Everyman Movie Reviews

Robert Cheek

The Everyman Movie Review is a different kind of movie commentary - it's not about the art of movie-making, but rather about the enjoyment and entertainment of the film itself. It's not about me or my opinion, it's about the movie - does it deliver on what it promises? I've been a movie fan my entire life. I'm such a 'fan' - I gave up a lucrative legal career on the east coast and moved to Hollywood to be a part of it. And here I am, living the dream, recording reviews for the internet. But seriously, I was tired of the reviews where the reviewer was more worried about themselves than the mov

    If you don't like this movie, definitely don't research the NDAA - The Torture Report - EMMR (Adam Driver, Corey Stoll, Jon Hamm, Annette Bening)

    Episode 111 of the Everyman Movie Review! So - a note at the beginning - I am clearly sleep deprived because I called this movie the "Terror" Report multiple times in the episode and even in the title card. Sorry about that, it's obviously titled... The Torture Report is YET another movie I regret not seeing on the big screen when I could. It came our originally last fall, and this fall came to streaming on Amazon. It's exactly the kinda movie for me - political thriller based on true events. I'm not the hugest fan of Adam Driver (my Tom Hanks) but I figured I would give it a try. Was I disappointed? Check out the episode to find out!

    Napoleon Dynamite is all grown up & depressed - When Jon Tried to Save the World - EMMR (Jon Heder, Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle, Jim O'Heir, Steve Berg))

    Episode 110 of the Everyman Movie Review! I, like everyone, loved Napoleon Dynamite. I saw the title of this week's movie (When Jeff Tried to Save the World) and thought it was an end of the world movie; they're in pretty heavy rotation for me right now. But I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't exactly what I was expected. Then, I realized it was starring Jon Heder, Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle, Jim O'Heir,  and Steve Berg - seemed like a can't miss! Was I disappointed? Check out the episode to find out!
