A Whole Day in the Further
I need to try and make sure this doesn't sound like it's an Oompa Loompa song because that isn't my intention. Try and frame it accordingly. What do you get with a full Saturday with zero obligations and a well worn pattern of questionable decision making when it comes to movie marathons? Well that would be a speed run, of sorts, through the existing catalog of Insidious films 1-5.

I suppose re-introductions might be in order. I’m not particularly sure how the rules of etiquette dictate this situation, per se. It’s been a good while since I’ve done this but I’m pretty sure it’s like riding a bike in the fact that one of us might need a helmet. Around these parts they call me “Nighthawk”. Sure, it’s a badass name that makes it sound like maybe I fight …

JUN 16, 2020 · THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND
A-The King of Staten Island
It’s been right at about 3 months since I’ve actually been to the theater. It was sometime in mid March when I saw “The Invisible Man”. If I was a more tedious person I might go look up the actual date but I’m comfortable estimating. I’m pretty sure in recent years that its the longest I’ve gone without a trip to the multiplex for something. Being in the theater feels …

APR 1, 2020 · DOWNHILL
CDownhill is Cringey Dramedy Done Well
The 2020 February comedy starring Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus did a few things wrong but I feel like they snowballed into an avalanche of unfair criticism. See what I did there? And then what I did there by saying “See what I did there?” Both were quite clever given the subject matter. So I feel like this particular review is off to a decent start. But lets not focus …

MAR 11, 2020 · SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL
No Need to Keep This Spencer Confidential
If you chat me up about movies for even just a few minutes, you’ve got a a pretty solid chance of me rambling about something pertaining to Ryan Reynolds. He’s clearly one of my favorites that ever was. There’s really no substitution for him but in the same way that I’ll gladly accept a grape Fanta if you’re out of Orange, I’ll happily entertain a Mark Wahlberg flick any day …

MAR 7, 2020 · THE INVISIBLE MAN
C+How Visible Should “The Invisible Man” Be?
So tonight I decided that it had been too long since I’ve been to the theater and I needed to get back in the cinematic swing of things. I hadn’t originally intended on seeing “The Invisible Man” in theaters but thought I might catch it down the road a little bit when it was on a streaming service or I could find it perhaps in a second hand store for …

the greatest parody movie of all time
Nobody knows parody and satire like Mel Brooks. Not the Wayans. Not the Zucker Bros.

OPINION · BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
Batman v Superman: Take Deux
Ok so as per usual I’m going sort of stream of consciousness here. Its not like this is a really formal venue for cinematic discussion as is. I may very well only be writing this for Ron and myself to read. But the exercise is still a valid one that I enjoy. I’m not sure what really prompted this. I know we were discussing Batmen the other day, and yes …

The Streaming Boonies
So maybe I’m a glutton for my own punishment tonight but this is a topic I’ve been meaning to write about for a little while now. I’ve actually started this topic once or twice but hadn’t seen it through to the end. Right now we are overwhelmed with streaming services and it seems like a new one pops up every other day. Sure, there’s the main stage performers like Netflix …

OPINION · TROLLS WORLD TOUR
Trolls World Tour Worth the Price of Admission
This past weekend, whether you knew it or not, you were privy to a turning point in movie history. There’s probably been a number of different rites of passage that the cinematic industry has undergone in my lifetime but I’d hesitate to say all of them were as noteworthy as the digital rental release of “Trolls World Tour”. I know, it seems a bit silly to hype this up as …

One Matinee Ticket for Coronapocalypse, Please
So things are a just a smidgen nuttier than the cumulative total of all rejected goodies from a 3rd grade bake sale right now. Everybody is stuck inside. Celebrities are flooding social media with videos pining for our collective attention. Its a very weird and rare time to be alive. And amidst all the anxiety ridden, panic inducing, toilet paper hoarding fury we are finding a new way of life …

OPINION · MAX VON SYDOW
A Fond Farewell to Max Von Sydow
Hearing the news today that Max Von Sydow had passed was admittedly not a shock as he’s seemed relatively “up there” for a while now, though there’s always some element of surprise when a celebrity passes. Even at age 90, Sydow was still churning out films with his last project listed in post production status according to IMDb. A quick review shows that he has 163 credits as an actor …

FEATURED COUNTDOWN
the big one
I think most normal people don't get the type of anxiety I do when someone asks me what my favorite movie is. And I know if you're reading this you're nodding your head along with me, ""Yes Ron. We understand it's an insane question to ask a person who loves movies as much as WE do." I mean to put somebody on the spot like that, it's RIDICULOUS. My point is, if you see a guy walking your way wearing a t-shirt that reads "There is only one "Return" and it's not of the King" the polite thing to do would be to ask them, "Isn't Return of the Jedi amazing?" and they will embrace you like a brother. Here's a list of the top 10 movies I'm comfortable disclosing...on this day.

The Accountant
Hey there Cinemaster fans, it’s your old pal Nighthawk aka Adam Peterson. It’s been a little while since I’ve labored over the written word when it comes to movies and I’d kind of like to get back into the habit of it all. I’d like to promise up front that I’ll do my best to be consistent in returning to this venue to reprise my thoughts regularly on the films …

In Your Eyes
For every time that I hear “WHAT? You haven’t seen _______??” with something that is well known in the main stream world of movies, there’s all kinds of flicks that come my way through one means or another that aren’t on anyone’s radar. This is one of those movies that came my way via a very special friend of mine. I picked it up a while ago on that recommendation …
