Rated: 3.5 / 5 (might go up on a rewatch) Look at this as a way to sneak a real movie in the studio system under the guise of a comic book film. -- Todd Phillips, director of Joker So this isn't going to be a review so much as just thoughts that spur to … Continue reading Joker (2019) review

Rambo: Last Blood (2019) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 There will be spoilers in this review. So if you haven't seen the movie yet, you have been warned. That being said, I'll be making up some bullshit so that you can't tell when I'm being serious and honest as opposed to sarcastic and busting your balls. So two Mexicans walk … Continue reading Rambo: Last Blood (2019) review
The Shining (1980) review and analysis
Rated: 4.5 / 5 "I'm sorry to differ with you sir. But *you* are the Caretaker. You have *always* been the Caretaker. I should know sir, I have *always* been here." A lot of people tend to think of this film as a horror movie, or at the very least a thriller. About a family … Continue reading The Shining (1980) review and analysis

The Time Machine (1960 vs. 2002) review and comparison
1960 rated: 3.5 / 5 2002 rated: 2.5 / 5 So having rewatched this film and the 2002 remake, I figured now would be a good time to compare the two (ie state why this film is better than the remake). So first of all, right from the get-go, the protagonists have completely different motivations … Continue reading The Time Machine (1960 vs. 2002) review and comparison
Schindler’s List (1993) review
Rated: 2 / 5 Rather than telling a story with universal meaning, however, Spielberg has instead made what can only be called a "Jewish" film; that is, a film by Jews, about Jews, and for Jews to use against non-Jews. -- Greg Raven "It's human nature. 'We'll do this to avoid that.'" "That's what they … Continue reading Schindler’s List (1993) review
