Movies, Music, and Food Through the Lens of Ryan Thompson
Man, from all of the trailers and (even) advertisements of this movie, I was expecting “Dora & The Lost City of Gold” to be the lowest of the low like a Happy Madison comedy. I felt like my childhood was going to have its worst nightmare. Thank god this turned out to be the most […]
Quentin Tarantino is wildly known by many (including me) as one of the most ingenious filmmakers working today. He changed the word “cinema” forever in every shape of form after winning his Palme D’or award for “Pulp Fiction” at the Cannes Film Festival in 1994. Two weeks ago, I saw his latest flick “Once Upon […]
Ahhh…..two months later, we insert us back into the world of useless Disney remakes that actually have merit. Jon Favreau, three years ago, did an outstanding remake that outdid the Disney original which would be “The Jungle Book”. When seeing the trailer for his remake of “The Lion King”, it looked like it would kind […]
The next and coming week on Friday, July 19, singles rookie-sensation Paul Oyama is going to face a competitor that is an absolute legend in the Schmoedown League, “Dangerous” Dan Murrell, whom recently defended the belt towards William Bibbiani three months ago in April. Ever since his first match, Oyama’s down-to-earth personality brought some of […]
The tragic events of “Avengers: Endgame” has affected not just the audience, but in the movie’s perspective, Peter Parker, in “Spider-Man: Far From Home”. When comparing it to “Homecoming” two years ago, it kind of is a step down from that movie, but still director Jon Watts does deliver a really good package of fun […]
It will be a sad day on December 31, 2019 when the amazing decade of the 2010’s will conclude. So many filming techniques were created to see people’s lives like “First Reformed” with the 16mm-style aspect ratio, “The Artist” filmed in black-and-white hardly without any dialogue, and “Cold War” having shot like a film from […]
Man. I did not expect Bleecker Street to be one of the best independent companies working today after all of the underwhelming films A24 released recently this year (I’m talking to you, “The Souvenir”). “The Tomorrow Man” greatly represents this statement making it out to be one of the more memorable romantic comedies in recent […]
It’s kind of upsetting from my own perspective that A24 does not deliver memorable movies this year. I mean the only two I can think off the top of my head are “Gloria Bell” and sort of “Climax”. Those films at least had stories to tell and feel fresh. With last year, you could name […]
Finding gold in a silver mine (“Honky Cat” reference) might be an expert task when finding such a unique and memorable biopic that is “out, out, out of sight” like Dexter Fletcher’s “Rocketman”. Unlike last year’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” where it still was a good movie of course, it played the music biopic treatment way too […]
In the ever so gob-stopping world of Illumination Entertainment, there are Minions that make you pull your hair and cash-grabs that give kids a genuine smile. Meanwhile, Chris Meledandri’s big-boss attitude alerts his co-workers, “We made a lot of money on ‘The Secret Life of Pets’. It might be a rip-off of ‘Toy Story’ to […]
