⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 8 out of 10. As if I wasn’t going to dip my toe in for more Peter Sellers! Yes, the pre-eminent British comedian returns, but nine years earlier than Dr. Strangelove in 1955 comedy The Ladykillers – yet, Sellers isn’t the one that steals the show… The plot is simple, yet oh-so-effective: dapper […]

Memento: The Thriller That’s Impossible To Forget
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 8.5 out of 10. SPOILERS! As I write these reviews, I (mostly…) attempt to tentatively link each film to similar ones in a sort of theme, I guess, over a longer period of time.

But if you’re fine with a […]

House of Gucci Trailer Gives me Hope for Fall Films
House of Gucci is in my top 3 of Most Anticipated Films coming out later this year. (The other two being Dune and Last Night in Soho.) And I have to say the first trailer… it did not disappoint. Now if someone could just explain that Burberry ad to me. This just looks like so […]

When All That’s Left is Love (2019)
