[Double Feature] Extinction

9/20/2018

by Shannon
David: Some stories and movies are built on a really excellent idea, like what if there was a giant shark that started eating people outside a small town (Jaws) or what if a young sociopath...
Shannon: When I first turned on this movie I remember thinking that I wasn’t a huge fan of “horror sci-fi movies with children in them” because well, to be honest, the children annoy me...

[Double Feature] Thoroughbreds

David: These definitions are important to understanding the movie that is Cory Finley’s debut feature Thoroughbreds. We open with Amanda (Olivia Cooke of...
Shannon: I would not call this a comedy, other than that the fact that a lot of the conversations and interactions between the characters are awkward, that’s about all that’s comedic...

[Review] A Simple Favor

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I immediately was reminded of Pretty Little Liars. From what little the trailer showed us, this fact alone really intrigued me in wanting to see this movie, along with the fact of the two leading actresses. As David said in his All I See Is You review, Lively has been all over the map when it comes to movies ever since Gossip Girl ended. There have been some good ones, Shallows for example, and there have been some bad ones, All I See is You for example. A Simple Favor however...

[Double Feature] Landline

David: Jenny Slate, maybe better known as the voice behind Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, is a pretty terrific comedian, who is also extremely approachable as an actress...
Shannon: This is yet another movie that has a short run time, but feels like it’s never ending. The film itself follows two sisters, played by Jenny Slate and Abby Quinn, who find...

[Review] Your Name

Your Name. took Japan by storm upon its release in 2016/2017. It was one of Japan’s highest grossing films, and it’s not hard to see why. Director/Write Makoto Shinkai has taken a medium that is normally best reserved for hand-drawn media and has shown that digitally you can create something just as beautiful, in art as well as in story.

[Double Feature] All I See Is You

9/12/2018

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Since Blake Lively did Gossip Girl and Green Lantern, her movies have just been all over the map. The Shallows is probably one of her more critically successful, though I thought it...
Shannon: So I had an idea as to what this movie would be about, but I wasn’t prepared for what transcribed across the screen. I felt like I was watching a kaleidoscope while on drugs...

[Double Feature] Harbinger Down

by Shannon
David: One of the best things about many of the horror movies that I love is their use of practical effects to create an image that is absolutely icky. I think most of the best monsters are...
Shannon: Yet another movie where some kind of organism is “accidentally” released and murders all. This film felt a lot like Life, honestly, I could totally see this movie being a sequel...

[Double Feature] Avengers: Infinity War

by Shannon
David: I’m probably in the minority out here in the amateur critic world. I really enjoyed Avengers: Infinity War, all three times that I’ve watched it. However, I’m not going to sing its praises...
Shannon: Infinity War is a compilation of everyone we’ve seen so far in the Marvel Universe (minus all the X-Men that is). The story itself intertwines the Guardians of the Galaxy stories...

[Double Feature] The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby

9/6/2018

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Is it any wonder that this movie would eventually show up on the site? As some of you may know, I’m a HUGE Beatles fan, to the point that I may or may not have ink on my body to prove it...
Shannon: First of all, I love Jessica Chastain. Second of all, this movie was not entertaining at all. And third of all, David and I watched different versions of this movie. Why you ask? Because...

[Review] Captain Harlock: Space Pirate

To date, the most recent anime films that I’ve covered have been the more traditional animation style. Here, the animation team chooses to forego this traditional style in the adaptation of this classic manga story in order to give us a hyper realized animation. This 3D generation, which has become much more popular in video games as our computers have the ability to keep up with our eyes, is one of the true standouts of the film. Though there are a few moments..

[Double Feature] Donnie Darko

9/6/2018

 
by David
by Shannon
David: It had been a long time since I had watched this movie – probably nearly ten years. So it was as close to going into a film that I’ve already seen fresh as I could get. And while some...
Shannon: The synopsis of this movie is a teenager (Jake Gyllenhaal, title role) hallucinates a man in a rabbit suit who then gets him to do these horrible things around town. It’s also about the...
