Rated: 3.5 / 5 Made after the 2008 housing market crash, this is a film that hasn't lost a single ounce of relevance. It's a corporate thriller about a corrupt bank, and the efforts to expose the corruption and put those who are responsible in prison. Problem is, any potential witness, and potential whistle-blower, gets … Continue reading The International (2009) and its relevance

Eye in the Sky (2015) review
Rated: 3 / 5 This is an old review from letterboxd (before my account was deleted). "Never tell a soldier he doesn't understand the casualties of war." Honestly, I thought that quote was more fitting than the one they used at the start of the movie: "In war, truth is the first casualty." Was looking … Continue reading Eye in the Sky (2015) review
Entertainment Industry Nostalgia: 1990 in review
When I first started this little nostalgia trip endeavor, I wasn't thinking too seriously about it. My intention was to prove to myself (and anyone else who was curious) that the 90s was an overall better decade in the entertainment industry than the 2010s are (or were, in the present-tense). After going through each month … Continue reading Entertainment Industry Nostalgia: 1990 in review

RE: WotW and Black Pilled’s white nationalist Joker critiques
So I made a review of that film Joker in the past. Like Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I thought that would be the end of my opinions on the film on this site. Like Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I thought wrong. Only this time, it's not some SJW dumbshits that I'm responding to. … Continue reading RE: WotW and Black Pilled’s white nationalist Joker critiques

My Top 50 Films
At some point in time, everyone makes a list like this. That being said, I doubt this list will ever be set in stone. Tastes in film change over time. Some films that were your favorite at one point may drop down several levels at another point. And since I doubt I'd repeatedly make another … Continue reading My Top 50 Films
Christmas, its songs, and the Greatest Christmas Movie of all Time
What is the meaning of Christmas? It's meaning has being altered (to put it lightly) over the centuries. Initially, it meant the day Christ was born (even though it's highly likely he wasn't born on December 25). The significance being to celebrate the birth of a man who would go on to make the world … Continue reading Christmas, its songs, and the Greatest Christmas Movie of all Time
Richard Jewell (2019) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "Jewell fits the profile of the lone bomber. A frustrated white man who was a police wannabe who seeks to become a hero." If Steven Spielberg's 2018 film The Post is a message about the importance of the press and how they should never be suppressed from reporting the truth, then … Continue reading Richard Jewell (2019) review
The Simpsons: S2E9: Itchy & Scratchy & Marge
Skippable Intro So I'm going to do something a little different. Rather than review an entire series, or an entire season of a show, I'm going to do an episode review. Besides, when it comes to a show like the Simpsons, most die-hard fans will agree that this show has been dying a slow death … Continue reading The Simpsons: S2E9: Itchy & Scratchy & Marge
