Rated: 3.5 / 5 Book of the Dead There aren't many horror films like this I actually enjoy. By all accounts, I shouldn't be enjoying this one. It has a lot of the tropes I really hate. Some dumb broad thinking it's a good idea to wander off into the woods by herself, in the … Continue reading The Evil Dead (1981, 2013) review

Sonic the Hedgehog (1996, 2020) dual film review
2020 movie rated: Fuck You / 5 Wokeness: 3 / 5 These types of films can suck my nuts. The same bullshit they pulled with Masters of the Universe, Super Mario Bros., the Smurfs, the Chipmunks, and Rocky & Bullwinkle, they now pull with this film. That whole fucking trend of taking a classic (for … Continue reading Sonic the Hedgehog (1996, 2020) dual film review
The Last of the Mohicans (1992) review
Rated: 4 / 5 Wokeness: 1 / 5 I wish I could make a review where I go satisfactorily in-depth with discussing the themes and such, and be intelligent about drawing parallels to today's society with what this film has to offer beyond just surface level entertainment (of which there is plenty). But I don't … Continue reading The Last of the Mohicans (1992) review
Watchmen film and comic review and comparison
Comic rated: 5 / 5 The test of a politician's greatness is the success of his plans and enterprises -- in other words, his ability to reach his goal. Conversely, the theoretician's final goal can never be reached; human thought may grasp truths and envision ends that it sees with crystal clarity, even though such … Continue reading Watchmen film and comic review and comparison
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
Vietnam – A Television History (1985) review and comparison to the 2017 PBS documentary
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Introduction So this documentary series was recommended by a reviewer or two after watching the Ken Burns and Lynn Novack PBS documentary from 2017 (which left me wanting, and feeling cheated, by the end). When I found out that this documentary series was censored via its 2004 DVD release (compared to … Continue reading Vietnam – A Television History (1985) review and comparison to the 2017 PBS documentary
Jumanji (1995) and Welcome to the Jungle (2017) dual review
Jumanji is one of my favorite films from the 90s. It's not just a good kid-flick, but a good film in general. So when I heard they were making a sequel to it, all I could think was, "Why?" Then I saw the trailer, and I thought, "WHY!?!?!?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QKg5SZ_35I My second thought was, "So this … Continue reading Jumanji (1995) and Welcome to the Jungle (2017) dual review
The Witcher (2007) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Note: I have only played this game with the Full Combat Rebalance (FCR) mod. Any input I provide based on the combat gameplay will be a reflection of this, as this mod does give the game a significant overhaul. Yep, regressed from the 2nd game into the first one. Why? Because … Continue reading The Witcher (2007) review
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. But because I saw this after I read the book, I thought it wasn't all that great. The biggest problem this movie … Continue reading Ender’s Game review and novel comparison
