Rated: 4 / 5 Anti-whiteness: 1.5 / 5 This show created a lot of misconceptions for me back in the day. Because I watched the first season (and a half) of this series back when it first came out, I was under the impression shows in general were more anti-PC back in the day than … Continue reading The Shield (2002-2008) thoughts

Secretary (2002) review
Rated: 3 / 5 A while back, I went hard on those 50 Shades films (first, second, and third) in a series of drunk reviews (I couldn't get through those films sober). I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but I was too easy on those movies. Because I'm ashamed to admit that I … Continue reading Secretary (2002) review

That is probably the biggest lie Mr. Ripley says during the entire movie. Every time he puts on an act or does an impersonation, it is always with the women. Whenever he is with the young men of this movie, for the most part, he is … Continue reading The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
The Mule (2018) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "You have to take time to enjoy these moments in life." "I think you enjoy these moments too much." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI3fN5wvMtM It's films like these that are a bit difficult to review for me.

Untamed Heart (1993) review
Off-Topic Introduction So the past few weeks I've been struggling to find something to write about. There's a few things I've been wanting to get to, but being a spur-of-the-moment kind of guy, I just couldn't summon the willpower to get to them. So first I'm thinking, "Hey, I've recently got through the original Star … Continue reading Untamed Heart (1993) review
Naoki Urasawa’s Monster (2004) review

If you're game enough, you can place your trust in me. For the love of life, there's a trade-off. We … Continue reading Naoki Urasawa’s Monster (2004) review
Brawl in Cell Block 99 review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Skip-able Intro So you remember when I said, "my next review is going to be on a very controversial film that you’ve probably never heard of that you’ll likely only be able to see on a porn site"? Well, guess I lied. I'm putting that on hold for a review or … Continue reading Brawl in Cell Block 99 review
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. It's not like you and your sister came with a book of instructions. You know, if I can help you, tell me. I'll give it my … Continue reading Mermaids (1990) review
It Comes at Night, and The Adventures of the American Rabbit dual review
So some bad news and good news first. The bad news, I got fired from my full-time job. The good news, I can blog more. And I wanted to do 2 films, not because of the special occasion, but because one of these films is so damn bleak that I needed something ridiculously cheery to … Continue reading It Comes at Night, and The Adventures of the American Rabbit dual review
