I made a total of six treks to my local cinema in the month of May. All in all, not the best month. Nothing thoroughly impressed me. On top of that, a film disappointed me and another was trash. Not gonna take long to get to those two, so let’s begin. How to Be a … [Read more…]
I went into Wonder Woman with a sense of hopeful skepticism. Â Unfortunately there’s been a plethora of recreational outrage articles and think pieces trying to divide us along lines of race, gender, and fandom. Â Women-only showings, movie’s not feminist enough, Gail is or isn’t a person of color, you name it and the chimps will … [Read more…]
I realize I’m a month late, but I have a good reason. I got my Switch at the start of April. And I’m a huge Zelda fan. Understandable? Yes. I went to the theaters eight times in the month of March where I saw one movie again. April only gave me four theater trips. MARCH: … [Read more…]
Before our brave western bloggers and social media activists went all Matt Damon to protect our poor Asian brethren from the whitewashing of Danny Rand they asked a more important question; was casting Scarlett Johansson in Ghost in the Shell racist?

Been a busy few weeks, folks. Sorry about the delay. Six trips to the theater in the month of February, although I only saw four new movies. There were several movies I had a small interest in seeing I decided not to bother with. Two of which came out the weekend after Valentine’s Day. … [Read more…]

Â It was also because Iron Man showed that you could make a superhero movie, that looked like a superhero comic, and people would love it. … [Read more…]
I’ve decided to do all 20 films in one big article because this has taken far too long already. SPOILERS AHEAD! Before I start off the countdown, time for the honorable mentions. In no particular order: The BFG, The Accountant, Deepwater Horizon, Hidden Figures, Fences, Hands of Stone, Storks, Don’t Think Twice, Eddie the Eagle, … [Read more…]
Y’all thought this was gonna be the start of my top 20 films of 2016 list, but I ran out of time to finish that before February started. It’ll be nearly three weekends into February by the time even this goes out. I hope to be done with the entire top 20 before the end … [Read more…]
This took me time to do. Sorry about that folks. Haven’t had much free time in the last few weeks. 2016 was a good year, all told. As long as you weren’t a known personality or celebrity fifty years or older. Since I didn’t know any of those people personally, their deaths didn’t really affect … [Read more…]
I recently saw the trailer for the upcoming CHiPs remake coming to theaters and I had such an adverse reaction to what I was seeing, but I was reminded of all the times I’ve rolled my eyes at people going off about “Studios ruining my childhood”. Â It made me pause, but only for a minute. … [Read more…]
