Movie talk for movie fans
Written by Aaron Radcliff: Over the years, I've been asked what my favorite movies are. Seeing as I've been running this blog for nearly two and a half years, I figured my 25th birthday would be the best time to open up that side of my cinematic love. It's time to unveil the movies that... Continue Reading →
Written by Aaron Radcliff: When you look at Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's filmographies, you'll undoubtedly find far better and more memorable films than any of the Bad Boys movies. Ok, maybe not so for Lawrence. In spite of that, the first two films in the trilogy managed to carve out their own places in my... Continue Reading →
Written by Aaron Radcliff: The nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards were announced this morning and, as is tradition, people across the land have some opinions they'd like to share. It's only human nature, and I'm a human (or so I tell people until the time comes for The Event), so why shouldn't I be... Continue Reading →

Written by Aaron Radcliff: Full disclosure right off the bat: I'm a Star Wars fan and I have been my whole life. I've also enjoyed the recent Disney trilogy for what it is. I also don't treat any negative experience with the franchise (aside from the holiday special) as some sort of slight or desecration... Continue Reading →
Written by Aaron Radcliff: "Criminal lawyers see bad people at their best and divorce lawyers see good people at their worst," says Ray Liotta's scummy lawyer as he gives legal counsel to Adam Driver's character, Charlie Barber. Nearly halfway through Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story, it seems as though things couldn't get much worse for former couple... Continue Reading →
Written by Aaron Radcliff: When we last left acclaimed writer-director Rian Johnson, people were divided, to put it gently, about his take on the beloved Star Wars franchise with The Last Jedi. Personally, I enjoyed it a lot along with his prior film, Looper. The man knows how to write a good story, so naturally that talent should lend itself... Continue Reading →
Written by Aaron Radcliff: 2013 saw not only the release of Frozen, but the birth of a cultural phenomenon. For months following, all you could see was Frozen merchandise and children screaming the lyrics to Let It Go.
