Trash Can Movie Reviews

Just Trash Cans

So, it has been a while since I have written any film reviews. About two months or something like that. But while the writing may have stopped, I have still been watching as many films as before. I’m not going to write any reviews on any of the movies that I have seen before today but that doesn’t…

A Star Is Born

The last time that I cried in a movie theater was when I saw Arrival for the first time in 2016. The ending was so surprisingly…

Game Over, Man!

“Workaholics” premiered on April 6th, 2011 and introduced the trio of Adam Devine, Anders Holm, and Blake Anderson to a larger audience. The show was well-written and well-received and ran for 7 seasons on Comedy Central. Since “Workaholics” ended back in March 2017, its three stars have gone on to…

Rampage

The Rock makes good movies. I won’t die on that hill, but I will argue it to a point. I even like his less critically acclaimed films like “San Andreas” (directed by Brad Peyton, who also directed this) and “Baywatch.” Yes, you could argue that a lot of his movies are the same, but no, that doesn’t matter. They…

I Feel Pretty

There were two women in my viewing of “I Feel Pretty” who laughed at every single joke in the movie. Even the bad ones. Which, if I’m being honest, was maddening, considering that they were the only ones laughing. Loudly. I don’t think I could accurately describe how those laughs sounded if I tried, but…

Wonder

I had two questions that I needed answered before and while I watched “Wonder.” The first was if Owen Wilson is a good actor. The second was if that was Jacob Trembly’s real voice.

The first of these questions was answered by the end of the film. Owen Wilson is a damn good actor (his…

Adrift

Can something be a little boring but also amazing? I didn’t know that those two things could be felt at the same time. But while watching Adrift (which is based on a true story), I felt myself drifting (get it?) off into daydreams about my weekend only to be brought back when Tami (Shailene Woodley) and Richard…

Rim of the World

When you really sit and think about it, Stranger Things is a miracle. What the Duffer Brothers, that cast, and everyone else that…

Skyscraper

It seems that one of the few ways to explain Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s physique and capacity for getting things done in film (outside of making him a gym loving cocaine addict) is to say that he is/was in the military. Johnson’s characters have been in just about every kind special forces that…
