Rated: 3.5 / 5 Introduction This documentary I've been wanting to see for a while. But I've been putting it off because, well, despite wanting to see it, I always find some excuse to watch/do something else instead. But now we're in September, the anniversary is approaching again, and now seems as good a time … Continue reading 9|11 (2002) review, and a cry for united patriotism

Mile 22 (2018) review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So I've been curious to see this film after watching the trailer a while back. I mean, an action film with Mark Whalberg, partnering once again with director Peter Berg, and putting Iko Kuwais of The Raid film in for good measure. It's something I had to see. Unfortunately, it suffered … Continue reading Mile 22 (2018) review
A Prayer Before Dawn (2018) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 The trailer looked promising for this limited release film (so limited it wasn't playing in any of the theaters near me). So I checked to see if Vudu was streaming it. Sure enough, it was, so I made the $6.99 rental purchase. It was worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itsnSJIJHTA This is a film … Continue reading A Prayer Before Dawn (2018) review

Just because most hippies and their parents have sold out, does not mean that you (yeah you), and your children,and their kids won't last! Say your prayers, with the death of a nation!

Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018) review, and a bonus movie.
Rated: 3.5 / 5 This franchise. 1st film should be a case study for how a director can take a mediocre script and turn it into a solid action/thriller. 2nd film is, eh, I don't remember it entirely, it was ridiculous (though it did utilize the who face-mask thing that's been used in a good … Continue reading Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018) review, and a bonus movie.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) trailer reaction
I prefer not doing trailer reviews, mainly because they tend to be pointless in the long-run. Speculation is usually left best-unsaid until the film comes out and is watched and reviewed properly. It's the same reason I don't speculate (and altogether avoid) trailers for video games. They don't always show the relevant bits, and sometimes … Continue reading Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) trailer reaction
In the Line of Duty IV (1989) drunk review
Post fucking-review rating: 3.5 / 5 Semi-Tangent Intro "Well wait a minute, what about 1, 2, and 3? Aren't you going to review those?" Not right now I'm not. "Well shouldn't you watch those first?" Maybe, but I'm not going to. I've heard from others that the first three aren't as good as this one. … Continue reading In the Line of Duty IV (1989) drunk review
The People vs. George Lucas (2010) non-review
Rated: 3 / 5 A bit too hard on him over the prequel films in my opinion (this isn't a film capable of delving into the pros and cons of the prequel trilogy). Then again, it was mostly based on an initial reaction, plus it does take eventually consider the perspective/opinion of the new generation, … Continue reading The People vs. George Lucas (2010) non-review
Star Wars: Goddamnit that’s fucking it!
A Long Massive Intro "If Hollywood isn’t going to risk telling new stories, the least they could do is not fuck up the old ones." -- David Ehrlich I tried. I tried with considerable effort to avoid getting back into discussing this film. I did a review of this film months ago, and I may … Continue reading Star Wars: Goddamnit that’s fucking it!
