War Dogs 2016
War Dogs was a pleasant dark comedy that follows two men played by Jonah Hill and Miles Teller in Dick Channeys management of the Middle East. They find a way to exploit the supply of weapons for U.S. troops in Afghanistan. The film, directed by Todd Phillips, the man behind Joker, one of my favorite comic book films, here he explores the consequences of getting money immorally while still being "anti-war". The film's satirical take on the arms industry is…

Pulp Fiction 1994
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This is not at all the movie I expected. I had no clue Bruce Willis was in this but he shined for the time they gave him. I don’t watch a lot of Tarantino stuff so getting used to his style was very interesting. Spoilers!!!!!- telling the story out of order was very interesting and I seriously had no clue how this movie would end. The standouts here are 100% SLJ and Travolta but I wish we got to see more of Marcellus, I wish his character got more chance to sign.

From the intro to the death of Malcolm, it is stellar. The mere fact that Denzel Washington didn't win Best Actor at the 65th Academy Awards was mind-blowing. I've never seen Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino, but something just doesn't sit right with me.

The story is so shocking that you would think it could never truly happen. While Spike and his team do exaggerate some details, like the BSU plot, the film does a good job of tying in the real story of Ron Stallworth with other historical events, such as Alt-right attacks on Black Youth.…

At Your Service 2025
If I had to pick the best movie between this, The Godfather (72) and The Shawshank Redemption (94), I'd pick this any day of the week.

13th 2016
Watch this for my social science class and wow I am glad we chose this movie. 13th is a powerful and eye-opening documentary that reveals the deep issues within the U.S. criminal justice system. Ava DuVernay and her editing team put together historical footage, photos, and interviews that tell a compelling narrative. The documentary is both informative and emotional, showcasing the systemic racism that uses the 13th Amendment. However, the documentary's pacing did feel very inconsistent, leaving me taking in…
