As of the start of this list–December 22nd 2025, whereupon I figured I was done watching new movies for the rest of the year–I have bested my record for most new release films watched in one year. According to my Letterboxd, I’ve seen 117 pictures that came out in the past twelve months. That tops the previous high of 113 from 2023 and last year’s … Continue reading Top 30 Movies Of 2025: #30-21
Chapter 22 “H-how?” “How did you get yourself arrested? Boy, that’s not a good question for me, Sammy. But by the looks of you, it came with a spicy dash of police brutality.” Sam sat stunned in his silence at the sight of Tommy through the prison booth window. It simply could not be. Sam blinked hard; it had to be the concussion playing tricks … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 22

It’s always a bit unpleasant calling out the worst anything of the year. For starters, there are people behind these projects that presumably put their heart and soul into them and, I’m sure, produced the best final product they were capable of. For another point, there are undoubtedly folks out there who enjoy some, if not all, of the movies I am about to start … Continue reading “Top” Ten Worst Movies Of 2025
Nicholas Cage movies are basically their own genre at this point. The chameleon-like actor continues taking weirder and weirder roles, as he fills his resume up with the kinds of projects he clearly has a passion for instead of the kind that have mass appeal. There is something to be said for a man with that kind of attitude towards his career. In his most … Continue reading The Surfer Review
Chapter 21 It had been four days since the incident in Veilstone City. Sam had not heard from Barry at any point in those four days, and no one would answer his questions about where his partner was. Inside the Solaceon Prison, the nearest prison to Veilstone that wasn’t a crumbling mess with a downed wall, Sam had little contact with the outside world. Sam … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 21
I shake my head slow. This isn’t going to go over well. I might not have wanted all these people here, but I took responsibility for them when they showed up. At first, it was as easy as thinking that my basement was finished, warm, and large. We had a lot of furniture, carpeting, and a little kitchenette area. The door to the upstairs was … Continue reading The Basement (part 2): A Short Story
Pop-Tarts is back on the Girl Scouts track this week, as we review Frosted Coconut Caramel! I am not sure that these are a Girl Scouts cookie that I have ever indulged in, but I’ve always been a pretty strictly Thin Mints kind of guy. That said, aren’t Tagalongs a Girl Scouts cookie? With the peanut butter on the inside? Pop-Tarts could totally have made … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Coconut Caramel
I recently dog-sat for the uncle and aunt while they went to Tahiti for three-plus weeks. It turns out, I’m not much of a dog person. I sure like dogs! Other people’s dogs. As for having one? Well the need to walk them and take them outside is a bit much for me because I am lazy. And they bark. And they are generally big … Continue reading Good Boy Review

I want to say that waking up every morning with an erection and never being able to do anything about it is the worst part, but… that’s fucking stupid. I guess when I think about it, every part is the worst part. When I open my eyes and everything is pitch black, that’s the worst part, too. When I’m not sure if I can get … Continue reading The Basement (Part 1): A Short Story
I love when you can watch a new movie and directly trace its influences back to other films that you have always loved. But more on that in the Ups and Downs segment of this review for reasons I will get into soon… Coming out on 9/23/2025 to Screambox, we have the new horror flick The Draft!–and yes, the exclamation point is part of the … Continue reading The Draft! Review
After my defense of Phase Four, we still find ourselves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Post-Endgame world. And this will be my last Ranking The Franchise for the MCU for quite some time; Phase Six’s culmination is nowhere in sight in the near future yet! So enjoy this article while it lasts. After two straight [at least somewhat] extended phases, the MCU returned here to … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Five
Chapter 20 Most people, when confronted with a sound they could only recognize as explosions, run as far away as possible. Explosions imply destruction, damage, injury, and death; to the layperson, those are four things that are to be avoided at all costs. A person with a semblance of sanity and reason would hear explosions from over a dozen miles away and do everything in … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 20
