Sharptooth Gives Listeners a Rude Awakening With Clever Girl (Review)
First things first. Sharptooth’s album Clever Girl kicks ass. I love punk rock, some of my favorite bands being The Replacements and Minor Threat. Punk thrives on a platform of adversity, with a system to brazenly rail against without a thought of consequence. Punk...
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is Back & Looking Better Than Ever (Review)
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga was originally released in 2003 for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance and it launched one of my favorite series from Nintendo: the Mario & Luigi RPGs. The visuals and sounds have been updated and there's also a mode called "Bowsers...
Only the Brave is An Authentic & Heart Wrenching Tribute to the Granite Mountain Hotshots (Review)
I'll be the first to admit that when I first saw the trailer for Only the Brave earlier this year, I didn't think it looked all that good. All I thought was "Oh great, here's another cliché biopic." Well, I'm here to say that I was COMPLETELY wrong. Only the Brave is...
Mindhunter: So Good That We’re Already Dying For Season Two (Review)
Mindhunter is another 2017 hit from Netflix, no doubt. Headed by the brilliant David Fincher, Mindhunter's analytical writing and "Fincher Stamp" makes it a fantastic watch. The show is extremely slow burning and filled will intense characters and poised direction. It...

Happy Death Day: Unapologetically a Groundhog Day Remake, Now With Teens! (Review)
I think I must have heard about Happy Death Day before I saw it. And I’m pretty sure I scoffed and forgot about it. Make Groundhog Day into a horror film? I had only one question: why? Why would you do that? How did this get made? Groundhog Day is a classic and...
The Florida Project is An Innovative & Brilliant Perspective on Poor America (Review)
The Florida Project is one of those rare movies that is short on plot, but heavy on realism. Sean Baker proves that he should be regarded as one of the best character directors working today. The Florida Project feels completely unscripted, and that's what makes it so...
Marshall: Cardboard Cut-Out Courtroom Drama & That’s About It (Review)
Marshall tells the story of Thurgood Marshall and a career defining case that he takes on in Connecticut during 1962. This is one of the most important, shocking, and interesting cases of his career and I wish I could say the movie did it justice. Sadly, Marshall is...
