Like several remakes of popular movies, Straight Outta Compton relies heavily on nostalgia and casting for success, instead of addressing glaring problems in the NWA narrative, and film. ‘Cruisin’ down the street in my ’64’ was a line that defined rap in 1988, the year I was born. Now, because I wasn’t there when the […]
I think Trainwreck was a train wreck. And this isn’t just because they touted it as a movie from the guy who brought you Bridesmaids (which, surprise! I didn’t like either) but also because I thought it was so comedically flat. It’s like they told Amy, hey! Write a movie! And she was like, I’m […]
What a waste of all my time. Hot Pursuit is a silly movie that clearly shows that Reese Witherspoon has almost no comedic acting chops (and she did used to – it’s quite sad, really) and Sofia Vergara is finally making really bad choices in her career.

I just watched Batman vs Robin, the animation. It has been a while since I have watched anything DC – and by a while, I mean Throne of Atlantis, which made me actually respect Aquaman lol (that, and Khal Drogo – erm, Jason Momoa, acting as him in the next movie. We can try and […]
