Agents of SHIELD is one of the best superhero shoes out there. The characters are complex and nuanced, the storylines are believable and engaging, the effects border on acceptable. I get it. The show is cheesy. It’s campy, it’s cringey, it’s lo-fi. I’m not saying it’s the most polished, cinematic, earth shattering piece of media... Continue Reading →
The Tomorrow War
I used my twitter feed as a guide to write this review, as I used my friends’ patience as a sounding board for my livestreamed mania as I blundered through The Tomorrow War, furiously screaming into the abyss of the internet, eager for someone's attention - or better yet, validation. Best case scenario, Chris Pratt... Continue Reading →
Finding ‘Ohana
So I watched this movie at a 50 degree angle from a 10 year old TV with my parents sitting on an uncomfortable cushion. This movie was awesome. It’s definitely a kids’ movie, and if you expect anything different, then shut up and go away. How do we even pronounce 'Ohana The main character little... Continue Reading →
Archive
Archive is one of those ‘high concept’ sci fi movies with robots and AI. It draws extremely heavy inspiration from Ex Machina, one of the more successful releases in this subgenre of sci fi. It also has imagery and concepts similar to Netflix’s Mother (which wasn’t very good), the live action Ghost in the Machine... Continue Reading →

Before that was The Walking Dead, which is apparently still… on air? Snyder’s Army of the Dead is the first time I... Continue Reading →
Sinister 2
Yeah this movie sucked. Nothing to write home about. How Scary Was It? It was ok. The first sinister dug into my fear of photographs and scary shit coming from them and movies, but this one used the photography thing as a prop, and the big scary thing was the kids. It was stupid and... Continue Reading →
The Big Short (2015)
I watched this movie at around midnight while sipping on a beer, and an empty stomach. About an hour at about 1am, I emailed my advisor demanding that she sign me up for a class on stocks, the market and the Bloomberg Terminal. I was hyped. The next morning my stock portfolio dipped some 21%. ... Continue Reading →
