State of Fear 2018

Release Date: 10/31/2018

Talking With Burritos

This is not about elections, steel dossiers, or FBI reports I will never read. This is all about how sexy, crazy, cool, and dangerous those Russians can be on screen and off.

Road Trip Heroes - TWB89

Talking With Burritos

15:17 to Paris is a Clint Eastwood film made for Lifetime that somehow made it to the big screen. A better road trip movie with a less inspirational story is Eurotrip.

Sharks Plus Ocean Equals Scary - TWB88

Talking With Burritos

Recently, Warner Bros. released The Meg as proof that sharks are not bankable unless you make them silly. As frightening a creature as sharks seem, they are never good subjects for a movie. There are very few plots involving sharks in which to script an original film. Depending on the idea, a thrilling shark movie should never be over-conceptualized. Just keep it simple: sharks plus ocean equals scary.

Netflix at The Oscars With Steven Spielberg -TWB87

Talking With Burritos

Roma did not win Best Picture. Whether this was a slight jab at the streaming giant or a well-deserved win for the other movie, the Oscars are not the same and never will be. But fear not, our Spectacled Crusader is here to save Hollywood from going Hollywood.

Bohemian Travesty - TWB86

Talking With Burritos

At face value, Bohemian Rhapsody is a paint-by-the-numbers biopic without the celebratory weight of a meaningful story.

State of Fear 2018

Talking With Burritos

Halloween has a newfound popularity rooted in a remake that is a sequel (a remakequel) to the beginnings of a franchise relaunch. Not new material, but there’s a case for simplicity with horror movies that over time lost to the evolving use of special effects and jump scares. Halloween (2018) wasn’t a great movie; however, it is what this genre needs as a reflection back to when simple storying telling thrilled the masses.

Hollywood, We Have a Problem with Movie Franchises

Talking With Burritos

Remakes and Franchises make movie watching boring these days. Same ol’ this and with a sprinkle of that thing already imagined. Jurassic World and Ocean’s 8 are two examples of films —this summer— whose failure to deviate from the plot and character development of it’s precursors to produced a final product that hit all the marks of fanfare but lacked originality.

Subscribe Me to Movie Pass - TWB83

Talking With Burritos

The movie theatre is a venue; a luxury, to which only some of us can afford to indulge regularly. Subscription services, like, Movies Pass, Stubs, and Cinemark’s Movie Club make that indulgence a more considerable option than waiting for movies to premiere on Netflix. No matter who’s paying, it’s a great experience when we’re paying less.

Black Panther is The Only Black James Bond We Need - TWB82

Talking With Burritos

Black Panther is the only black James Bond we need. He has the tech, a suave demeanor, and the well intent to undermine criminal minds who threaten his nations. It would be great to have a black James Bond character on the big screen but as long as he or she is not James Bond and more Bond-like.

Solo is The Ultimate George Lucas Clapback - TWB81

Talking With Burritos

If you hated Solo, you brought this upon yourself!
