Enjoy the rantings as Mr. Hipster proves he slept through his film criticism courses in college.

Doctor Sleep

Doctor Sleep (Director’s Cut)

This first question to ask here is: did we need a three-hour version of this movie? I'm pretty certain, after watching it, that the answer is a resounding no. I didn't
Ad Astra

Ad Astra

Fathers and sons. Sons and fathers. It's like a writer's paradise, that relationship. And so goes Ad Astra, a sci-fi tale that tells the story of that bond — or lack
The Peanut Butter Falcon

The Peanut Butter Falcon

I know Shia LaBeouf catches a lot of shit for, well, being Shia LaBeouf. Granted, he's certainly had his share of meltdowns and participated in a lot of nonsense, but
Motherless Brooklyn

Motherless Brooklyn

So, I wrote a review of Motherless Brooklyn back in 2007. Or so my janky website tells me. It could have actually happened years before, but I converted the site from a
The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs

I saw The Silence of the Lambs at the Regal theaters in the Carousel Mall in 1991. And while it pretty much took over pop culture for what felt like years afterward, I
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

The Keanussance is real. Ok, it's not real, real, but a guy who was once an acting school punchline has come through the other side as a bonafide action star. Or, more
Mission: Impossible — Fallout

Mission: Impossible – Fallout

I'm trying to remember how many of these Mission: Impossible movies I've seen. Even after watching this one, I recall nothing about any of them save the 1996 original in
Uncut Gems

Uncut Gems

It seems Hollywood is always looking for a return to some time in its past that they consider the golden age. For some I'm sure that involves male/female road movies with
War Dogs

War Dogs

I suppose this would be Todd Phillips' other film. The one that isn't Old School or The Hangover or even Joker. In fact, I had little recollection that this was even a
Little Women

Little Women

I am just killing it with these year-old movies! Movies based on 152-year-old books. I'm honestly not sure why I wanted to see this to begin with. It is definitely not
The Social Network

The Social Network

Thanks Mark Zuckerberg for making a platform that my mom thinks is email, but it's not. Thanks for creating something that stresses me out on each Hallmark holiday and
Okja

Okja

Apparently this site has just become a Bong Joon Ho tribute site of late. But, my god, this is a strange movie. It's all over the place in terms of tone and approach. At
Parasite

Parasite

Yes, I am the last person on Earth to see Parasite. And I've decided that's okay. It's almost a challenge these days to avoid spoilers. It's not just like the old days
Good Time

Good Time

I do love a crime drama. And there is no better backdrop for these types of stories than NYC. And Good Time takes full advantage of the chaos and dinginess of the city
Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer

I'd had Snowpiercer sitting in my queue for quite a while. It's so right up my alley I have no clue what was keeping me from firing it up. Maybe it was the fear that it
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

What's better than watching a semi-violent Dwayne Johnson movie with children when stuck home during a global pandemic? A movie loosely connected to a very successful
Jumanji the Next Level

Jumanji: The Next Level

This is what happens when you let the kids pick the movie. It's like letting the kids name the pets. That's why there are so many cats out there named Kitty and Fluffy
Glass

God only knows what possessed me to want to finish this Shymalan trilogy. I alone seemed to like Unbreakable back in the day. And then finally got around to seeing the
