The Best Films of 2017

Posted on December 23, 2017 by pred3000

Everyone talks about how 2016 was the year that sanity and reason finally collapsed. 2017 existed to prove us wrong. There were literal Nazi protests that saw someone standing up against hate murdered, there is a “president” who is barely … Continue reading →

Call Me By Your Name – The Most Problematic Movie of 2017

Posted on December 3, 2017 by pred3000

Every year, there is always one film that all the critics seem to love but doesn’t connect with me. Films like The Revenant, which won DiCaprio an Oscar but which I found to be all style and no substance. This year, that … Continue reading →

A Review of Blade Runner 2049

Posted on October 8, 2017 by pred3000

My biggest concern with Blade Runner 2049 is that the creators would use it as an opportunity to remake the first film with a bigger budget rather than delve deeper into the  fascinating world that the first film created. Think … Continue reading →

A Review of mother!

Posted on September 17, 2017 by pred3000

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog, mostly because August has become a desolate wasteland for films. (Although you should absolutely see Detroit and Logan Lucky if you get a chance.) Luckily we’re slowly getting into Oscar season, which means studios have … Continue reading →

There are two possible Christopher Nolan films. In his great films (Memento, The Dark Knight, Inception) Nolan starts with a central idea and allows everything to build from it. In his not so great films (Interstellar, The Dark Knight Rises) … Continue reading →

A Review of Atomic Blonde

Posted on August 1, 2017 by pred3000

The John Wick franchise has received a lot of critical praise. Most viewers see it as a return to the great, choreographed action films of the past. I’ve heard people talk about how it ranks with Die Hard. I was … Continue reading →

A Review of War for the Planet of the Apes

Posted on July 21, 2017 by pred3000

I really enjoyed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It took the first film as a starting point and focused on the apes actually creating a society from scratch. It wasn’t another mindless action film, but a film about … Continue reading →

A Review of Baby Driver

Posted on July 3, 2017 by pred3000

Most directors don’t pay attention to the past very much. Those that do make borrowing from the past their entire shtick. They want to be congratulated for remembering an obscure crime film from 1978. It’s wonderful to have a filmmaker … Continue reading →

A Review of Wonder Woman

Posted on June 16, 2017 by pred3000

I’m at a loss. There’s a part of me that wants to be happy Wonder Woman exists at all and has been critically and commercially successful. This may come as an enormous shock to people, but female comic book characters … Continue reading →
