Jojo Rabbit is the Best of 2019 Thus Far

October 18, 2019October 18, 2019 Courtney Young6 Comments

If you want to see the best movie of 2019, look no further. Jojo Rabbit is officially on my Oscar watch-list. And, yes. It's possible to make a good comedy about Hitler.

I saw Joker last weekend, and I still feel uncomfortable. Does anyone know where I can find Joaquin Phoenix? I'd like to deliver his Oscar personally.

Rocketman is Delectable Garbage

June 11, 2019July 3, 2019 Courtney Young12 Comments

For someone like Elton John, one of the most famous musical artists in the world, with over 300 million albums sold, you would have thought the writers of Rocketman would have put a little more effort into drafting a decent script.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)

May 6, 2019May 6, 2019 Courtney Young13 Comments

Netflix's Ted Bundy movie is anything but extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile. It's  the opposite of what the title suggests, and that's kind of disappointing.

Us Movie Poster

Us is one of the reasons why I love going to the movies; some critics loved it, while others hated it. No matter your opinion, everyone is talking about it.
