Rated: 3/5 Intro Warning, this review gets political, makes no apologies about it, and gives no free flying fucks if you disagree with it (unless any of you dare to try having an honest discussion with me). You've been warned. The Post, a movie. Like how there was a TV series called The Office. Now … Continue reading The Post (2018) review

On the topic of films “based on true stories/events”
"[...] any time you hear the words 'based on a true story,' that's usually a translation for 'We bought the rights to this story, took out the boring parts, then made up just about everything else.'" -- Bill Simmons "I don't think the movie should be more important than the truth." -- Greg Paspatis "History … Continue reading On the topic of films “based on true stories/events”
Jumanji (1995) and Welcome to the Jungle (2017) dual review
Jumanji is one of my favorite films from the 90s. It's not just a good kid-flick, but a good film in general. So when I heard they were making a sequel to it, all I could think was, "Why?" Then I saw the trailer, and I thought, "WHY!?!?!?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QKg5SZ_35I My second thought was, "So this … Continue reading Jumanji (1995) and Welcome to the Jungle (2017) dual review
Star Wars: The Last Jedi review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So I know what you're thinking. Will this review contain spoilers? You bet your ass it will. I'm gonna spoil the shit out of this movie. But before I do that, there's a few things I need to get off my chest. I'll put up a spoiler warning sign when I … Continue reading Star Wars: The Last Jedi review
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) review
Rated: 4 / 5 "A love story of today." Well, maybe not so much anymore. Or maybe it is. This film has surprising relevancy to today, and I personally find that to be a bit sad. So, in case you haven't ever seen this movie, which I suggest you do considering I've given it a … Continue reading Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) review
Top 20 Fight Scenes
Yep, a top whatever number list. This is by no means definitive, as I'm sure there are plenty of films out there I haven't seen that potentially have fight scenes better than what is listed here. However, I do consider myself to have enough knowledge and experience with action scenes throughout the years to make … Continue reading Top 20 Fight Scenes
Dredd (2012) review
Rated: 4/5 Intro Hey everyone (anyone) who follows this blog. Been a small while since I've posted. Well, some house remodeling has been going on, on top of my part time job temporarily becoming a full-time job. Haven't had much free time to get a hold of a movie that is worth reviewing in length. … Continue reading Dredd (2012) review
The Witcher (2007) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Note: I have only played this game with the Full Combat Rebalance (FCR) mod. Any input I provide based on the combat gameplay will be a reflection of this, as this mod does give the game a significant overhaul. Yep, regressed from the 2nd game into the first one. Why? Because … Continue reading The Witcher (2007) review
Child Bride review
Rated: 2 / 5 Introduction and Context Title says it all doesn't it? Well maybe not, so let me explain the plot and the reasoning for the film's existence. So, keeping in mind that this was released in 1938, well into the Hay's Code timeline (which more or less started in 1930), the film starts … Continue reading Child Bride review
Brawl in Cell Block 99 review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Skip-able Intro So you remember when I said, "my next review is going to be on a very controversial film that you’ve probably never heard of that you’ll likely only be able to see on a porn site"? Well, guess I lied. I'm putting that on hold for a review or … Continue reading Brawl in Cell Block 99 review
