Movie Review – Oppenheimer

I realize my opinion may cut against the grain of popular opinion, but that’s never stopped me before. 🙂 What I liked The best thing about this movie is the superb acting, and not just by Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer. In general, the acting by the entire cast is fantastic, which is a testament to […]

Movie Review – Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant

I’m finding a hard time thinking of anything positive to say about this movie, with the exception of the acting. That’s where this movie shines. I’m sure Jake Gyllenhaal will get heaps of praise, as he deserves, for his performance as Sergeant John Kinley. But, I think Dar Salim—as Ahmed, the interpreter—had the harder role […]

Movie Review – Devotion

Directed by: J. D. Dillard Written by: Jake Crane, Jonathan Stewart, Adam Makos Cast: Jonathan Majors, Glen Powell, Christina Jackson Swift shot: It’s a rare achievement to make a boring war movie, but Devotion found a way. There was no earned payoff from any of the characters, and while it was uplifting and perhaps mostly historically accurate, I felt no emotional […]

Christmas Classic First Watch Review – Stalag 17 (1953)

Now, before we get too far into this, let me make one thing clear. This is, most definitely, a film set at Christmas rather than a Christmas film. However, the remit was to include every film that has a Christmas tree, Christmas card, a red nosed reindeer, or mentions Christmas. Stalag 17 is set in […]

Movie Review – Devotion

It’s hard not to give this movie a higher grade than a C+, but it lacks the polish that comes with a higher grade. Overall the acting was good, with a few moments of greatness. But it felt like there was a distance between the actor and the audience. There are too many scenes of […]

Indie Movie Review – Echoes Of The Past (2021)

Let me get something straight right from the start. Echoes Of The Past was quite hard work. Not because it was badly made or acted but because it was based on a true story that was one of the most appalling examples of humanity or, more accurately, the lack of it: The Kalavryta Massacre (Σφαγή […]

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Dog?

There are extras during the end credits of Dog. At the very end of the credits is an on-screen message: in memory of LuLu. LuLu is not a true story but is based on Channing Tatum’s relationship with a dog he rescued in 2008 named LuLu. You can read more in the movie review. The credits […]

Movie Review – Dog

The movie Dog explores how war veterans, including dogs, struggle to cope with life after serving. Dog isn’t the feel-good comedy that the trailers make it out to be; at the same time, it’s not dark and depressing throughout. I would hazard to call Dog a gritty-real movie, but take that with a grain of salt because I’ve not served in […]
