Movie Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

Reviewed August 25, 2021 Certainly one of the stranger films I’ve ever seen, this is the story about a man who is born old and ages backwards as time progresses. It’s first and foremost a love story, and a fantastically odd one at that, but the best comparison I would have is a 100% seriousContinue reading “Movie Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)”

Movie Review: Free Guy (2021)

Movie Review: The Suicide Squad (2021)

4.25/5 Reviewed August 7, 2021 The not actually a sequel, not actually a reboot to the 2016 disaster of a film, this one has a few returning favorites and a whole slew of new B-list villains on a mission to destroy an evil government project. It’s certainly a treat. Written and directed by James GunnContinue reading “Movie Review: The Suicide Squad (2021)”
