Shazam! (2019) and Venom (2018) review

Rated: 2.5 / 5 There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people [...] ever imagine that they are guilty themselves.  I have heard people admit that they are bad-tempered, or … Continue reading Shazam!

Movie review for April 1st, 2019

Hello, this is BT.  I had the The Anomalous Host taken out in order to stop him from putting up anymore misogynistic cisgendered white nationalist fascist racist deplorable reviews.  To help those of you who follow him get educated so that you know how hurtful and harmful his words are to people like me and … Continue reading Movie review for April 1st, 2019

Ferguson: A Report From Occupied Territory (2015) review

Rated: 2.5 / 5 This review appears to be shadow-banned on letterboxd, so I'm porting it over here.  Originally reviewed October 4, 2016.   "For example one teacher said that she felt that Darren Wilson wasn't wrong, that she felt that he should've shot him."

Metropolis (2001)

Homegrown: The Counter-Terror Dilemma (2016)

Rated: 4 / 5 I expected this documentary to be more of a one-sided "make peace, not war" film which showed how muslims are becoming unjustly discriminated against and imprisoned for being potential jihadists, but are really just nice people.

Mystery (for now) review for Black History Month (because there’s no white history month)

"There's a difference between having black skin and black thinking." -- Spike Lee [1] Long Introduction So lately I've been told to lighten up.  To not take things so seriously.  Just lighten up, stop looking for metaphorical messages within films that you find insulting, and just enjoy the damn movie.  That's the message I got … Continue reading Mystery (for now) review for Black History Month (because there’s no white history month)

Kull the Conqueror (1997) review

Rated: 4 / 5 "Your bride is over 3000 years old." "She said she was 19!" This movie was made for me. I knew I would be in for a good time when the film opened with a fight sequence with Kevin Sorbo and his long chest-length "metal band" hair with heavy metal music being … Continue reading Kull the Conqueror (1997) review

Home Alone review

Rated 4 / 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4UwdlWozBw The film starts off with an eerie title sequence, beginning with a full moon with some dark clouds around it, which disappears as a lone blue 2D drawn house comes into view along with the title words "Home Alone," as the single window of the house lights up. It emanates … Continue reading Home Alone review
