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
The Vietnam War: A film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick (2017) review/critique
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
