ultrashort movie review: Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker ****

I wouldn’t say I’m a big Star Wars fan but I have seen 8 out of 9 of the core movies and I enjoyed Rogue One, Solo, and The Mandalorian. I don’t have the perspective of a die hard fan. … Continue reading

ultrashort movie review: Inside Llewyn Davis **

I saw this a week ago and still don’t know how much I like it. I really liked the music. I’ll definitely grab the soundtrack. Aside from that, I don’t think this is among the Coen Brothers’s best work. The … Continue reading

ultrashort movie review: American Hustle ***

This is a fine movie. It’s fun, there are definitely funny moments, it kept me intrigued. Amy Adams shows lots of side-boob which is nice. Everyone in this movie is a pro but Jeremy Renner steals the show. Oh, and … Continue reading

Fantastic. Everyone did a great job in this. Some of DiCaprio’s best work. Jonah Hill is great in this.

ultrashort movie review: Captain Phillips ****

Intense action and engaging acting kept me riveted. Barkhad Abdi’s portrayal put a face on Somali piracy and showed humanity. Tom Hanks did a great job as usual. The hand-held camera work was distracting at first but I got used … Continue reading

Ultrashort Movie Review: Gravity *****

The most terrifying movie in theaters. See it in 3D. Bullock and Clooney nail it.

ultrashort movie review: The World’s End ***

Not bad, but I expected more out of the final installment of the Cornetto Trilogy. Kind of a disappointment after Shaun and Fuzz. Watch it if you are a fan of these guys but don’t expect wall-to-wall laughs.

ultrashort movie review: 2 Guns ****

Seriously hilarious. Denzel Washington is great and Mark Wahlberg kills it with one of his funniest roles yet. Action-packed and fun.
