Movie Review: 'Best F(r)iends Vol. 2'
If LARP-ers re-enacted scenes from No Country For Old Men, the result might look something like Best F(r)iends Volume 2, Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau's gloriously baffling dream come true. Like the first volume of Best F(r)iends, Best F(r)iends Volume 2 is some high level nonsense, an incompetently accomplished masterpiece of Z grade cinema.

'Status Update:' Movie Review
Starring Olivia Holt and Ross Lynch, Status Update is about a boy who is new to town and doesn't fit in. Classic teen high school film. And there's a romance element. Cliche. But in this film, it has a technology aspect that is very important for every person who is involved in technology.

Stopping by Stars Hollow: A Critic’s First Watch of 'Gilmore Girls' - Season 1, Episode 12
Happy Memorial Day, bros. Let’s stop by Stars Hollow for some BBQ and summertime fun. Season 1, Episode 12: “Double Date” I love Rune, but this episode (besides the realization of Jackson and Sookie’s relationship) is absolute filler.

Deadpool 2
Deadpool is a film that has balanced all its features to make a great film. It incorporates different elements of fantasy and science fiction. Despite a compelling lead performance by Ryan Reynolds and a great soundtrack, Deadpool 2 never gets out of the shadow of its memorable physical scenes, humorous lines and the action packed scenes.

Stopping by Stars Hollow: A Critic’s First Watch of 'Gilmore Girls' - Season 1, Episode 11
My entire body is sore. I’ve burnt myself, cut myself, stabbed myself… all forms of accidental body harm have occurred to me this past week. All I want to do is crawl under a blanket and binge watch crud all day while shoveling pizza bites into my gaping maw.

'Avanti!'
After watching Billy Wilder’s wonderfully sublime late period romantic comedy Avanti, I felt as if I just escaped to a wonderful paradise and left the worries of the world behind. That’s part of what magical Hollywood film making can do to us, they can lift us onto a different plain into a fantasy we sometimes hesitate to leave, even after the credits roll. I felt this way after watching Avanti. I was soaked into the wonderful world of Italy, humming the lovely theme music to myself afterwards, and having the kind of contentment only the best movies can put you in.
