Weekend Review: Yesterday
May 9, 2020 by JD DeLuzio Movies
Danny Boyle has grown increasingly gentle. The man who began his feature-film career with the pitch-dark comedy, Shallow Grave and achieved widespread fame for Trainspotting moved onto such films as the uplifting Slumdog Millionaire and the biopic Steve Jobs.
In 2019, he made an SF Rom-Com that also serves as a love letter to the Beatles and so, today, we’re going to review Yesterday.
Weekend Review: The Lighthouse (2019)
May 2, 2020 by JD DeLuzio Movies
What could be more appropriate now than a horror movie about two guys in isolation who drive each other crazy?
We haven’t had a Weekend Review for awhile, so I’m going to take this opportunity to annoy some of the Bureau and delight others by giving another generally positive review to an A24 production, last autumn’s The Lighthouse. After The Witch‘s success with many critics and niche audiences, Robert Eggers co-wrote and directed this strange little film, in which Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson get stuck together on an isolated island and lose their minds.
1933 – “Grand Hotel”
April 28, 2020 by W. Blaine Dowler 99 Years 100 Films, Academy Awards, Podcast 99 Years 100 Films, Movies, Podcasts
The first star-studded cast film.

Movie Review: The Call of the Wild (2020)
March 2, 2020 by JD DeLuzio Movies
We can post a discussion for Sonic the Hedgehog, if anyone asks, and we’ll have a review soon of The Invisible Man, see? But for now, we’re reviewing a Disney family movie that opened to… a disappointing box office. The Call of the Wild isn’t exactly our usual genre, but this adaptation does feature Harrison Ford and a LOT of CGI.
And I’m willing to bet quite a few people who check in on this site have read Jack London’s most famous work. If you haven’t, you probably should.
But should you see this most recent film adaptation?
1931 – “All Quiet on the Western Front”
February 28, 2020 by W. Blaine Dowler 99 Years 100 Films, Academy Awards, Podcast 99 Years 100 Films, Movies, Podcasts
A World War I film told from the perspective of the Germans.

Movie Review: Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
February 9, 2020 by JD DeLuzio Movies
The latest DC super-movie opened, a sequel to Suicide Squad that also functions as an origin for Birds of Prey. It under-performed at the box office on its first weekend and played to mixed reviews.
This review may be more mixed than many.
