Continued from part 2. Fact-Checking Something else to consider. Aside from the bullshit reasons for trying to keep the film off the air, and the reasons for keeping the film off of DVD/Blu-Ray distribution (so far succeeding on that front), it would be a good idea to bring up the criticisms the film is facing. … Continue reading The Path to 9/11 Review/Analysis Part 3

Rating: 4/5 Note: See part 1 for more information on this film. Analysis of the Film The film is made in a Paul Greengrass style (ironic, considering that United 93 was released in the same year, as was Oliver Stone's World Trade Center; 2006 was quite a year for 5 year 9/11 anniversary films), and … Continue reading The Path to 9/11 Review/Analysis: Part 2

Don’t Breathe Review

I’m starting to think film critics are seeing the recent competence in horror films like The Witch and Lights Out, and are beginning to confuse it with simple competence. Neither one of those films were bad, mind you, I just didn’t think these movies were going to lead us to the Promised Land. -- Chris … Continue reading Don’t Breathe Review

"Great. Freedom of religion protects a bunch of murdering fanatics. And if these guys feel like blowing us off with a line of sermon there's not a goddamn thing we can do about it. Back home the police would be shoving barb wire up their asses. No wonder they all come here." "America. A great … Continue reading Path to Paradise Review

Taking a break from my 9/11 film reviews- "What? But you just got started!" "Shutup. It's my blog and I'll do what I want." I'm curious about films like these I missed out on during my childhood. 90s kid films that are genuine in their intentions and aren't comedies that use dumb slapstick humor. Pretty … Continue reading Jack the Bear Review

Welp, I've officially started my film countdown to the 15 year 9/11 anniversary, which just so happens to be the 10 year anniversary of this film, and of 2 other significant 9/11 films. 2006 was quite a year. I was hesitant to watch this film at first because I heard it was boring, with most … Continue reading World Trade Center Review

"If you must blink, do it now." Like we needed you to tell us that. Yeah it's not bad. Wouldn't say I thought it was quite the masterpiece others have made it out to be, but it's better than the second batch of trailers led me to believe.

This has nothing to do with the movie, but I've been listening to the hell out of this bitchin' song: Oh my God. I had a feeling this was going to be bad, walked into it expecting to be bad. It did turn out to be bad. But, I mean, wow, this went bad in … Continue reading Ben-Hur (2016) Review
