70 - "The Banshees of Inisherin"

Morning Reel ·

2023/03/09

"The Banshees of Inisherin" is a great written and directed film by Martin McDonagh, who takes black comedy to the ficitonal place called Inisherin fille with a unique cast of characters whom are very interactive. Some of the cast add great purpose to the push of the film's plot and they bring the two main characters together even though one of 'em doesn't wanna do jack. The film is so simple but filled with great dialog and how it supports loneliness, existentialism, life crisis, and other things

Morning Reel ·

2023/02/25

"Cocaine Bear" is Elizabeth Banks' best film to date. She was able to show us a thriller, a comedy and a crime film all in and hour 30 mins. That's a little hard to do even if it leans towars the comedy side of things. It's a pretty solid script, cheesy for the most part. But seeing the bear high on cocaine is sort of like watching a National Geographic program. I'll say this, it's not the best film but it definitely end up sharing it's simulcast with National Geographic. Listen to us what intrigued

68 - "If Beale Street Could Talk"

Morning Reel ·

2023/02/14

"If Beale Street Could Talk" is great film that deals with injustice and how to get through it out. The tale is embodied by Tish & Fonny, who are beyond in love, separated by bars due to a crime Fonny was wrongfully convicted of. Tish is carrying Fonny's baby and with support of her family, they try to turn things around. But like life, there are challenges that one must get by with no guarrantee and that's what I love from the film personally, the fact that we're seeing a window to these

Morning Reel ·

2023/02/14

"Love & Basketball" shows the life of two people who are not only in love with each other but in love with basketball. The ticket to freedom, success and being wanted for them is basketball but they later realize what they have is far much greater. This films deals with the ups and downs of trying to be a success especially dealing with family and peers. I talk about why I like this film due to a great sctipt, how complex and insightful these characters are and how this theme of love is carried

66 - "Elvis"

Morning Reel ·

2023/02/03

"Elvis" is a wild ride. It definitely complimented the craziness of Elvis through it's elaborate editing, sound design, to the sloppiness of the screenplay itself along with casrting choices. I enjoyed the film for it's beauty of cinematography, production design, and honestly, it's screen direction because it is tough to show a concert being done even it's all filmmaking. Enjoy.#elvis #morningreel #bazluhrmann

65 - "The Fabelmans"

Morning Reel ·

2023/01/27

Steven Spielberg has done it with this film called "The Fabelmans" which is roughly his autobiography. Everyhting he cherishes about filmmaking and being vulnerable is right here. I briefly talk about why this film is a masterclass in filmmaking, I give credit to the casting and the actors who played these great and realistic characters, and I also briefly bring up how the plot of the film plays to even modern times, splitting your work life and family life, art vs passion. This is a film that

64 - "Matilda" (1996)

Morning Reel ·

2023/01/19

Danny DeVito directed Matilda, who gave us a lot to think about and a lot to be grateful of. It's visually striking, the dialog is very snappy and a bit dark at times, especially with Principal Trunchbull, she's a riot. Matilda is a smart girl, almost too smart for your own good and a lot of power of the film comes from that understanding. We all want to belong, believe it or not. I briefly talk about DeVito's visual style in this film in particular, the character development of Matilda and some of

63 - "Waking Life"

Morning Reel ·

2023/01/15

This film review was a request by orlyb2012 Thank you orlyb2012 !Waking Life is Richard Linklater's love letter to his whole filmography: the meaning of life. Is there magic in the world? Are we actually alive? Linklater various films explore those themes, of existentialism, reality, in a lot of his films and he doesn't really go deep on them but in this film in particular, he goes BALLS DEEP and I like that. This is not your typical drama or action film. It's a film that demands your attention and

62 - "A Little Princess"

Morning Reel ·

2023/01/05

Alfonso Cuaron started his studio film career with A Little Princess in which I enjoyed especially with the cinematography and great acting from the cast that you wouldn't expect to see. You can tell that Cuaron has a knack for visuals and it shows in the dream sequences that the set has created that looks very inviting, fluid, and imaginative, which is the subtext of the film, belieivng in reality's magic. Enjoy!#alittleprincess #alfonsocuaron #morningreel

61 - "New Year's Eve"

Morning Reel ·

2023/01/02

New Year's Eve is a Garry Marshall directed film and somehting happened to where stories don't go no where but somehow captivate the heart. Not mine, that's for sure. Here's a film where an ensemble cast could have done better if the treatment was better for them in the first place. FInd out why I gave this film TWO tokes in terms of story selection, writing in general and the cheesiness of it. Enjoy.#newyearseve #garrymarshall #morningreel

