In the past I’ve harked about mislaid bricks in franchise films, and how poorly laid bricks lead to compounding failure, or the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This movie is the latter. The Suicide Squad is a ridiculous, bloody, meta, hilarious, excellent movie that absolutely deserves a watch. The writing is intelligent, the story is captivating,... Continue Reading →
I’m a huge fan of James Wan. The man has true horror vision, and his two recent franchises Insidious and The Conjuring have completely riveted me. I was genuinely terrified by the first Insidious when it came out, and The Conjuring 2 after that. When I heard The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It... Continue Reading →
WHOOO Boy this movie. The Green Knight is one of the trippiest, most artsy farsty, balls to the wall insane, self indulgent movies I’ve ever seen. The Green Knight is a movie you will not finish if you don’t watch in theaters or completely stoned. It’s a stunning mindfuck of a film, and you will... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I sat down and watched all five movies in the The Twilight Saga in a row, back to back, without breaks or distractions. I have transformed into a husk of a man, completely embroiled in my own self pity and wanderlust for the lush forests of Northwestern America. I suffered fever dreams of chiseled...

Flipped is a cute little movie about two kids learning about love and growth and life and trees. I don’t have too much to say about it, because it’s honestly a very plain movie, with a lot of self-indulgent satisfaction. It’s also frustrating that the movie builds up a lot of this tension, and then... Continue Reading →
Some pretty person suggested I go through Steven Soderbergh’s filmography due to his influence on modern cinema. He’s gained a lot of fame and recognition for his innovative filmmaking early on, and wider appeal for his slick, witty, Ocean’s heist films. Since Contagion has a lot of relevance to the COVID-19 pandemic that’s perhaps nearing... Continue Reading →
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 →
Woof. What happened here? Marvel’s Black Widow is one of the few times I’ve felt that an MCU film was more miss than hit. I really wanted to like it, and there’s a lot to like. But there’s also some key chunks that are missing that really, really annoyed me. It feels like a tragic,... Continue Reading →
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 →
I hated this movie. It was so forced and plastic and loud. So loud. Boom People worship Cartoon Network. They love crap like Ed Edd and Eddy and Chowder and Flapjack. Look. You’re not wrong for liking what you like and I adore the fact that people my age have a different favorite show than... Continue Reading →
