‘The Last Duel’ (2021): Review
Just a note, this review will touch on the topic of sexual violence, not in great details but it will discuss it as a topic presented in the film. If this is something that you are sensitive to, please read with caution or click off this review. The Last Duel is the latest movie from…

December 2020 Film Round-Up
With this post, I finally stop talking about 2020 in film, something I feel like I’ve been doing non-stop for weeks. I watched quite a bit in December, mostly as an incentive to catch up on as many anticipated releases in 2020 as I could so I make the most informed list at the end…

Happiest Season (2020): Review
As November falls away and the end of the year beckons, things are getting Christmassy here on When The Credits Roll. My first real ‘Christmas’ movie of the season and what a way to begin.

Palm Springs (2020): Review
As we reach a point in the pandemic where the industry is starting to consider what it would take to release films theatrically again, all eyes seem to be pointing towards the year’s big blockbusters to light the beacon and lead us back into those hallowed auditoriums with our ridiculously-portioned popcorn and drinks the size…

The Half Of It (2020) Review
Premise: When a well-meaning but inexpressive jock asks her to write a love letter to his crush, straight-A student Ellie Chu ends up discovering a lot about herself, love, and life itself. These nice Netflix originals in the YA genre have been hit and miss with me so far, at least out of the ones…

1917 (2019): Review
I love movies. Gosh, I love movies. Keanu Reeves Keanu Reeves may have proclaimed those words, but I have co-opted this as a placeholder for what I want to say about Sam Mendes’ latest release, 1917. Of course I have more to say, but wouldn’t that be an uncharacteristically succinct review from myself? No such…

The Irishman (2019) Review
*Warning for mild spoilers* I remember the first time I heard about The Irishman, Martin Scorsese’s latest feature. I was initially excited, seeing the likes of De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci all set to star. Scorsese’s previous film, Silence, is something I consider a masterpiece, and from any other director it would be a once-in-a-lifetime…
