In 1999, one film changed pop culture forever. The Matrix was a groundbreaking piece of cinema not just for its unique storytelling but for the unprecedented technology used to bring such an ambitious world to life. In 2003, The Matrix Reloaded premiered showcasing a flashier but arguably lesser sequel compared to its predecessor. Still, in […]Read More
“The best relationships are the ones you didn’t expect to be in, the ones you never even saw coming.” – unknown This is the kind of movie that hurts to see simply because of the potential squandered for something so unsatisfying. I’ve heard it said and I don’t think it takes an experienced filmmaker to […]Read More
“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.” – Rick Warren I walked into this one completely trusting the history of MARVEL’s previous movies having liked most if not all of them. While I think some definitely fall short of the rest, they still managed to be entertaining, […]Read More
“I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” – Maya Angelou I become more disillusioned as I get older with this idea that just because a studio is involved with one great movie, that any others they’re associated with should automatically be the same. “From the […]Read More
“All houses in which men have lived and suffered and died are haunted houses.” – Mary Roberts Rinehart Maybe I’m out of the loop a bit considering the last year and half but it feels far too long since that last really impactful horror film was released. The Night House has arrived to fill this […]Read More
Hey Nerds, Do you like movies? Of course you do! Do you like free movies?! Who doesn’t? Maybe your weird neighbor with the cats but we don’t talk to them. Through us at Nerdlocker and our friends at gofobo.com we would like to offer you some tickets to see Free Guy this very evening, Wednesday, […]Read More
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein There’s a lot going on these days to justify people’s pessimism but there’s also a ton to be grateful for; small, some might say insignificant things but hey, we all have to get through the day somehow. In the last five years […]Read More
“I now understand why people go mad over nothing. Sometimes the mind is a terrible place.” – unknown I don’t want to speak too soon. There are many DC movies on the way, a lot of room for error there. That said, maybe, just maybe, it seems the executives at DC and Warner Bros. have […]Read More
“There is not one big cosmic meaning for all; there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.” – Anais Nin I’m not exactly what you might call a believer. What happens when life ends? Probably nothing. But […]Read More
“Arise and shine. Arise and fulfill your destiny.” – Lailah Gifty Akita I think it’s necessary for the sake of transparency to preface this review by saying The Green Knight is the kind of film in need of research and multiple viewings in order to fully understand it. Since it’s barely being released as I […]Read More
“Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.” – C.S. Lewis These days Disney seems busy doing one of two things; either they’re adapting one of their animated films into live action or they are adapting an attraction from Disneyland into a feature film. A remake of The Haunted […]Read More
“Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.” – Thomas Edison The Purge movies can be a bit rudimentary at times with mindless, excessive violence and one dimensional characters. However basic they may be there is no denying […]Read More
“Some things can’t be ignored. You can only conquer your past if you choose to face it.” – Linda Wisdom I’m not sure why it took until phase 4 for the Black Widow character to get her own movie but I can say it was worth the wait. What little I know about the MARVEL […]Read More
“I live my life a quarter mile at a time… For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.” – Dominic Toretto What can I say about this franchise at this point that hasn’t already been said ad nauseam? It’s ridiculous and over-the-top? You already know that. It should have ended five movies ago? Again, you […]Read More
“A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard.” – Bruce Lee After the first movie ended I knew what kind of movie it was; the kind that audiences would love and (jaded) critics would loathe. I was right. And now with the second it elicits […]Read More
“Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little push.” -The Joker Heralded as the Joker of the Disney world, Cruella is an origin story intent on humanizing an otherwise wholly despised villain. Embodying the black and white villainess and to a brilliant extent is Emma Stone. While it follows certain typical Disney tropes, […]Read More
“It’s in my nature to be kind, gentle, and loving, but know this: When it comes to matters of protecting my friend, my family, and my heart, do not trifle with me. For I am also the most powerful and relentless creature you will ever know.” – Unknown It’s rare that such an impact is […]Read More
“I want to play a game.” – Jigsaw If anyone from Lionsgate ever sees this: PLEASE STOP MAKING SAW MOVIES! Thank you. Sincerely, anyone with a sliver of self-respect and taste. I could make the argument that everything before this point had some validity to its existence. From the original Saw to the much maligned […]Read More
