Rated: 3.5 / 5 (might go up on a rewatch) Look at this as a way to sneak a real movie in the studio system under the guise of a comic book film. -- Todd Phillips, director of Joker So this isn't going to be a review so much as just thoughts that spur to … Continue reading Joker (2019) review

A response to a #BLM supporter.
A "review" for the film The Hate U Give made by Letterboxd user ScreeningNotes: ”It is impossible to be unarmed when our blackness is the weapon that they fear.” The police is a racist institution. White people have more social, political, and economic privilege than black people. That needs to change. If you think Blue Lives … Continue reading A response to a #BLM supporter.
RE:Critical Drinker’s “Rambo: Last Blood – A Total Disappointment” video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LKaBY222KQ Ok Critical Drinker. It's time for another drunk reviewer to show how you done fucked up with your critique of this film. First off, Rambo IV is a bit overrated. Sure, the finale is great stuff, but the story really isn't much better than what they came up with for Rambo V. It's just … Continue reading RE:Critical Drinker’s “Rambo: Last Blood – A Total Disappointment” video
Rambo: Last Blood (2019) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 There will be spoilers in this review. So if you haven't seen the movie yet, you have been warned. That being said, I'll be making up some bullshit so that you can't tell when I'm being serious and honest as opposed to sarcastic and busting your balls.

The Shining (1980) review and analysis
Rated: 4.5 / 5 "I'm sorry to differ with you sir. But *you* are the Caretaker. You have *always* been the Caretaker. I should know sir, I have *always* been here." A lot of people tend to think of this film as a horror movie, or at the very least a thriller. About a family … Continue reading The Shining (1980) review and analysis
Phantasy Star I-IV (1988-1995) review
A couple months ago I felt this urge to go back to retro gaming. I don't mean retro PC, I don't mean downloading an emulated game on the PC. I mean actual old-school console gaming. But I found myself in a predicament. I used to own a Sega Genesis, and a decent game collection for … Continue reading Phantasy Star I-IV (1988-1995) review
Alita: Battle Angle (2019) review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So when this first came out, there were some mixed reactions to it. Then Captain Marvel came out, and a lot of people were like, "See Alita instead, it's way better." Then it went from that to, "Alita is the best female action movie of the year!" Like Captain Marvel was … Continue reading Alita: Battle Angle (2019) review
Song of the South (1946) non-review
Rated: 3 / 5 (calm, soft spoken, yet above a whisper) You know, I remember seeing this as a toddler, off of a VHS recording from a television broadcast, shown at a Daycare center at my school. I don't recall much of the live action bits (boring to kids like me at that age), but was … Continue reading Song of the South (1946) non-review
