    Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

    ★★★★½

    I'll be honest, I didn't have very high expectations for this movie. I went in thinking it'd be your standard mock/parody film with some crass jokes.

    But the only 2 films I think I laughed more while watching were Step Brothers and Airplane, and this manages to harness John C. Reilly's talents even better than Step Brothers and is also infinitely rewatchable (just like Airplane)

    The songs are VERY catchy, the jokes almost always land, and the cameos are vast…

    The Death of Stalin

    ★★★★★

    Iannucci does it again. Death of Stalin is a hilarious satire of the very real power struggle during the post-Stalin era of the Soviet Union. It did a great job portraying the absolute terror of life in the USSR but with Veep/The Thick of It type humor.

    Fantastic performances from Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, and especially Jason Isaacs. I was really excited for this film when I first saw the trailer and it managed to exceed my expectations

  • Project Power

    Project Power

    ★★★

    Cheesy action flick with a solid cast. I loved the concept (like the Boys meets Limitless) and was hopeful that the execution would be better. Would have liked to see more powers and a sequel still seems possible.
