‘Kubo And The Two Strings’ (2016) Review
Kubo And The Two Strings (2016) Review: Music To My Eyes Sometimes, especially in the summer, film’s status as an art form tends to be forgotten. I guess it’s because when we think of art, we think of it as something that you have to “get” before you can relate
‘Hell Or High Water’ (2016) Review
Hell Or High Water (2016) Review: Old Fashioned Modern Western The Western genre is classic in every sense of the word. Inherently their movies are love letters to a bygone era, not just in filmmaking, but life itself. They’re designed to be extremely simple stories, that instantly resonate with audiences.
‘Sausage Party’ (2016) Review
Sausage Party (2016) Review: Dark, Biting, Cartoon Comedy Anthropomorphisized animation is nothing new. There are probably hundreds of movies featuring a thing or creature being brought to life. It makes sense. There’s definitely comedy to be found anytime you give human features to a non human. It’s probably the best
‘Pete’s Dragon’ (2016) Review
Pete’s Dragon (2016) Review: My Furry Friend And Me. Calling something a “Family film” is a strange bit of marketing. When I hear that I think here’s a movie that won’t offend you, be very charming, and probably make you cry a little. At the very best it might have
‘Jason Bourne’ (2016) Review
Jason Bourne (2016) Review: Bourne. Again. Last year, if you paid any attention to the movies, you might have noticed quite a few spy movies came out. You had new spies in ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ and ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E’, and all the old guys came out to play
‘Ghostbusters’ (2016) Review
Ghostbusters (2016) Review: A Funny Kind Of Awkward Whatever happened to remakes and sequels? I realize I’m about to argue the artistic integrity of a practice that involves recycling the same stories. I know that’s not a winning stance to take, but in my eyes, these movies used to at
‘The Legend of Tarzan’ (2016) Review
The Legend of Tarzan (2016) Review: As we reach the middle of the summer blockbuster season, I think it’s time to acknowledge: This is a really weird summer. After the explosive way it began with ‘Captain America: Civil War’, week after week has been a constant stream of movies that
‘Finding Dory’ (2016) Review
Finding Dory (2016) Review: Just Keep Feeling I’ve now reached a point in my life where the unnecessary sequels that are being made are based off of movies that I saw in their initial release. The feeling of a beloved story that may be muddled by the cash grab disguised as the
‘Kingston Paradise’ (2016) Review
Kingston Paradise (2013) Review: Glory & Grit The Jamaican film industry is not overburdened by choice. The adage best equipped to describe it is quality over quantity. With such a small group to choose from, it’s not difficult for viewers to set one film as the standard of all Jamaican
