Post fucking-review rating: 3.5 / 5 Semi-Tangent Intro "Well wait a minute, what about 1, 2, and 3? Aren't you going to review those?" Not right now I'm not. "Well shouldn't you watch those first?" Maybe, but I'm not going to. I've heard from others that the first three aren't as good as this one. … Continue reading In the Line of Duty IV (1989) drunk review

The People vs. George Lucas (2010) non-review
Rated: 3 / 5 A bit too hard on him over the prequel films in my opinion (this isn't a film capable of delving into the pros and cons of the prequel trilogy). Then again, it was mostly based on an initial reaction, plus it does take eventually consider the perspective/opinion of the new generation, … Continue reading The People vs. George Lucas (2010) non-review
The Witcher 3 (2015) review
Rated: 4.5 / 5 Exhausted. Weary. Done. Finished. I first played this game when it first came out; finished my first playthrough after roughly 80 hours. I enjoyed the experience, though I was glad to see it end. 3 years later, I got back into it again, knowing that there were expansions to play, updates … Continue reading The Witcher 3 (2015) review
Star Wars: Goddamnit that’s fucking it!
A Long Massive Intro "If Hollywood isn’t going to risk telling new stories, the least they could do is not fuck up the old ones." -- David Ehrlich I tried. I tried with considerable effort to avoid getting back into discussing this film. I did a review of this film months ago, and I may … Continue reading Star Wars: Goddamnit that’s fucking it!
Babylon 5 (1994-1998) series review
Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 Introduction There are times when I get sick of watching movies, and seek out great television shows. Usually I seek out shows that have already been seen through to completion, and dive in at that point. Because I hate getting into shows that have no ending, that were cancelled before … Continue reading Babylon 5 (1994-1998) series review
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) review
Rated: 4 / 5 "It knows only that it needs, Commander. But, like so many of us... it does not know what." [...] "Each of us... at some time in our lives, turns to someone - a father, a brother, a God... and asks..."Why am I here? What was I meant to be?"" So the … Continue reading Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) review
The Youth of the Nation: Finding Forrester (2000)
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "Do you know what people are most afraid of?" "What?" "What they don't understand. And when we don't understand, we turn to our assumptions." Only real issues I had with this movie was a bit of preachiness on the part of Busta Rhymes near the end, saying something like, "They let … Continue reading The Youth of the Nation: Finding Forrester (2000)
It’s Not Just A Movie: The Importance of Films
It’s true that there are many, many movies that are “just movies,” entertaining enough but with little weight behind them. And there are many movies that are nothing more than complete wastes of time and space. But the ones that really grip people’s imaginations, the ones that inspire passionate discussions and debates, the ones that … Continue reading It’s Not Just A Movie: The Importance of Films
Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy (1999-2005) epic review
Yep it's here. Let's do this. So revisiting this trilogy after a few years, I have to admit, it's a bit better than I remember. Probably because I was too young to give a shit about the political elements. And make no mistake, this trilogy is heavy handed with the political messaging. Yet it succeeds … Continue reading Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy (1999-2005) epic review
Vietnam – A Television History (1985) review and comparison to the 2017 PBS documentary
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Introduction So this documentary series was recommended by a reviewer or two after watching the Ken Burns and Lynn Novack PBS documentary from 2017 (which left me wanting, and feeling cheated, by the end). When I found out that this documentary series was censored via its 2004 DVD release (compared to … Continue reading Vietnam – A Television History (1985) review and comparison to the 2017 PBS documentary
