Movie Review: Last Christmas
I would be hard pressed to call Last Christmas a “love story.” While marketed and presented as such, I beg to differ. Last Christmas is the story of Kate—a bumbling, near-homeless, can’t-get-her-sh*t-together, hot mess of a young woman who wants desperately to be a singer but can only find work as a full-time elf in a Christmas shop—and she’s not even good at doing that. But is she at least likabl...[Read More]

Trailer Trashin’: Solo: A Star Wars Story
INTRO: It’s been a long time since the Trailer Trashin’ column has appeared on CinemaNerdz. We apologize for the lengthy layoff. But, fear not, dear readers, we’re back with our weekly take on movie trailers as they’re released. Although it was released earlier this month, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the newest trailer for one of the more highly anticipated movies of this young yea...[Read More]
Movie Review: Me Before You
It should probably be noted that, before going to see this film, the trailer and the fact that it was based on a best-selling novel brought up images of seeing The Fault in Our Stars (2014). While that film was fine on its own merits (and certainly a tearjerker in its own right), it struck me that another film should be only two years on its heels, ready to steal the same general plot and rehash i...[Read More]
Movie Review: Terminator Genisys
Full disclosure: I’m a huge Terminator and Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, and since I’m so in love with the franchise and the world that James Cameron created over thirty years ago, I’m very critical of the later movies in the series (Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines [2003] and Terminator Salvation [2009]). In what is essentially a reboot of the Terminator universe, Terminator ...[Read More]
New Terminator Genisys Clip Highlights T-1000
A newly released clip from the upcoming Terminator Genisys provides an extended look at the film’s version of the T-1000. The sequence definitely echoes The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), which looks fantastic, my only concern will be trying to keep all of the time paradoxes straight. As you probably already know, the film, directed by Alan Taylor, follows a plot s...[Read More]
Movie Review: Dom Hemingway
The tale of Dom Hemingway (Jude Law) is a vibrant, loud, transparent mix of character study and black comedy. Dom Hemingway tells the story of Dom, a convict who has spent twelve years in prison for keeping his mouth closed regarding a job he did for crime boss Mr. Fontaine (Demian Bichir). After he is released from prison (in an opening that resembles a Quentin Tarantino film; full of quick dialo...[Read More]
