Movie Review – Devotion
—
in WarDirected 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.

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…

Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – First View Review of First Blood
Whenever you hear of a film with Rambo in the title, you’ll no doubt think of wall to wall violence, tidal waves of blood, and a soundtrack consisting mainly of gunshots, screams, and explosions. You may also think of bulging biceps as Rambo hauls back on the string of a bow so he can pick…

Indie Movie Review – Jurassic Thunder
Fancy something totally bizarre and ludicrous? Jurassic Thunder is your baby! So you have a secret base with weaponized dinosaurs… I’ll just let that sink in for a second. As if dinosaurs weren’t scary enough, imagine a T-Rex with a huge gun strapped to its head. Then, they are your last line of defense and…
