if that offended you, you’ll be even more upset when I tell you I’m not even Christian. I swear that my critique is in good faith, though. Even if I’m not a Christian, I consider myself a deeply spiritual person. I think there’s truth in most religions, Christianity included, so I still have a deep interest in and respect for the religion - that’s part of what led me to watch Mary in the first place. Unfortunately, though, I can now say with certainty that
