Review of X-Men: The Last Stand
Wow. This…this sucked. Is it unwatchable? No. They do fulfill a couple of promises from the X‑Men canon: we see the Danger Room and a Sentinel. But…In the previous movie, they had Alan Cumming as Nigh...
Review of X2
X2: X‑Men United does a lot of things right. It adds more mutants. It adds light and color. The fights are bigger and better. It’s like they didn’t trust the first movie to do well, so they held back....
Review of X-Men
The ’90s were a bad time for comic book fans. Marvel had filed for bankruptcy and was selling off its IP to different studios. Producers did fifteen minutes of research, stunt‑cast the biggest stars t...
Review of Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
Batman was created by Bob Kane and first published in 1939. That’s nearly nine decades of artists, inkers, and storytellers giving us infinite permutations of this character, each one just as real and...
Review of Fight Club
Me and the baddie I pulled by being schizophrenic.
Review of Her
Wow, what a strange movie and guy. 2013 was such a crazy time. Good thing we don't have anything like this now.
Review of Interview with the Vampire - Season 2
cue dramatic piano music ..And Juan looked up at the painting and saw that Theresa’s dead husband was Roberto. He had eloped with his enemy’s widow. It’s a telenovela!
Review of Interview with the Vampire - Season 1
My favorite genre: Unreliable narrators
Review of Lars and the Real Girl
Lars and the town that loved him :(
Review of Ex Machina
“You tore up her picture!”“I’m gonna tear up this fucking dance floor dude. Check it out.”Not a big fan of that knife situation, but uhhh good for her actually!
Review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I wish I’d stayed. I wish I’d done a lot of things.oh Im SICK
Review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine
When you watch a movie, you're often under the influence of the sunk cost fallacy. Because you've already invested your time and money, you're naturally more inclined to convince yourself that you enj...
A Fresh Spider-Man
I loved Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its sequel. One of the biggest surprises was Spider-Noir, hilariously voiced by Nicolas Cage. He is a version of Spider-Man from a noir universe where the...
Review of Meccha Chameleon
Introducing another simple friend-slop game. It performs well despite being a rough around the edges indie release. Although it will likely end up a passing fad in the same vein as Among Us, it doesn'...
Review of The Prestige
"Are you watching closely?"mmmm yes I think so?"Are You watching closely?"holy fuck
Review of Backrooms
Backrooms displays promising chops from the newcomer. Unfortunately the fun aesthetic and cinematography is dragged down by tired tropes, uninteresting characters, and a meandering script which lacks...
Review of Disclosure Day
Spielberg delivers another saccharinely sentimental movie - this time with extra Catholicism. It's a fun ride with a stunning score and genuinely impressive camera work. Not as moving as his earlier w...
Doin' too much
I wanted this movie to be good. I like Patricia Arquette and Zazie Beetz, and this looked like the kind of fun, over-the-top action film built around showcasing great fight choreography.Can the stunt...
Nostalgia served over ice
Nostalgia is like whiskey: enjoyable in moderation, but not something you should rely on for happiness. Sooner or later, you risk developing an unhealthy relationship with it.Stranger Things lures you...
Oh yeah...THIS movie...
I was sitting at home when a commercial for Justice League came on television. I said to myself that I needed to see it before it left theaters.A moment later, I remembered that I had seen this movie—...
What the !@%$ was that?
Like what you like. If you enjoy Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, then by all means continue to love it. If the movie works for you emotionally, that's perfectly fine. I am being sincere. I do not...
Review of Masters of the Universe
"To thine own self be true." If there is a movie that embodies that sentiment, at least in a meta sense, it is Masters of the Universe. If you can't appreciate a movie that is unapologetically itself...
Aiming for profound but hit soap opera sullen
In high school and college creative writing classes, you inevitably read stories written by your peers that attempt profundity through impossibly hard-luck circumstances, deeply unhappy people, relent...
Back at it
Explosions in the Sky’s sixth album, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care, starts strong and finishes just as strongly. Not since How Strange, Innocence has one of their albums felt so much like a complete...
