Hello, and welcome to Mallards Movies – we’re glad you’re here. Mallards Movies began with two guys who loved to watch movies, write, and make jokes about them. If you’re here, there’s a good chance you enjoy those things as well. The format of the blog is simple: At the beginning of each month, eight… Read more

For the first week of August, I was able to choose the first selection. Once we rolled the dice, Maxwell said “Oh one of my favorite movies is here this month.” So naturally, I asked which one (I was secretly hoping his answer would be “Toy Story Toons: Small Fry (2011).”) However, the actual answer… Read more

Here are the movies and the dates on tap for this month, August 2026. Since Maxwell picked first last month, Seann picked first this month. August is our second month with five Sundays, so we’ve decided again to have (actual) friends of the blog, Sarah and London, write guest reviews again for the BONUS WEEK.… Read more

For my final week of July, I was stuck with a movie that neither Maxwell, nor I wanted to watch: Joker (2019)… I’m going to start off with my overall thoughts on this movie: It was actually pretty just okay. I was surprised by how much I didn’t hate it, but also it left me… Read more

For my movie this week, I randomly took a stab in the dark and ended up with Otherhood (2019). I was really trying to avoid the movie that I am unfortunately stuck with for next week… But that’s something I’ll write about next week. Anyway, this is a movie that is so far from my… Read more

For the second week of July, Maxwell chose one of the two horror movies in the draft, so I immediately chose the other one as my pick. Maxwell is someone who doesn’t typically watch horror or enjoy that genre as a whole, while I am someone who has a love for horror and enjoys seeing… Read more

My first selection for July was a complete shot in the dark at a movie I had never heard of, Upside Down (2012). A grandiose love story about a universe with twin planets. This movie starts off in an entirely aggravating way, the opening monologue is only four and a half minutes in length, but… Read more

Here are the movies and the dates on tap for this month, July 2026. Since Seann picked first last month, Maxwell picked first this month. Quite the selection!

My final film for June was Untraceable (2008). A psychological crime thriller about a serial killer live streaming his murders. Based on the premise alone, I was not expecting much from this week’s pick. And I was pleasantly surprised. This one was very enjoyable, albeit a little slow paced in the first act. I had… Read more

For the third week of June, I drafted a movie called Strange Days (1995) that I had never heard of previously. Upon reading the synopsis, and watching it, I truly feel that this would be a movie my dad would have “enjoyed” and said his infamous phrase “it has some redeeming qualities” about. So the… Read more

For the second week of June, I drafted a movie I had never heard of, despite there being plenty of (probably) more interesting picks left, but sometimes I like to force myself to watch something that I normally wouldn’t. In the past (maybe not for this blog) I have been surprised, and ended up having… Read more
