Coming to America is one of my all-time favorite films. The ultimate comfort/guilty pleasure movie for me. A film that has stood the test of time, and remains a classic that I could watch anytime of anyday. It's a time capsule of 80's romantic dreams. A powerhouse of vulgar comedy mixed with angelic morals that makes me feel that special kind of fuzzy. Eddie Murphy is at his absolute peak here, delivering multiple iconic performances through just a single film.…

He stole the…

I would even say that this is a pretty decent movie. However, I spent a lot of it's very lengthy runtime wondering when it was supposed to scare me. Some scenes do have a first-person giallo kind-of feel to them, which I did appreciate. I can only speculate this is part…

Nope 2022
Jordan Peele is unquestionably a talented director. The man knows how to frame a scene, and he seems to take a lot of pride in presenting his vision. I also appreciate that he isn't making the exact same movie over and over, which is refreshing in this age of regurgitated ideas.
