Review of End
Explosions in the Sky
Explosions in the Sky always find a way to balance growth and staying true to themselves. It’s not easy for any band to do that, let alone a group that has been making music for 26 years. I’ve said as...
Gore
Deftones
“The one blemish on an otherwise stellar discography. A mess of ideas that don't work, mired in some of their worst sounding production. This is redeemed by only a couple of decent tracks - notably, Hearts/Wires, which is oddly one of my favorite songs they've written.”
Titan A.E.
“Right up my alley but I am pretty sure I as 1 of 30 or so people that saw this. Good animation, fascinating story, good voice cast. I think the story could have used another pass or two in the script writing stage. Fox Animation Studios apparently didn't advertise this out of fear it wouldn't be completed in the time table they allowed. This movie's failure ended the studio.”
The Penguin - Miniseries
“Wherein Tony Soprano starts a new life in Gotham after narrowly escaping death in Jersey”
The King
“Wonderful performances between Robert and Timothy. This movie to me was the beginning of the rise of two great actors that would become very prominent in the following years.”
One Piece - Dressrosa
“Pacing aside, One Piece has some of the greatest world building in modern history along with a very lovable cast (not you Usopp) . I can understand if this anime is not for you, but I think this anime stands on the top of pop culture above all other anime for a reason.”
HIM
“Movie that tries to be edgy and artsy but falls flat on its face”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
“Second best needle drop in the trilogy”
Bugonia
“Trippy movie that gave me so much whiplash but the good kind of whiplash from a roller coaster. Lots of fun”
Mickey 17
“Slept on gem that was for the arts and not the charts”
TRON: Ares
“I hate Jared Leto”
Napoleon Dynamite
Spoiler “ Contains spoilers — tap to reveal”
Elf
“Eh...funny...but a little over loved.”
Old School
“The ushers didn't care that I was 16 when this came out. My friends and I saw this and had a blast.”
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
“Funny, the first time.”
Superbad
“Oddly heartfelt. I remember sitting in the theater, watching this, and immediately knowing that this movie was a little deeper than it had any right to be.”
Casino Royale
“What if Daniel Craig and Mads Mikkelsen just kissed ?”
Black Dynamite
“Who the hell has interrupted my Kung Fu?”
Airplane!
“It took me years to find out that this movie was spoofing a genre that really doesn't exist anymore. The pot boiler thriller was al the rage in the 1970s and early 80s. Each one was filled with actors a decade or two past their prime and stunt casting athletes or other people not normally in films. Airplane did an amazing job at making fun of all of that.”
Black Dynamite
“Hands down one of the funniest films I have ever seen. It is smart, clever and hilarious.”
Review of O.J.: Made in America
The ESPN 30 for 30 documentary series has been one of the best things ESPN has produced in the past 25 years. Started in 2009 as a way to commemorate ESPN's 30th anniversary, the network commissioned...
Hush
“begrudgingly adds to the "good for her" list despite me judging every decision she made”
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
“Fun sequel idea. At least they didn't do more of the same. Its a simple inverse. Look this is a movie made to watch with kids and keep them entertained for 90 minutes. The special effects were decent. Wayne and Diane Szalinski need to be in jail though.”
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
“Fun but there is a reason it skipped theaters and went straight to home video. Wayne Szalinski has got to get his shit together.”
