So I tried to make this into a ranked list, from 25-1. But I couldn't do it. Because my enjoyment factor for this films is too dependent on my mood of the moment, which varies day by day. So I'll just list them in a somewhat random order (except the last one, I save the … Continue reading My Top 25 Animated Films (not made by Disney, Laika, or Ghibli)

Joker (2019) review
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
RE:Critical Drinker’s “Rambo: Last Blood – A Total Disappointment” video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LKaBY222KQ Ok Critical Drinker. It's time for another drunk reviewer to show how you done fucked up with your critique of this film. First off, Rambo IV is a bit overrated. Sure, the finale is great stuff, but the story really isn't much better than what they came up with for Rambo V. It's just … Continue reading RE:Critical Drinker’s “Rambo: Last Blood – A Total Disappointment” video
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.

So two Mexicans walk … Continue reading Rambo: Last Blood (2019) review

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
Alita: Battle Angle (2019) review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So when this first came out, there were some mixed reactions to it. Then Captain Marvel came out, and a lot of people were like, "See Alita instead, it's way better." Then it went from that to, "Alita is the best female action movie of the year!" Like Captain Marvel was … Continue reading Alita: Battle Angle (2019) review
Song of the South (1946) non-review
Rated: 3 / 5 (calm, soft spoken, yet above a whisper) You know, I remember seeing this as a toddler, off of a VHS recording from a television broadcast, shown at a Daycare center at my school. I don't recall much of the live action bits (boring to kids like me at that age), but was … Continue reading Song of the South (1946) non-review
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
