The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) Review – The Little Movie That Could

Posted on By Luke 2 Comments on The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) Review – The Little Movie That Could

The Peanut Butter Falcon is a tiny, gentle film we don’t see anymore. And before people jump on me with examples of indie films, hear me out. What I am talking about is having stars (Dakota Johnson, Bruce Dern), a few character actors (Thomas Haden Church, John Hawkes) and one problematic yet excellent actor (Shia LaBeouf) come together…

It: Chapter Two (2019) Review – Bigger, Longer… and Worse

Posted on By Luke No Comments on It: Chapter Two (2019) Review – Bigger, Longer… and Worse

As I’ve mentioned in my review for It (2017, my review here), I had little to no knowledge of this story. I have yet to read the book, have not watched the mini-series from 1990, but even I knew that the story was split into two eras. And given the first It movie was such a success, both critically and money-wise…

Midsommar (2019) Review – Come to Sweden, They Said. It Will Be Fun, They Said

Posted on By Luke No Comments on Midsommar (2019) Review – Come to Sweden, They Said. It Will Be Fun, They Said

As with Ari Aster’s previous movie Hereditary (2018), Midsommar is… wild. And that is still underselling it. But unlike Hereditary, this is one of the rare horror/thriller films set (mostly) during the day in the light. And it doesn’t make it any less effective or creepy. Ari Aster has quickly become one of the directors to watch both of his films I really…

Russian Doll Review (Seasons 1) – Plenty of Potential

Posted on By Luke No Comments on Russian Doll Review (Seasons 1) – Plenty of Potential

Russian Doll is one of those shows I’ve heard a lot about ever since it came out. And given the fact I love Natasha Lyonne, who is not only the main star but also one of the creative brains behind this show (alongside Leslye Headland and Amy Poehler! Yes, the Amy Poehler!) I knew it wouldn’t be long before I…

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Review – Like a Warm, Cosy Blanket

Posted on By Luke No Comments on A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Review – Like a Warm, Cosy Blanket

First things first – I didn’t grow up watching Fred Rogers in any way, as that character (of course I am referring to Mr Rogers) isn’t known at all in the “mighty” Czech Republic. And I haven’t seen the critically acclaimed documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (2018) yet, but I have heard amazing things about it. To the…

Black Christmas (2019) Review – A Slow Burning Mess

Posted on By Luke No Comments on Black Christmas (2019) Review – A Slow Burning Mess

Oh, Jesus-tap-dancing-Christ. Where do I start with this? Ok, first things first – whenever I find out that a movie is a remake, I try to watch the original first, to see what has been done where, what was improved, what wasn’t, you know. So I went into this film right after watching the original Black…
