#MichaelMovie is for the fans, as there are moments that make you want to dance in the aisle, and while Jaafar Jackson is great , once you get past the feel good moments, the movie becomes shallow, and lacks any humanity, and never reaches the nights of its subject.
I really hope this is the Thriller that I want it to be, if not I will beat it out of here #NowWatching. #Michael

Bob Odenkirk, action star , just keeps working , Normal is funny , brutal, and a fresh spin on a familiar formula. Not perfect , but Odenkirk makes it a blast. my review 👇 #NormalMovie

The Mummy looks great , but for all it does visually , it really doesn’t do much more than that ,as it lacks in scares and the narrative is spotty at best , and while it is a nasty movie , in the best ways , its over stuff runtime and other faults make it hard to get behind.
Thrash delivers exactly what it promises- hurricanes,sharks,and chaos. Easy, entertaining fun. My review 👇 #Thrash

Riz Ahmed goes all in with Hamlet-raw,intense, and hard to look away from. The film isn’t always visually smooth , but the performance alone makes it worth seeing. My review👇 #Hamlet

It’s formulaic,sure- but You, Me and Tuscany still works. Charming leads, beautiful setting , and just enough heart to win you over. My review 👇#YouMe&Tuscany

Faces of Death is a rather satisfying reboot and while
It is a little light on the gore , it still delivers a visceral experience that has some effective moments that really has a lot to say about what social media has done to our society. #FacesofDeath
The Drama has a cloud of unease that hangs around it, though most of its runtime and while the movie never goes fully into its premise , it is bound to set up some fabulous conversations after the credits roll. #TheDrama
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is filled with nostalgic references , and an all star cast , as the movie reminds me of a jelly doughnut, with too much jelly , sure it gets messy , but in the end you are still eating a jelly doughnut, and that’s a hell of a lot of fun .
I did now expect Mike&Nick&Nick&Alice to work , but does it ever . This film really is a blast and balances the fun and action very well, but what makes it work so well is the cast, but for me Jimmy Tato steals the show . #MikeNickNickAlice
Pretty Lethal has some pretty impressive action scenes , there ultimately doesn’t feel like the movie has much direction and lacks really any foundation to support what it wants to be ,and instead of something flawless, we get we get something that mostly feels out of stepped #PrettyLethal
They Will Kill You is messy,violent,and ridiculously entertaining. Zazie Beetz =total badass. my review 👇

Beast Race is bold, action-packed, and easy to get wrapped up in. The races are electric and the world-building really shines. My review 👇 #SXSW #FilmReview

Undertone is a slow burn , that really pays with its final act ,this movie is simple and I love everything that Tuason squeezes out of this as he maximizes the sound design to take you to dark places , and making you afraid of the dark just a little more .
I got to sit down with Brian Tetsuro Ivie about his new film Anima , that premiered at #SXSW , you can watch that interview 👇

Project Hail Mary blends heart and big ideas into one grand cinema spectacular as the combination of a thrilling and entertaining story with a performance by Gosling , that proves he is the movie star we need , all together it equals a move experience you must have #ProjectHailMary
What if the “college experience” isn’t about partying-but figuring yourself out ? Poetic license surprised me , funny,warm,and more heartfelt than I expected. Leslie Mann is fantastic. My review 👇 #SXSW #FilmTwitter #MovieReview

I love the effort put into And Her Body Was Never Found , and it really is something to go completely blind into , and it is filled with tension and is such a unique film, that is is sure to leave you your own questions in the end. #sxsw
Poetic License is a refreshing and ambitious rom-com, that feels genuine with is funny and heartfelt story how it is never too late to reinvent yourself. The cast is fantastic , especially Mann, who shines so brightly is this movie that has something for everyone. #sxsw #PoeticLicense
Odenkirk shows who’s boss in Ben Wheatley’s latest Normal, as it’s as funny as it’s bloody , and while there might not be much depth , the fun time and the action , lead to a breezy good time at the movies. #sxsw #Normalmovie
The premise really stands out in Wishful Thinking , and thanks to Pullman and Hawke are spectacular and when you add the the comedic beats, you get something that is quite fresh and charming ,but it’s the romance that stays with you the most #sxsw
Chasing Summer is a fun throwback rom-com that while its narrative can be all over the place at times , works because Shlesinger is so damn charming and funny in it, and proves you can still and a fresh feeling story about going home . #sxsw
They Will Kill You is equally fun and weird, as Beetz gives quite the physical performance, and while you see the Influences of Samurai movies, it makes its own path , and delivers one hell if a cinema ride #sxsw #TheyWillKillyou
Leviticus uses horror to explore something deeply personal-and it works. It’s tense,emotional,and at times hard to watch, but in the best way. A story about identity,faith,and fear that lingers long after it ends. Review 👇 #sxsw #leviticus

Beast Race is Brazilian Hunger Games, but with a lot more action, as contestants have to punch and parkour their way to victory, the action set pieces are great l, and while the slow downs bring the movie down a little , the entertainment never stops #sxsw
He Bled Neon glows in neon and has one of the better opening credits sequences I have seen in awhile , and while it starts off like a rocket ship , it starts to hit some bumps with its final act, but even with that , Kirsch shows plenty of promise #sxsw
Buddy is weird and fun horror movie that you will likely not forget, as it’s often hilarious, and at times unsettling , and while it might be imperfect, and has quite a few uneven patches , it’s worth the time , if anything just to say you saw it. #sxsw #buddymovie
A stoner comedy about two college kids trying to go down two flights of stairs to pick up a pizza? Yeah .. I was in immediately. Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney’s Pizza Movie is chaotic,ridiculous,and consistently throwing jokes at the wall my review 👇
