The Eminence of 'Call Me By Your Name'
As a group of my four friends and I enter the famed Tower Theater in Little Havana, Miami on a gloomy Friday evening, none of us had any idea of the magnitude of the film we were about to watch. On the outside, Call Me By Your Name, directed by Luca Guadagnino, looks like your classic love story between two young men, yearning ever-so-desperately for one another.

'Bruce Lee In New Guinea,' Not Exactly As Advertised
For starters, the film doesn’t even star Bruce Lee. The leading man in this 1977 martial arts movie is actually Bruce ‘Li’ (born Ho Tsung-Tao) the actor thought by most kung fu flick aficionados to be the least horrible of the five or six professional look-a-likes that took to the screen after the tragic death in 1973 of the real Bruce Lee.

This Is The Greatest Show! Or Is It?
"Ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for!" I, like so many eager fans of musical theatre, have been anxiously awaiting the release of Hollywood’s newest musical The Greatest Showman. The film starring Zac Efron, Zendaya, Michelle Williams, and Rebecca Ferguson is inspired by the story of American showman, politician and founder of the Barnum and Bailey Circus, P.T. Barman, played fearlessly by the great Hugh Jackman, and follows Barnum from his humble beginnings to becoming "The Greatest Showman." And even though it continues to rake in at the box office and has even earned an Academy Award nomination, it has to be said that this passion project of Hugh Jackson’s, which took over 7 years to get made, is not without its faults. So, with that being said, I have a compiled a list of 10 reasons why I both loved and hated The Great Showman.

Review: 'Devilman Crybaby'
This past weekend, I finally got to unwind and catch up on all the new anime that’s been coming out. Aside from My Hero Academia (which I think is really good, so far), I finally got to sit down and watch Devilman Crybaby, a Netflix original that premiered on the platform on January 9th.

'Beauty and The Beast' 2017 Movie Review
First things first, I enjoyed the movie. I'm not saying it's worth an Oscar but it's not a terrible movie despite it being a remake. Compared to The Jungle Book and Cinderella Disney Remakes, I'd say it's worth an Oscar, hands down.

Movie Review: 'Just Charlie'
Just Charlie left me an emotional mess. This story about a boy realizing that he is a girl is one of the most emotional experiences that I have had watching a movie. I like to believe that I am an ally to people like Charlie and most certainly am in my heart. Just Charlie, however, reminded me that I have so much to learn and to understand about the experience of someone who is struggling to be whom they really are.

'Before I Wake'
Okay. Where to begin? I suppose at the beginning. In its entirety, this movie seems to hold to the traditional late 20th and early 21st century cinematic values of taking what should have been a good film based on a solid concept and utterly ruining it with shitty writing, shitty acting, shitty directing, and shitty editing. Production values are pretty decent and the special effects are similarly decent.

Movie Review: Hostiles
Scott Cooper is one of the most focused and intense filmmakers working today and the proof of that comes in his latest film, the western, Hostiles. Hostiles stars Christian Bale as military officer in the New Mexico territory who has spent over a decade fighting against Indians and securing the new American west from the people who rightfully owned that land.
