Description
The Everyman Movie Review is a different kind of movie commentary - it's not about the art of movie-making, but rather about the enjoyment and entertainment of the film itself. It's not about me or my opinion, it's about the movie - does it deliver on what it promises?

Episode 114 of the Everyman Movie Review!
It's rare that a movie makes me think of home as much as Buffaloed did - despite a HUGE oversight (that I get into in the episode) but I could have taken many of those characters directly from my own past. It's also rare that I am entertained while learning about something as complex and boring as debt collection - but I was. It felt like this movie was firing on all cylinders.

Episode 113 of the Everyman Movie Review!
I wasn't sure what to think about Seberg - it wasn't a story I had heard before, despite being very interested in that period in history. Also - not the biggest fan of Kristen Stewart. But, I decided to give it a whirl - I figured Anthony Mackey, Vince Vaughn, and Stephen Root wouldn't steer me wrong.

Episode 112 of the Everyman Movie Review!
Yet another movie I should have seen in theaters, and should have made more of a priority - The Laundromat. Some of you may be too young to remember the Panama Papers - since it was only in the news for about 15 mins, but I remember it rocked me when I found out. I figured, the movie version airing the dirty laundry would be just as good.

Episode 111 of the Everyman Movie Review!
So - a note at the beginning - I am clearly sleep deprived because I called this movie the "Terror" Report multiple times in the episode and even in the title card. Sorry about that, it's obviously titled...
The Torture Report is YET another movie I regret not seeing on the big screen when I could. It came our originally last fall, and this fall came to streaming on Amazon. It's exactly the kinda movie for me - political thriller based on true events. I'm not the hugest fan of Adam Driver (my Tom Hanks) but I figured I would give it a try.

Episode 110 of the Everyman Movie Review!
I, like everyone, loved Napoleon Dynamite. I saw the title of this week's movie (When Jeff Tried to Save the World) and thought it was an end of the world movie; they're in pretty heavy rotation for me right now. But I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't exactly what I was expected. Then, I realized it was starring Jon Heder, Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle, Jim O'Heir, and Steve Berg - seemed like a can't miss!

Episode 109 of the Everyman Movie Review!
This will not be a normal review because this is not a normal movie - the Spoilers section is longer than EVERYTHING else. But - if you've seen a Charlie Kaufman movie before (Adaptation, Being Jon Malkovich) you may understand why. This one is no different - but I'm always down for being screwed with by Charlie so - I dove in.

Episode 108 of the Everyman Movie Review!
I'm a huge fan of Aaron Sorkin's writing. I was somewhat disappointed with his directorial debut in "Molly's Game" but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially with the likes off Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, John Carroll Lynch, and Joseph Gordon Levitt in a movie about the '68 Chicago Riots and the Chicago 7. So, I jumped into this new release from Netflix.

WHAT YEAR IS IT?!? I'm doing a review of a Borat movie? Just when you think America couldn't get dumber - you see that Borat somehow convinced Americans to be themselves again, but on camera, again. The original made up a HUGE part of my twenties so I was stoked to see the follow-up.

Episode 106 of the Everyman Movie Review!
A lot of you may have never heard of Slenderman... or you may only know of the murder story out of Wisconsin - this isn't that. This is a fictional account of the fictional character - although, the former may have impacted the latter, as I explain. But - I always loved the character of Slenderman, I figured the movie would be, at least alright.

Episode 105 of the Everyman Movie Review!
I've never been a HUGE fan of Adam Sandler - his movies anyway (I'll explain why I'm insanely jealous of his career). But a Sandler movie can be perfect when you have a big group of people with very differing interests (and the veto vote steps out for an errand). This Halloween hasn't felt like a real one, so I was hoping that Hubie could help renew my love for this holiday.

Episode 104 of the Everyman Movie Review!
A Halloween Special! To celebrate, for the next three episodes, we're covering some scary/Halloween themed movies. Up First: Doctor Sleep
The Shining terrified me as a kid - like literal scars - but I guess Steven King knows his way around terror. Like Danny, I'm all grown up now, but Ewan McGregor takes it all in stride way better than I ever could. A sequel to a cinema classic seems like it can't miss.

Episode 102 of the Everyman Movie Review!
I should have seen Blinded by the Light in theaters. We went at least 4 times with it as one of the options, but something always came first. Then - we lost theaters forever. Well, maybe not forever, but it seems that long in LA. And I will forever regret not seeing this movie on the big screen - the one that got away for sure. With Viveik Kalra, Lee Barnett, Dean-Charles Chapman, Kit Reeve and Rob Brydon - and featuring the music of The Boss - Bruce Springsteen. It seemed like this flick had it all.

Episode 101 of the Everyman Movie Review!
Capone will be a lesson to me about the finickiness of the industry that I want so much to be a part of. Josh Trank was one of the hottest up and coming filmmakers. Then, he had an incident with his first big-budget movie Fantastic Four. He laid low, and got a chance to redeem himself with another fantastic script and a cast with the likes of Tom Hardy (arguably the greatest actor of our generation), Linda Carellini, Matt Dillon, and Noel Fisher. Then - the universe intervened and theaters were closed a month prior to its release. But even if it's only ever available on streaming, the cast and subject got me excited about this one.

Shifting gears from the "actors out of their element" we're going into a series of historical stories you should know, told in an interesting way.
I always knew the "story" of how Frankenstein was written - but I didn't know the half of it. The tale of Mary Shelley was SO much more. AND - featuring Elle Fanning, Bel Powley, Douglas Booth, Maisie Williams, Tom Sturridge, and Ben Hardy - seems like a can't miss!

I had Dora and the Lost City of Gold in my "To Watch" list for a while. I had an inkling that it would be a grown-up movie pretending to be a kids movie. Plus - I have grown to be a fan of Isabela Merced and have been a huge fan of Eugenio Derbez. It seemed to have the makings of a decent movie.

Motherless Brooklyn is one of those Oscar-contender movies that I must have passed by at least 100 times thinking - "I wanna watch it...but not tonight." You really have to be in the right mindset for - or do you? This movie really surprised me..

I gave a brief explainer at the beginning of the episode, but for the next few, we'll be working around a theme: Actors Out of their Element.
We start off with Daniel Radcliffe - the action star? Not to mention disheveled and crazy-eyed Samara Weaving! Guns Akimbo is a 1980s shoot-em-up movie - set in a "dystopian" (that word seems strangely meaningless these days) future where guns and technology are blended into an online survival game - which is nothing like the description of the movie - but seemed fun ane entertaining none-the-less.

The 2020 movie season has been... an interesting one, to say the least. While theaters are still closed in California (where I live) - the benefits of Disney having its own streaming platform became apparent when they wanted to release their live-action remake of Mulan. I was a little old for the original, but I was excited to have something new to check out.
