Movie Review: A Look Back at 'My Own Private Idaho'
The classic on this week’s Everybody’s a Critic Movie Review Podcast is in honor of John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum. My Own Private Idaho stars Keanu Reeves opposite River Phoenix as hustlers living in the Pacific Northwest. Reeves is the supporting player to Phoenix’s lead, and in that supporting role, Reeves has rarely been as complex and layered. Working opposite River Phoenix appears to have brought something out of Reeves that we’ve rarely seen in the years since.

Great Film, Big Inspiration
After watching the film Tolkien, I have never so badly wanted to be a writer and get my graphic novel to publish. The film was an inspiration, and I did have a few things in common with Tolkien. Just like Tolkien, I am an outcast, I have a creative imagination, my writing also has to do fantasy (but I too do comedy and a little horror), and finally, we both went to a university.

In My Opinion: The Best British Actors of Today
I have constantly been asking myself about British Actors of today, and who I find to be my favourite. Here's an anecdote for you: though I am Indian, I was born and raised in England, and for years, I studied acting and Shakespeare. I now hold two degrees, a BA in English, and an MA in Film and Writing–I chose that I'd rather be behind, than in front of the camera after getting that much range of study. I love to look at how an actor functions as a part of a film, and how that has an impact on their choices into other films. For example: if a villain was played well, would that actor then choose more villainous roles? Or would they choose to explore the other realms of character?

My Opinion: The 10 Worst Actresses of All Time
There are great actresses, like Cate Blanchett, there are good actresses like Ellen Page, and there are terrible actresses, like the ones you're about to read about. In all aspects, these are the actresses who always either act exactly the same, or don't have any real talent when it comes to being on the screen.

Movie Review: 'Poms' Isn't the Worst of Diane Keaton, Still Bad Though
That Poms is bad is something I could have written without having seen the movie. Star Diane Keaton hasn’t made a movie actually worth sitting through in more than 30 years—it was unlikely that dressing as a cheerleader was going to reverse that trend. Yet another exercise in the sub-genre of old people doing young people things, Poms is filled with gags about how old people have almost constant pain and are near death. Hilarious, right?

Movie Review: 'Tolkien' Is a Surprising Delight
I am the last person I expected to be a huge of a biopic of The Hobbit creator J.R.R Tolkien, but here we are. As the mystical magic of the movies settled over me in a theater in Davenport, Iowa, I found myself almost instantly won over by the story of a supremely intelligent young orphan, haunted by the unexpected early death of his incredibly creative mother, Tolkien, the movie, crafts a vision of a man one might expect to create entire worlds from his remarkable imagination.

Looking Back at 'Bedtime Story' The Inspiration for Anne and Rebel in 'The Hustle'
Bedtime Story is a relatively forgotten part of Marlon Brando’s filmography. It’s certainly a departure from the Brando of lore, the temperamental method actor, desperately serious about his craft in his early years, and debauched, and disengaged in his later years. Bedtime Story is Marlon Brando with a light comic touch, and it suits him nearly as well as his leather jackets of the 50s, and his Godfather personae of the 70s.
