Reedland Review

Bust out your fanciest formalwear because today’s movie review is a Dutch offering that was in consideration for Best International Feature for the 2026 Academy Awards! Unfortunately, Reedland was not chosen as a finalist for that category at the 98th edition of the Oscars, but just to be in the picture and chosen as your country’s offering is great recognition. So let’s talk about a … Continue reading Reedland Review

Misfits (2025) Review

It’s time for another review of a screener movie I was sent! Today’s film comes to us from the writer/director Kris McMenamin, and it is called Misfits. It’s your run-of-the-mill Christmas/Wrestling/Family Drama/Coming Of Age story about a group of lifelong friends who lose each other in their early 20’s / late teens, but end up all coming back together when one of them needs them … Continue reading Misfits (2025) Review

Full Metal Jacket Review

I’ve recently watched Full Metal Jacket for the first time, and I’m really struggling trying not to tell people I watched Full Metal Alchemist.

Sometimes much more if you enjoy something like … Continue reading Train Dreams Review

No, he was cursing the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 26

Thirteen The Fridayth: 2020’s Horror

I’m bad at acknowledging the 1960’s–much less anything before the 1960’s!–ever happened. Which, honestly, is pretty generous of me! I was born in 1980, so I don’t even have any tangible proof that the 1970’s happened either, but I’ve decided to allow them into my thinking. I used to be relatively anti-The-1970’s, but I have since realized the 1960’s is where I actually hold most … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: 2020’s Horror
