SATURDAY NIGHT is not flawless but its heart is in the right place
by Billie Anderson, Staff Writer
Ultimately, Saturday Night plays like a historical drama for those who find traditional war films dull.
BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE is nothing more than an attempt to relive the past
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport and Editor in Chief
There may have been a good story somewhere within the hour and forty-five minute runtime of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice unfortunately, the lack of focus made it hard to pinpoint.
KINDS OF KINDNESS is kinda wild
by Rosalie Kicks Old Sport and Editor in Chief
If one is looking for a feel good flick, this ain’t it. Kinds of Kindness will challenge minds, lead to complicated emotions, and most likely have one pining for a meaningless film to watch afterwards or a reason to eat their feelings via an ice cream cone with lots of jimmies.
POOR THINGS is a delightfully bizarre Frankenstein tale
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport & Editor in Chief

The Impossible Royale with Cheese #5: THE BOONDOCK SAINTS
by Alex Rudolph, Staff Writer
There is no reason for you to have heard about The Boondock Saints, but I'll bet you have heard of it and I'll bet another human being, whether in person or via the internet, told you about it, and that doesn't simply happen to any movie.

The Lighthouse
Directed by Robert Eggers
Written by Max Eggers and Robert Eggers
Starring Willem Dafoe, Robert Pattinson, Valeriia Karaman
Running time 1 hour, 49 minutes
MPAA rating R - because of the mermaid sex, farts and f-bombs
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport and Benjamin Leonard, Best Boy
“Bad luck to kill a seabird.”
There is a lot to unpack in Robert Eggers’ latest feature, The Lighthouse, so it only made sense to have this review be more of a conversational piece. After you view the film, it will most likely make sense how we arrived at this decision. It is one of those movies that immediately upon exiting the theater there is an urge to discuss every frame that was seen, every sound bite that was heard and all the feels that were experience. Sit back, relax and join Moviejawn’s Old Sport and Best Boy on the high seas to discuss this hypnotic tale of adventure about two lighthouse keepers.
Mountain
Directed by Jennifer Peedom (2017)
