“I wonder if this is how League of Legends players feel. One of my most hate-played games. A great time if you are a sadomasochist.”
Before Your Eyes

“I'm not crying, I just haven't blinked in an hour and a half.”
Matchstick Men
Ridley Scott
“dont watch if you have daddy issues... or do.... if ur into that type of thing”
Matchstick Men
Ridley Scott
“One of Ridley Scott's most underrated movies. Not particularly flashy or grandiose, but compelling nonetheless. Clever cinematography supporting a clever script. Unironically one of Cage's best performances.”
Are you just Spider-Man biased or is this actually a good movie? I'm both
Spider-Man: Brand New Day · Destin Daniel Cretton
Putting this review together has been hard. Which seems like a weird thing to say considering I am giving it an A+, but I really wanted to full understand this movie and not just stand on recency bias...
The Will of the Many
James Islington
“overall enjoyable. look forward to the sequal.”
Pride & Prejudice & Potions: Lizzy's Story
“fun, relaxing read before bed. nothing gained or lost.”
The Strawberry Patch Pancake House
Laurie Gilmore
“Surprise pregnacies are dumb in a smut book. booooooo.......”
New Moon
Stephenie Meyer
“Did I enjoy this as a teen? Or was I just angsty with no taste?”
Murder by Cheesecake
Rachel Ekstrom Courage
“If you loved watching the Golden Girls, now you can read a full episode! Loved every chapter.”
Super Overrated But Still Good
The Dark Knight · Christopher Nolan
I want to start by saying I genuinely think this movie is good and very enjoyable, but only if you have the ability to look past the fact that it's one of the worst adaptations of the character. As ag...
petal
Ariana Grande
“A self-aggrandizing project made by a delusionally terrible person as far as anyone can tell. Despite this, Petal is some of Grande's best work. The production is noticeably more bass-laden than recent outings, adding richness to her usual vocal layering. The laid-back arrangements are varied while still pulling together into one of her most cohesive albums. "Bad Thing" sucks, though.”
Review of The Wilderness
Explosions in the Sky
One of the things I like most about Explosions in the Sky is their ability to change without losing who they are. Each album fits nicely into the band's oeuvre, charting the course of a musical group...
The Illusionist
Neil Burger
“Ladies, if he wanted to… he would.”
Cronos: The New Dawn
Bloober Team
“This game is like dead space and silent hill had a baby and I mean that in the best possible way. Horror game fans, please give this slept on gem a try”
Review of Heat
Michael Mann
Every once in a while, a movie seems perfectly made just for you. All of the things you can't get enough of, all of the things that hit that perfect spot. Other times, movies are simply made well. Not...
Review of Léon: The Professional
Luc Besson
Directed by Luc Besson, Léon: The Professional is the story of a deadly and highly efficient hitman played by Jean Reno. Léon lives a quiet, solitary life, taking contracts to eliminate targets within...
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Steven Spielberg
“My dad told me he tried to get me to watch this when I was 3. He sat me down and started the movie. I had a decent attention span for most movies and would watch and ask questions. Apparently it took all of 30 minutes for me to stand up and walk out of the room. I had better things to do. I can appreciate what it is for most people but I can only muster cold apathy for Elliot, Gertie and ET.”
Joker
Todd Phillips
“I really disliked this movie. It was immature and played at depth but with a middle schooler's understanding or tragedy. A shallow film and favorite of the woebegone, the quietly seething and the callow. Let me be clear: the tenuous connections to the DC universe or their characters is not what I dislike. The framing of tragedy and mental illness is what gets me. So glad I bootlegged this movie.”
Slay the Spire II
Mega Crit Games
“140 hours in and the spires are still there. Perfect for game night with all of your autistic friends.”
Twilight
Catherine Hardwicke
“It's TWILIGHT. If you rate it any lower than an A, you are too cool to have fun.”
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Steven Spielberg
“I think my grandmother said it best: "Me and Harrison Ford are about the same age. Why would I want to watch him shuffle around a movie set?" I swear is she generally much nicer than that. Shes right though. This movie was cheeks.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
Stuart Gillard
“I knew this was bad when I was a child. I was upset they recast April O'Neil and it wasn't set in New York. They even changed the effects company that made the turtle suits which was a huge downgrade. Huge bummer of a film.”
The Last Airbender
M. Night Shyamalan
“The show Avatar: The Last Airbender arrived on the scene when I was must too old to enjoy it. So I wasn't invested in the property before seeing this film. What I can say is that this movie was hot garbage. Despite the talented cast this movie is poorly shot, poorly acted and edited. Like...wow. It even had the gall to set up its own sequel. The audacity.”
