Ender’s Game review and novel comparison
Rated: 2/5 WARNING: THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS FOR BOTH THE FILM AND THE NOVEL If I had seen this movie before I read the book, I would have thought it was just ok.

Combat Shock and They Live dual review
So this particular dual review I'm doing at the behest of the 2 guys running the Slaughterfilm podcast.

Loose Change: Final Cut review
Rated: 1/5 Introduction So, 16th anniversary of 9/11. Last year, I thought I had it all covered, with my reviews of United 93, World Trade Center, The Path to 9/11, and even Path to Paradise.

Mermaids (1990) review
Rated: 3/5 "Sometimes I feel like you're the child and I'm the grown up." "You know, sometimes being a mother really stinks. I don't always know what I'm doing.

The Baby-Sitters Club (1995) review
Rated: 3/5 "Everybody knows us, because everybody uses us." No, that line isn't from a film about hookers. It's more innocent than that. The line is from a film about elementary to middle-school to junior high-school aged girls who run the Baby-Sitters Club. A club that takes phone calls from anyone in town who needs … Continue reading The Baby-Sitters Club (1995) review

Rated: 3/5* * = with caveats, especially with dialogue that self-references the year. "Helloooo? This is 1967! I can do whatever I want!" Introduction ... ... ... Ok, so this movie.

But there are times where I get sick and tired of being on edge, of having such a high … Continue reading Detroit review and discussion of Hollywood’s portrayal of racism over the years
