Doom (2016) Review
Rating: 3/5 "It's a glorified arena shooter." This is a review of the single player campaign only. This review does not cover the multiplayer aspect. I played through this on Ultra Violence difficulty until I beat the game (about 12 hours), and played a couple more hours on Nightmare mode. What qualifies me to review … Continue reading Doom (2016) Review
Halloween (1978) Review
Rated: 3/5 Sorry, no new releases this week (wanted to watch and review The Accountant, but circumstances kept me either occupied or at home). So I'll review this old classic, while making a brief comparison to the Rob Zombie remake. I wish I had you all alone. Just the two of us. So first question. … Continue reading Halloween (1978) Review
Shin Godzilla (Resurgence) Review
Source (and no there aren't any EVAs in this movie) Rating: 3/5 I knew there was something wrong with Godzilla's frikkin face when I first saw the trailer. And now I've figured it out.

Deepwater Horizon Review
Rated: 3/5 I don't have anything off the top of my head, so I'll just type and babble and ramble and see what comes of it.

Critique of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver – 9/26/2016 Episode
Source I used to enjoy John Oliver. I liked how he covered various topics that deserve to be covered that a lot of mainstream news wouldn't cover. I liked some of the causes he took up to try and make the world a better place. And sometimes he was funny. I didn't always agree with … Continue reading Critique of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver – 9/26/2016 Episode
The Magnificent Seven (2016) Review
Nah, I'm just screwin' with yah. Bet you didn't know a 1998 version existed did ya? Here's the actual poster for the movie I'm reviewing. Rating: 3/5 Still not a big fan of posters that just show cast members (usually their faces, sometimes full body if you're lucky), and this seems to be a decent … Continue reading The Magnificent Seven (2016) Review
Blair Witch vs. The Blair Witch Project
Rating 1/5 (for Blair Witch 2016) 4/5 (for The Blair Witch Project 1999) "I see why you like this video camera so much. It's not quite reality. It's totally like a filtered reality man. It's like you can pretend everything is not quite the way it is." I enjoyed The Blair Witch Project. It's a … Continue reading Blair Witch vs. The Blair Witch Project

Source Rating 2/5 Source Warning, this review is not safe for work and not safe for kids. Source Source You've been warned. So I originally found out about this film from the podcast Slaughterfilm, episode 144. Mainly … Continue reading Wolfcop Review
