Matchstick Men
Literally had to look up Alison Lohman’s age in Matchstick Men because it wasn’t matching up for me. PLOT: Nicolas Cage plays Roy Waller, a con man who’s pretty good at his job, but it’s apparent that he’s not proud of what he does. On top of that, Waller has tourettes and OCD, so he’sContinue reading “Matchstick Men”

NOLAN AWARDS
IT’S A WONDERFUL NIGHT FOR NOLAN!!!! NOLAN MOVIES!!!! ••• For the sake of being different, I’m not going to give the win to Ledger’s Joker. Instead, I want to highlight Anne Hathaway’s performance as Catwoman because it’s legitimately one of the most exciting performances in any superhero film. This is an inspired casting choice inContinue reading “NOLAN AWARDS”
NOLAN RANKINGS: PART 2
Here we go, now we get to the fun stuff! ••• I know guys, The Dark Knight is objectively better than Batman Begins, but as a pure Batman movie, Begins is the best!
