Movie Review – Brian Banks
I really love movies based on a true story. I’m always curious to see how the storyline will play out, and if it seems grossly embellished or not. Brian Banks is relatable and “reel” on so many levels. Yes, this movie can be categorized into the files of the “MeToo Movement” for sure, but…

Why Avatar Deserves to be the Number 1 Movie Over Avengers: Endgame
With Avengers: Endgame passing Avatar to become the highest grossing movie of all time, I’ve recently gotten into a lot of heated debates with my friends as to why I think Avatar is more deserving of #1. So I’m going to tell you — in a more calm manner than I do my friends —…

We Own It – Lyrics to the Fast & Furious 6 Movie Song
I’m binging through The Fast and The Furious franchise as a fresh newbie to get ready for Hobbs & Shaw. Music is as useful in scene setting these films as the sound of revving cars and screeching tires. (Also, the word “family” — which is the beating heart of this strangely affectionate flashy fantasy.) Although…

Movie Review – Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw
IMDb categorizes Hobbs & Shaw as: “action, adventure”. I think they should add “comedy” to that as well. The odd couple relationship between Hobbs & Shaw has been building since their “relationship” began in Fast and the Furious 7, and they milk it to great effect in this movie while simultaneously letting their relationship grow.…

Fast & Furious 1 & 4 Is Really ONE MOVIE
I finally watched a couple of Fast & Furious movies. Even though the upcoming film is called Hobbs & Shaw, I do know they are a F&F spin-off, and was curious about WHY WHY WHY there are all these movies out there about fast cars and criminals? Why these are movies so popular? I adore…

Hobbs & Shaw – The Entire Backstory from Fast and the Furious
The preview for Hobbs & Shaw looks like an exciting action comedy, but these two characters have a long backstory from the Fast and The Furious franchise.

Movie Review – Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood
—
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is, without question, the least enjoyable movie I’ve ever given an A+ to. The writing and directing are some of Tarantino’s best. The acting was as good as you’ll see. Leonardo DiCaprio was at his best, which let’s face it: is the best ever. Brad Pitt was fantastic. My…
