Lets start at the beginning
Babylon 5: In the Beginning
As a child, I was subject to the whims of a loving mother who believed I was spending too much time sitting in front of the television watching strange shows full of people in heavy makeup, standing o...
I didn't know how much I missed you
X-Men '97 - Season 1
X-Men The Animated Series premiered when I was 7 years old. That show was foundational to my interest to comics books and is among the very best comics-to-animated series adaptations, second to Batman...
The Sixth Sense
“Lightning in a bottle. Still holds up as a tight, focused thriller. Spoiled and memed to hell and back, but still a classic. It's unfortunate that Shyamalan had to chase this dragon the rest of his career.”
Remember Me
“Great movie to watch with friends who have absolutely no idea how it ends. Would recommend this to anyone.”
Avatar: The Last Airbender - Season 2
“The mishandling of Lu Ten's memorial rather neatly exemplifies the problem with the entire business of this adaptation: The work of so many talented artists accompanied by sunset and song, now songless and hidden by the black veil of night. The Iroh we recall: Grief-stricken but determinedly hopeful. The Iroh we see now: Broken, ruined, hopeless, and worthy of reproach. So much for the rest of it.”
Vinland Saga - Season 2
“Thorfinn Karlsefni is truly one of the greatest written protagonist in fiction.”
Counter-Strike: Source
“I have over 1,100 hours logged in this game, and I stopped playing it 15 years ago. Imagine if I learned something useful with all of that time instead. Instead, I decided to master Gun Game and Jailbreak.”
Avatar: The Last Airbender - Season 1
“Plodding, kitschy; a caricature that manages none of the quality or levity of the original. As with most so-called adaptations of this sort, one struggles even to recognize familiar characters. Where has the cast gone, and who are these mannequins stuffed in their habits? Really, the studios who make this trash ought to pay viewers to watch it. It's an eye-glazing affair...”
Eve Online
“Perhaps the greatest second job simulator to ever exist. Nothing is intuitive, everything is trying to kill you, and all of your work can be vaporized forever in an instance. I kicked this game like a drug habit a long time ago, thankfully, but like a true addict I still think about it sometimes. Luckily there are still people out there ruining each other's lives so I can read about it on IGN.”
Guild Wars
“One of the all-time great MMORPGs. I am so glad there was no way to log the number of hours I played this game. Years of my childhood are sunk into this. The multi-class skill system was revolutionary, and the PVP experience was unmatched. All of this bolstered by the fact that a broke teenager could buy it once and play it forever.”
Review of Red Dead Redemption 2
Take a gamble that love exists and do a loving act. I can't understand how anyone can replay this game so quickly as my first playthrough alone is taking well over 200 hours. What Rockstar has done he...
Innerspace
“Innerspace is a sci-fi comedy about a devil-may-care test pilot, Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid) ,shrunken smaller than a blood cell. After an attack on the lab where he was shrunk a scientist injected into the butt of Jack Putter (Martain Short). What happens next is classic 1980s hi-jinks with a sprinkling of pretty good practical effects. This of this as a lessor version of Ghostbusters.”
Kevin Can F**K Himself - Season 2
“What a waste of such an interesting premise and setting. A second season with no payoff, no meaningful progression, ending in a cadre of unredeemed, unlikeable characters. What could have been a fun twist on a format ended up being as meandering and meaningless as the thing it was aiming to subvert.”
Interstellar
“An irritating, and at-times preachy lump of a film that's nowhere near as smart as it would like to be. Ah, yes. If only someone told those physicists who simulated the black hole (did you know, did you?)—Across the event horizon, not to worry. Toss the silver! Worked for Aubrey and Maturin, worked for Napoleon. Incomplete, of course, without a hackneyed bootleg Kubrick sequence. What a bore.”
Iron Lung
“I checked my phone after watching this and my Oura ring asked me if I napped for an hour and 15 minutes. I did really enjoy the blood stuff and the soundtrack.”
Iron Lung
“Despite inventive camerawork, fantastic visuals, and a noteworthy score, there's only so much time one can be expected to sit listening to breathless, disembodied voices bark gruff, grave nonsense at each other and stammer, before something else ought to happen. And yet... Agonizingly slow, and with relatively little payoff. Forty minutes or so of this probably should have been cut.”
The Animatrix
“Self indulgent, gratuitous and a little more than self important this is a strange artifact best forgotten. So much nightmare fuel the violence just gets boring. It is animated well though.”
The Secret History
“Performative read. Fanfic about Donna's own dream life.....to be surrounded by such intellectual boy toys, oh dear.”
DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story - Miniseries
“Evan Peters, cannibalism, I give it an A”
Marcy Playground
Marcy Playground
“most iconic self-titled of the 90s, I will die on this hill”
Violet Evergarden - Season 1
“so annoying, it's basically an anime about a pick-me autist who happens to be attractive and good at a few things (vaguely?) and that's about it.”
10 Things I Hate About You
“profound”
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
“More brutal. Better weapons More enemies.More over the top fun. One weapon, the Cerebral Bore, is a small projectile that will follow an enemy around corners and off cliffs, attach to the victim's skull, suction their brains out and explode.”
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
“Brutal. Fun. Over the top. This is a classic late 90s FPS that seemed to come out of nowhere. Lots of fun.”
