My Review of "Long Shot"
Long Shot came out back in 2019 and I'm a fan of Seth Rogan movies. This is why I'm surprised I didn't get to see this movie when it first came out. I thought it was funny that the leads for an American political movie are immigrants that came from other countries. There are a lot of fun nuances throughout this movie that I thought were pretty weird as well.

My Review of "Honey Boy"
Honey Boy came out quietly last year and I wish it made such a bigger splash. It's a multi-leveled movie because on one hand it's an exploration of a character but yet it is also based on a true story about one of the actors that plays in the movie. There's a weird sense of dramatic irony based on our own knowledge of the movie prior to watching the movie.

My Review of "Knives Out"
Knives Out came out last year with some resounding success. It came out of nowhere and was given a lot of push by the media. I for some reason never got the chance to watch the movie until this week. It's too bad because this would have been a really fun movie to have watched with a group of people in the theatres.

One Man, Two Guvnors.
Robert Massimi. Last evening I watched "One Man, Two Guvnors" on PBS. Having been starved for theater; especially as a drama critic, I was excited to watch what was a Tony winner back in 2012. The shows synopsis: Francis Henshall (James Cordon) finds himself working for both a gangster and a criminal in hiding, both of whom are linked in a web of schemes, extortions and romantic associations. To prevent discovery, Francis must do everything to keep his two guvnors apart.

My Review of the "Sony X900H"
Sony X900H recently came out and it's touted to be the television that Sony is pushing people to get to work with the new PlayStation 5 that comes out next week. Everything is in a rush and you can tell that Sony is pushing themselves to hit their deadlines.

My Review of "Knock Knock"
Knock Knock is a 2015 movie that I'm not too sure how to categorize. It almost seems like it's supposed to be a horror movie but it's not necessarily scary. There's different elements that make it qualify as a horror movie though. I really liked the premise of this movie however it really faltered close to the end of the movie and there were a few missteps along the way as well.

'The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run' Review—A Disappointing Adventure
When your film is blessed with the presence of Keanu Reeves, and it still isn't a good movie, that is not a good sign. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run is the third animated comedy in the SpongeBob film series based on the famous Nickelodeon cartoon. This is yet another film that was scheduled for a theatrical release but is getting a digital release. 2020 has not been a good year.

My Review of "Train to Busan"
Train to Busan is a movie that's talked about a lot in terms of zombie movies. It came out back in 2016 and man does it elevate the zombie movie genre. It talks about a lot of societal problems that we have today but it is mainly a focus on the characters of the movie. I am definitely a sucker for movies where you gradually see characters change from one extreme to another and this is one of them. The charm of all of the characters outweigh the black and white predictability of this movie.
