Let's Review w/ Collin Everett

Ex Machina is a prime example of how bad it could go for us as human beings, if Artificial Intelligence were to be further created and developed. Technology is as flawed and corrupted as humans are, so the expectation for perfection would be met with harsh realities; as seen in this film. Alex Garland does an incredible job at creating an ominous tone with powerful questions being raised, through...

This movie is not based on a true story, because it is based on many true stories. I found this movie to be relevant as this review is releasing exactly one week after the Tyre Nichols video came out. Police officers resembling gang members is not a new concept. Anton Fuqua showed us in 2001 with Denzel Washington's incredibly portrayal of an officer who "owns the streets". Using fear, intimidatio...

One of the best movies of 2019, highly anticipated, and unfairly ridiculed prior to its release. Joker is an incredible attempt at showing us the mental decline one person can have through trauma and neglect. Society does not want to claim its responsibility in the creation of an incel, or the creation of a homeless person; much less entire groups of them. Yet, society continues to wonder why scho...

This movie is a switch-up on the western genre. Taylor Sheridan created a beautiful modern day telling of the familiar Cops and Robbers story we all know. The reasons each party has, driving their decision making in this movie, are reasons we can understand. Putting the audience in a heightened emotional space, as we want to see the cops and the robbers succeed at their job; but only one can win....

Episode #3) Sleepwalk With Me stands out as being incredibly unique in the story that it shares, and how it shares that story too. Mike Birbiglia is constantly changing the game when it comes to comedy, and movies themselves. Even more specifically how comedy is portrayed in movies, and the life of comedians both in the world of stand-up comedy; and in the world of improv comedy. Each with their o...

Episode #2) *SPOILERS ABOUND* - Nightcrawler released just as I was beginning film school. I can usually recall memorable viewings of films, but this one is a total blur. I think my mind was ransacked by the utter ambition and intelligence of the movie that played before me. Dan Gilroy was a first time director making this movie, and in my opinion, his work following this film does not live up to...

It is now time to review movies, starting with one of my favorite Christmas movies. Posting this on Christmas day for the relevancy of it, I go into SPOILERS so please watch the movie before listening or watching this podcast. Don't say I didn't warn you! Fatman is a quality film, entirely unique in its approach to the story of Christmas, but also its approach to storytelling through the medium of...
