First off, a major thank you to a. hurtado for letting me know that this IMAX re-release was happening! I had no idea they were doing this and I would have been extremely bummed out to have missed it, so I appreciate you telling me about it more than you could know. I had been looking forward to this night for the last couple weeks because Ex Machina is an all-time favorite of mine.

This was my first ever IMAX…

Ever since I first saw Interstellar last June, it instantly became my favorite movie I’ve ever seen. That has not changed since, nor do I anticipate it changing anytime soon. Maybe ever.

When I saw the movie for the first time, I watched it on my iPad. As much as a disservice I was unknowingly doing to myself, the movie still felt larger than life. I felt all the emotions that Christopher Nolan intended for his audience to feel, and…

Mary Brown really let herself go.

Bring Her Back is another wild horror film from the Philippou brothers. These dudes know how to make you squirm. That cantaloupe scene… Jesus Christ.

Bring Her Back’s concept is slightly weaker than the one from Talk to Me, but I believe that the lack of attention on the backstory is mostly to blame for this. Even though the origin of the embalmed hand in Talk to Me wasn’t fleshed out significantly either, the implications…

While watching Blue Velvet, I couldn’t help but to notice the multitude of similarities it shared with American Beauty, a film that came along 13 years later in 1999. American Beauty is a favorite of mine, so I have immense…

Losing a dog is a singular sort of pain. Just yesterday, I experienced it for the first time.

Her real name was Coconut, but as a result of the endless nicknames we created for her over the years, Coconut was practically the only name I didn’t call her. 

In the end, my dog not only became a part of my life - she became a part of me. That’s why it’s never going to be the same coming home without…

Presence was my first experience with Steven Soderbergh, and I have to say that I am beyond impressed. As much as the idea of this film intrigued me, I went into it with tempered expectations since the general reception for it has been mediocre. But as it turned out, I absolutely loved the way that this was executed from start to finish.

I can’t understand the criticism “It’s too slow” in the case of this film. The whole point of…
