I don't think it's a stretch to say that Michael Mann is best known for his film Heat. That movie is a certified classic and worthy of its own post at a later date after I give it another re-watch. But recently, I watched a different, slightly earlier Michael Mann movie once again, and while …

My Favorite Holiday Romantic Comedy
This is going to disappoint certain members of my family. Sorry, guys. I love Love Actually. I swear, I do. It's the OG ensemble film, a classic Christmas movie, and a really great romantic comedy--uh, drama--with incredible actors and all the feels. But my favorite holiday romantic comedy is, aptly named, The Holiday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDi5zH18vxU I don't even …
My Favorite Movie
I love a lot of movies... so many of them, probably too many. I love everything about movies. I pride myself on quoting classic lines from and identifying actors and actresses in numerous movies, even though both are tidbits of arguably useless information that I'm wasting precious space saving in my brain. I have full scenes …
Short Summary – Solo: A Star Wars Story
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoiler alert, just in case! Oh, Solo... Poor Solo.

Short Summary – The Departed
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoiler alert, just in case! The Departed doesn't tell us the story of a typical cat-and-mouse game. Instead, it shows us a game of two mice, crawling up and out of the gutters and chasing …
Short Summary – Black Panther
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. DEFINITELY SPOILERS! Black Panther joins Thor: Ragnarok, Ant-Man, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier in breaking out of the standard Marvel mold. These are some of the better movies in the MCU because they can stand on …
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Note: I deleted my "Longest Summary Yet" post to organize my ideas better and write a more refined review of this movie. Spoilers abound! It's been five months since Kingsman: The Golden Circle was released in theaters, and I still have thoughts about it. It's been that long, and I'm still disappointed by it, bordering on …
