I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that Nicholas Cage has been cast as Joe Exotic in the upcoming biopic based on his life. Sure, I’m about a month late on all the Tiger King talk, but it’s always fun to speculate about the casting of a biopic, especially with such a primitive, dysfunctional group of people.

In 2018, we saw the emergence of many coming of age romantic comedy movie tropes with movies like The Kissing Booth, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, Sierra Burgess is a Loser and Love, Simon all being released within an 8-month period. All of these movies had a different aspect that would allow a vast range of people to […]

Many have not heard of Primer, which is understandable. It won the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, but was […]
The Lighthouse is a psychological horror film that may be the very best movie 2019 has to offer. Coming out in late October, I was only able to view it recently and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. It’s refreshing after all the movies I watched over the break, as many of them reused ideas or sequels. It was […]