60 - "Aftersun"

Morning Reel ·

2022/12/30

Aftersun is a brave film written & directed by Charlotte Wells that focuses on the dynamic between single parents and their children especially when dealing with depression coming from the parent. It's a simple in its plot but complex as to what the characters go through in an emotional and physiological level. I love it for the writing, the acting and stage direction Wells was able to successfully accomplish, as well as how the cinematography presents the dynamics. Enjoy!#aftersun

59 - "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Morning Reel ·

2022/12/26

A Charlie Brown Christmas is the first TV special of the Peanuts gang and it's great for kids and adults to watch. The short is still reltable to today's time especially how it mentions commercialism and greed, especially from a child's perspective. I loved the humor, seeing Charlie Brown as a play director is great and Snoopy steals the cel throughout. Watch it on Apple +, sadly it's not broadcasted to the public audience, but do please see it whenever it's on your screen.#acharliebrownchristmas

58 - "Elf"

Morning Reel ·

2022/12/25

Elf is directed by Jon Favreau and he did a great job guiding a cast to cheer and jubulation. It's a well balanced film that I would consider a modern Christmas film and at this point it is a classic. Listen to me talking about the team between James Caan and Will Ferrell, how develop from each other, how music embodies Christmas, and how to relates to certain people who think they got it all but if family ain't there, you got nothing.#morningreel #elf #willferrell

Morning Reel ·

2022/12/20

Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a Christmas gift provided by John Hughes to us. Now, in this review, I don't go in-depth to the how this franchise stood the test of time. I simply talk about how I like the first film aginst its adventurous sequels but they are great to watch and enjoy for all kinds of people to see and it's great to see this film due to its constant culture it continues spray to our younger generations.

56 - "It's a Wonderful Life"

Morning Reel ·

2022/12/10

It's a Wonderful Life" is wonderful for many reasons - the production design, the well written script adapted from "A Christmas Carol", the acting and ensemble cast you get, plus more from the premise itself of making the best of life, especially when you know you got it good. Enjoy.#morningreel #itsawonderfullife #frankcapra

Morning Reel ·

2022/12/05

True love! In this LSD review, I talk about why I think "The Philadelphia Story" is a great film, almost the perfect film to be more descriptive. The cast filled with beautiful and talented actors and how they certainly bring the script alive on its toes especially with endless one-liners. This film caught my attention as to how it reflects the times and parodies high societies, monocles y todo. Even for a screwball film, it has great cinematography as well, moving through the set design, exposing

54 - "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"

Morning Reel ·

2022/11/26

This Peanuts classic shows us kids and adults what Thanksgiving is about in a cute, comedic and wholesome way. A simple plot didn't go a long way but I enjoyed Snoopy making food for his friends and all comes from the bottom of his heart. A film to enjoy and possibly re-create, you'll get hooked and make you want to take on the world.#morningreel #acharliebrownthanksgiving

53 - "To the Wonder"

Morning Reel ·

2022/11/18

"To the Wonder" written & directed by Terrence Malick is a love letter to love and it's brutal. It's not a graphic film but the passion that the actors put into the film is no where near numb. An explosion at being free and feeling free in a space where you have to convince the audience, "this is who I am and it makes sense to me". I loved the film for it's cinematography, the use of voice overs in certain sequences in the film that leads to the result of careful editing. It's a film everyone

52 - "Equals" Feat. Fabiola Soto

Morning Reel ·

2022/11/10

My wife briefly joins on this episode for the review of "Equals" which I thought is a good hearted film that did is best to use romance and fuse it with minimalist science fiction themes such as dystopian societies where emotions are taboo. I really love the cinematography, talk about how the visuals from the robotic nature of the camera can help tell a story and the actors in the film did a great job carry the story and describe the pains we humans feel when it comes to love and passion. I only

51 - "Clerks III"

Morning Reel ·

2022/11/04

"Clerks III" concludes the "Clerks" trilogy that Kevin Smith has created. This film is probably the most emotional of the three. Not the most powerful, it almost feels like mockumentary of sorts but Smith did a good job choosing which scenes are worthy enough to "re-enact" but in Randal's vision. And I like it a lot. The dialog is sharp and Elias is great practicing Satanism and dressing up what he thinks is what a Satanist would be like. It's everything. This film does carry the narrative of
