Malik’s Movie Reviews Past & Present
It occurred to me today that this will (probably) be the first year in at least a decade that I don’t hit up Vegas. Two things: At this point, I’ve done ‘Vegas Birthday’, ‘UFC Fight Weekend in Vegas,’ ‘Hangover in Vegas’, ‘New Year’s in Vegas’… there’s not really any all new variations I haven’t […]
Taking you into this weekend with one of my favorite scene stealing performances in recent memory… I rewatched ‘No Country for Old Men’ last night and forgot Margaret Bowman played a motel clerk in that one. Not a hugely memorable role, but it made me go back and look up her one scene in […]
Caught the trailer for the new Elton John biopic. I don’t know. I’m still a little more interested in the Freddie Mercury biopic, but that’s just me. Anyway, the Elton trailer did put me in the mood for one of my favorite (sad) love songs. So lyrical. Enjoy!
I think this has been forwarded me to about 20 bazillion times in 2 hours, and I still can’t get enough of it. Can’t wait. Can’t wait… Have a good weekend!
Quincy Jones has had a career and a life that just won’t me duplicated. EGOT. He opened the door for Oprah to go to the next level. He opened the door for Will Smith to go to the next level. Nearly any creative I know would feel like his 90th biggest accomplishment would easily […]
Still buzzed from watching an IMAX print of ‘the Dark Knight’. Tenth anniversary and on a weeknight the place was still packed (well played Warner Brothers.) No film is perfect of course (the ‘Heat’ and ‘Se7en’ influences feel heavier now), but that film is still a quick 2 and a half hour ride. Adapting […]
Not exactly what I was expecting, and also all in at the same time. Making a note to self to make sure I’m back on HBO to start 2019…
Mahershala. In an awards season release. I’m there. Done and done.
So yes, to say Spike is ‘back’ is condescending. He’s been working. The word I thought of last night as I walking out of the theatre was ‘accessible.’ This is the most accessible Spike Lee joint in a little bit. My parents have no interest in seeing (and probably don’t even know about) ‘Chi-raq’ and […]
Barry Jenkins’ trailer dropped this week, and I’m about to hop back onto HBO for Issa, and pretty high odds I’ll have some thoughts on Spike’s new movie next Sunday, and Tessa is…Tessa… So this is as good of a video to start the week as any. Enjoy!
