Rated: 2.5 / 5 The Vietnam War. Probably the most controversial war America has ever gotten involved in that has people bickering about it to this day. Why did we go in there? Was it ever winnable? Should we have ever gone in there? What were our initial intentions, and how did they change? What … Continue reading The Vietnam War: A film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick (2017) review/critique

Roar (1981) review
Rated: Either 2/5 or 5/5, depending on how you look at it. Saying that this film was released in 1981 is a bit deceiving, considering it took nearly a decade to actually finish shooting it, on a 12 million dollar budget. That aside, this movies is pure insanity. You know those horror stories about what … Continue reading Roar (1981) review
Resident Evil 7 (2017) review
Rated: 2.5-3 / 5 (depending on my mood) Completely Tangent Intro So I was playing through The Witcher 3, with all the DLC installed. And after, I don't know, between 50-60 hours of playing, as good as that game is, all I could think was, "Goddamnit, isn't this fucking game over yet? How fucking long … Continue reading Resident Evil 7 (2017) review
Fifty Shades Freed (2018) review (April drunken Fools edition)
Rated: Take a fucking guess. Been a while since I've done this, but it's been a regular thing with each Fifty Shades of Butt-Fucking film that's come out over the past couple years, so I mine as well as finish it all the way to the climax. Climax, something none of these films have ever … Continue reading Fifty Shades Freed (2018) review (April drunken Fools edition)
Migrating from Facebook (plus a pre-2016-election debate)
For about a year now, I've been looking for an excuse to get out of Facebook; delete my account. I haven't really been using it to catch up with or communicate with friends I'll likely never see again. Been mostly using it just for news updates. Well, considering how they've been biased about news posts, … Continue reading Migrating from Facebook (plus a pre-2016-election debate)
Magic Realm (1979) epic review
Edit (9-4-2023): for those who came here from BoardGameGeek, fuck Octavian and all the BGG moderators. So a while back I mentioned I was working on a couple projects, that I would eventually get around to making a post on one of them. Well, it's time. Rating: 5 / 5 It is meant to be … Continue reading Magic Realm (1979) epic review
The Power of the Dark Crystal (November 2017) comic review
Rated: 1.5 / 5 So in case you didn't know, The Dark Crystal is my favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it: the music, the practical effects, the old-school special effects, the simple story, the creatures, the lore, the philosophy, etc. I love practically everything about that movie. So I was a … Continue reading The Power of the Dark Crystal (November 2017) comic review
Death Wish (2018) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "So you're going to save the animal that shot him!?" "If I can." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzOYdNkKINA Rant So I was interested in seeing this film in November of last year when it was set to release, but then it got pushed back to May 2, 2018, due to concerns of it being released … Continue reading Death Wish (2018) review
Lords of Hellas review
Rated: 5 / 5 I backed this game on kickstarter, and I believe I can say this could turn out to be my favorite kickstarter backed game next to The Lord of the Ice Garden (which also originates from Poland, along with the novel series which that game is based off of, which currently doesn't … Continue reading Lords of Hellas review
Annihilation (2018) review
Rated: 5 / 5 Wait, no, that's not right. Time must be messing with my head. Rated: 3 / 5 There, that's better. So I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this movie. Ok, that's a lie, I knew exactly what to expect in terms of plot. This is another one of … Continue reading Annihilation (2018) review
