Rated: 3 / 5 (might improve sometime in the future when I decide to rewatch this show) And slowly, you come to realize, it's all as it should be. You can only do so much. If you're game enough, you can place your trust in me. For the love of life, there's a trade-off. We … Continue reading Naoki Urasawa’s Monster (2004) review

Regarding Letterboxd.com, and my downward spiral.
LetterBoxD. I've been a member of that site since March 2013 (for over 5 years now), thanks to recommendations from the podcast Slaughterfilm. What kept me invested in this website was how one could log the films they've watched, optionally rate the film from 1/2 a star to 5 stars (so it's more like a … Continue reading Regarding Letterboxd.com, and my downward spiral.

Cinema Paradiso (1988) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "Life isn't like in movies. It's much harder." It's films like these that make me glad to be an avid film-watcher. Films that show how powerful film can be, the emotions they carry, the memories they hold, and how they cause one to reflect upon life. That doesn't mean I … Continue reading Cinema Paradiso (1988) review
“Spygate” Living Blog Post
Note made after writing everything below the Introduction: Fuck me sideways to Atlantis, this is overwhelmingly ridiculous. I started out typing this post just wanting my own personal page to continually update with information regarding Trump/Russia/Spygate/etc. Mainly the names of people and organizations, so I can keep track of who to definitely not trust, who … Continue reading “Spygate” Living Blog Post
Fahrenheit 451 (2018) review and comparison to the novel
Rated: 2 / 5 So they did it, they made a modern adaptation of the novel (itself I have reviewed). How is it compared to the novel? As in most novel-to-film adaptations, not as good. And it suffers from some of the problems that I feared it would. Yet does have some balls with some … Continue reading Fahrenheit 451 (2018) review and comparison to the novel
The Youth of the Nation: Suicide Club
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDKwCvD56kw Introduction Over the past couple weeks, my drive has slowed to a crawl. I have no one but myself to blame, for the most part. I have a bad habit of taking on too many projects at once, from television series (attempting to make a review for Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Babylon 5, Vietnam - … Continue reading The Youth of the Nation: Suicide Club
Jumanji animated series (1996-1999) review
So you remember a while back when I did a review for both Jumanji movies, and briefly mentioned that there was an animated show back in the 90s? Well, I finally got around to purchasing a copy, and watched the whole thing. It was mainly nostalgia that drove me to revisit it more than curiosity. … Continue reading Jumanji animated series (1996-1999) review
Star Wars: Original Trilogy (1977-1983) review
Alright, I think I've held off long enough on reviewing these films, so let's get to it. But it should be mentioned that I am not a major die-hard fan of the Star Wars franchise. I've only really watched the movies, I haven't ever gotten into the spin-off comics, novels, or tv shows. So I … Continue reading Star Wars: Original Trilogy (1977-1983) review
A Debate on Critiquing Film Objectively vs. Subjectively
So this conversation I had about a year ago, which I forgot about until now, came about somewhat randomly when talking about how much Ghostbusters: Answer the Call sucked loads of diarrhea ass. You may find it worth a read. matthew There is something odd about your acknowledgement that humour is subjective but then … Continue reading A Debate on Critiquing Film Objectively vs. Subjectively
