Kevin Hart is comedy gold, and he has to be one of the busiest actors in America. In The Man from Toronto, Hart is in his element, and playing against Woody Harrelson makes for some funny moments. Director Patrick Hughes makes the best of his actors, but the story, written by Robbie Fox and Chris… Continue reading THE MAN FROM TORONTO

THE BLACK PHONE
With creative partners Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill not able to see eye-to-eye with Marvel/Disney on their plans for the Doctor Strange sequel, the two filmmakers decided to do a simpler, smaller-scale horror movie. And I absolute believe that cinema is all the better for it. Not only did we get treated to a… Continue reading THE BLACK PHONE
ELVIS
Going into this movie I had my qualms. While I enjoyed most of what I saw in the official trailer of the film, I cringed when it came to Tom Hanks’ performance as Colonel Tom Parker. I was very much worried that his performance thoughout the film would totally tank this movie, and well, I… Continue reading ELVIS
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN
In the 1976 British Open Championship golf tournament, an amateur golf enthusiast managed to get accepted as a competitor and made history as the worst scoring golfer in the competition’s history. That man is none other than Maurice Flitcroft. Flitcroft, a shipyard crane-operator by trade, apparently wanted to pursue a new career as a professional… Continue reading THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN

LIGHTYEAR
Buzz Lightyear is back, but in not exactly in the way most fans remember the character. Most Toy Story fans know and love the character as a Space Ranger action figure who has belonged to children Andy and Bonnie. However, this is not another Toy Story movie. In the foreword of the film, it is… Continue reading LIGHTYEAR
JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION
Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live–and hunt–alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures in a new Era (IMDB).… Continue reading JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION
JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION
Well, hopefully this franchise will now finally conclude. It started off so well, but because people love action-packed monster movies, Hollywood hopes to milk this desire for every penny. Though I enjoyed (to various degrees) the first trilogy of Jurassic Park, I have never been a massive fan of the “reboot” trilogy that has struggled… Continue reading JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION
1982
From Lebanon, comes a very moving and affecting film that focuses on the human impact of the the 1982 Lebanon War, from the perspective of the people, simply trying to live their normal lives. Writer/director Oualid Mouaness tells a fictional story that feels very real and relatable by taking place within the confines of a… Continue reading 1982
