Movies, Music, and Food Through the Lens of Ryan Thompson
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 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 […]
2019 is truly shaping up to be an amazing year for movies. Okay, sure. It’s not going to become another 1999 where we had masterpieces like “The Matrix”, “Fight Club”, “Magnolia”, and “Being John Malkovich”. But for the most part, we had some excellent gems in 2019 like recently with “Booksmart” and especially “Avengers: Endgame”. […]
Let me give you three wishes processing through my mind while I anticipated this remake. The first one would be for Will Smith to stay his own character instead of intentionally copying the legendary Robin Williams. The second would motivate Guy Ritchie to once again make a really good movie unlike “King Arthur: Legend of […]
Summer is beginning to fall with such promised hits like A24’s “The Souvenir” and “Booksmart”. Don’t worry. I will not exclude the blockbusters “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”. Gosh, do they look so amazing. But let’s not forget the most important aspect of the year, ladies and gentlemen, […]
