Ready Player One 2018 Directed by Steven Spielberg Kids, this is a movie I've been excited about since I saw the first trailer nearly a year ago. You know what did it? It was that Back to the Future chime at the very end of it. Didn't hurt that the DeLorean plays a pretty big … Continue reading After Seeing Ready Player One

A Strange Connection?
Kids, I have a theory that would connect two seemingly very different stories. Are you ready? Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Tom Hanks classic Big both take place in the same fictional world. Yeah. Let that settle in. Some of you may be scoffing. Others may not even remember what Big is all about. … Continue reading A Strange Connection?

Strangers
There's a new slasher movie that came out recently called The Strangers: Prey at Night. It's a sequel to The Strangers, a film that came out 10 years ago. I went to see this new sequel today.

Instead, I'm going to provide my list before going through them one by one. Is that cool with everyone? Okay, good... Back to the … Continue reading My Top 100 Movies
Granite Dreams
A little over a week ago, I began seeing this floating around the internet...I just want to say to @alexissantoraaa, this is brilliant. And I think it could inspire a hilarious movie. Hear me out... I picture it starring Jason Bateman, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and Zach Galifianakis. It could start out with a City … Continue reading Granite Dreams
Is It Lazy Movie Making?
I like a certain amount of realism in my movies. I know, this coming from a guy whose favorite movies usually involve guys who wear capes and can fly. But when you're telling a story that fits in the real world, it should be told in realistic ways. For example, when your movie opens in … Continue reading Is It Lazy Movie Making?
