Denzel Washington is a movie star, and I don't think I've seen very many of his movies. It's funny when you watch a movie made 10+ years earlier with a marketable star because the rest of the cast is often filled out with people who were relevant at the time but might not be anymore. … Continue reading Out of Time (2003)

Jumper (2008)
The first time I saw Jumper it was truly amazing. It's a kid's wet dream. You have a power and you use it to go wherever you want and become rich. It's perfect.

The Intern (2015)
The Intern is awesome. It's heartwarming, brightly-lit, and every character manages to smile.

Adam Devine and Anders Holm came to fame through the tv show Workaholics, known … Continue reading The Intern (2015)

I’m not a big horror movie fan. Well, I am, but I’m not. I love horror movies. I love watching … Continue reading The Gallows (2015)
You’ve Got Mail (1998)
I started a blog. It's just going to be some of my thoughts and observations, and no one will read it, most likely. That's all you need to know. I studied film in college, and I used to write film essays. I miss writing essays. So I'm working on a new one. Last night I … Continue reading You’ve Got Mail (1998)
