Joker Review: Disturbingly Beautiful

Danny King — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 02:07:07 +0000

In a society that is dominated by pop-culture, an entertainment industry that is ruled by action-packed formulaic superhero blockbusters, and an era that prioritizes progress over civility, it’s refreshing to watch a movie as bold, stylistic, and uncomfortable as Joker. As much as I love movies like Avengers: Endgame, Deadpool, The Dark Knight, and others …

Good Boys! Review: R-Rated Diary of a Wimpy Kid Adaptation We Deserve

Danny King — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 03:35:18 +0000

Wow. It is genuinely surprising how Gene Stupnitsky directed a raunchy comedy revolving around three sixth-grade boys and actually made it a good movie. It shouldn’t work. It should be boycotted, banned, and forgotten. Thank God it won’t be. First and foremost, for those who will worry about the appropriateness of this “tween” movie, you …

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: It Might Just Be Perfect

Danny King — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 20:19:13 +0000

I was as excited as anyone when the first trailers for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Versedropped. That is to say, not very. It looked fine, but Sony had its chance at Spider-Man and blew it, along with my trust. Then early reviews offered nothing but high praise, so I saw it. I still cannot believe how close …

Bumblebee:Overrated, but Still a Great Movie…For Your Kids

Danny King — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 20:02:57 +0000

The Transformers franchise has always been divisive, to put it mildly. In 2007, Michael Bay’s first run at Transformers made over $700,000,000 worldwide with a critical score of 57% on Rotten Tomatoes. Since then, Bay has directed four sequels that produced an average Rotten Tomatoes critical score of just under 22% as well as a fairly steep …

Aquaman:Is Fun All DC Needs?

Danny King — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 19:40:52 +0000

Aquaman is absolutely gorgeous. This cannot be overstated. Director James Wan and Cinematographer Don Burgess crafted an absolutely beautiful work of art in the latest film in DC’s mixed bag of movies. Every shot, no matter its location or importance to the overall plot, is stunning. The fight scenes are artistic, brutal, and easy to follow. …

“Vice”

Danny King — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 08:29:31 +0000

Vice, Adam McKay’s newest addition to his bizarre roster of works, is incredibly designed, written, performed, and edited and therefore deserves the attention and praise it demands; however, this movie isn’t made for everyone. Vice tells the story of Dick Cheney, the Machiavelli of modern politics (played masterfully by a nearly unrecognizable Christian Bale), and his suspicious …

“Roma”:A Slow but Genius Work of Art

Danny King — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 08:04:07 +0000

“Roma,”Alfonso Cuarón’s semi-autobiographical masterpiece, is earning a surplus of national attention this year for its impeccable formal structure and cultural representation. Despite its troubled production, with a humble budget of $15 million, a cast of mostly untested and unknown actors, and a release as a Netflix Original Movie, Cuarón’s latest work of art has earned …
