Jordan Peele’s “Nope” is Super Just Okay☁️

July 25, 2022July 25, 2022 Courtney Young2 Comments

There are a handful of recent movies that may have saved cinema (Top Gun: Maverick, anyone?), and Jordan Peele has done his damnest to be in that category this year. But, does he succeed?

Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis

July 5, 2022July 5, 2022 Courtney Young2 Comments

With a super-star like Elvis Presley, and a spectacle, maximalist director like Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, The Great Gatsby), one would think Elvis would be in the right hands. But, the dazzle of Elvis fades quickly in this monotonous biopic of the rise and fall of the King of Rock.

June 13, 2022 Courtney Young4 Comments

Bold and brutal storytelling slightly missed the mark for me with the Internet's recent favorite from Neon.

When I watched The Worst Person in the World, I wasn't expecting to have massive self-reflection on seeing my semi-autobiography.

The Northman is EPIC

When there is a Skarsgård brother tied to a movie, you can pretty much guarantee I'll sign up to watch it.

April 24, 2022 Courtney YoungLeave a comment

In an era where nearly everyone suffers from superhero fatigue, did we really need this installment in the Batman franchise?

I think I just saw the greatest movie of 2021, and I'm screaming because general audiences are sleeping on it.

“Don’t Look Up” is Such a Chore

January 5, 2022January 5, 2022 Courtney Young7 Comments

What do you get when you combine some of the biggest names in Hollywood with one of the greatest plots of the year? Surprisingly, a greater disaster than it's foreboding synopsis. 😭

Spencer is Hauntingly Sad

November 30, 2021November 30, 2021 Courtney YoungLeave a comment

Both haunting and elegant, Spencer brilliantly conveys all of Diana's anguish in what would be one of the most important weekends to shape her future with the royal family.
