Saturday Morning Cinema – The Shawshank Redemption

As number 72 on the AFI Top 100, Shawshank Redemption feels as though it could be higher on the list. While it is more of a modern classic (if the 90’s can still be considered ‘modern’), that should not discredit it from being higher than 72.

Saturday Morning Cinema: Hard Target (or How I Miss 90’s Action Movies)

Hard Target is quintessential 90’s action cinema. It has recognizable stars, including a household action name in Van Damme, a simple yet against-the-odds plot, and hyperbolic hand-to-hand and firearm combat.

Movies That Surprised – Kingsman: The Secret Service

There are times when you suspect a movie could be fun, but you start watching without expectation. Yet, at the end, you walk away having thoroughly enjoyed yourself for the previous two hours after going through an experience whose imagery resonates after the screen goes dark.

How’s your night going? Mine, because I watched this movie, was weird.

Spooky Watch: 28 Days Later

Why in the world would I watch a movie about a highly contagious and deadly virus in a year when a highly contagious and deadly virus is rampaging throughout the world? Because it is October and now is the time to bask in the surreal, the scary, and that which causes a degree of unease.…

Saturday Morning Cinema: Forrest Gump

I will embrace the cliché and open with the line, “Mama always said, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.’” It is one of the truest, most applicable movie lines I have heard during my lifetime. This makes sense, then, that such a line comes from a…

Saturday Morning Cinema: All the President’s Men

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put President Nixon back together again.
