I heard some other theater patrons talking about The Fall Guy as they left the auditorium, and they were comparing notes on how well the movie followed the TV show vis a vis how well 21 Jump Street did the same. I’m going to go ahead and be honest: that was the first time it even occurred to me that this movie was based on … Continue reading The Fall Guy Review
Marvel’s dissection of the still-living body of Dark Horse Comics continues. Years after having acquired the comic publishing rights to Star Wars—a previous boon for the independent company—Marvel has recently purchased the licenses for the Alien and Predator lines. Why does Marvel need or want those? It’s not like Dark Horse is such a threat to them that they have to chip away at this … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Black Hammer
Drawing comparisons to Paranormal Activity and Skinamarink, Life of Belle haunts SCREAMBOX on May 17. The found footage film attempts to piece together the mysterious disappearance of a young girl. I’ll take sleight issue with that summary from Screambox, as aside from the fact that there are children involved, Life Of Belle is nothing like Skinamarink. Oh, there’s a lot of Paranormal Activity here to … Continue reading Life Of Belle Review
And we are back! When last we discussed A24, I mentioned I had finally gotten up to twenty-four films from the studio that I have seen. Seeing as how that is apparently their favorite number, I decided to rank all of them. Last time, we covered #24-#13. We are back this time to get through the rest, so let’s do that now! 12. The Whale … Continue reading Stew Ranks His First Twenty-Four A24 Movies! #12-1
Something something Snyder Cut. Yeah, so the long-awaited Zack Snyder cut of Justice League is due to be released somewhat soon/eventually on HBO’s new streaming service. A lot of folks have been petitioning for this for quite some time, and I guess they are finally going to get it. I’m not one of them. I’m not opposed to the release, and if it makes people … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: JLA by Grant Morrison

Fittingly, I have now seen 24 movies from the A24 film studio. It feels like I have to have seen more than that. A24 has been one of the biggest studios of the last several years. It seems as though every other movie that comes out nowadays is released by the near-ubiquitous production company. And yet, I’ve somehow only seen twenty-four of them. Weird. At … Continue reading Stew Ranks His First Twenty-Four A24 Movies! #24-13
It’s always a pleasant surprise when you see a big-time, successful actor as the star of a new independent film and–after worrying that they may just be in a it for a few minutes to get the paycheck–they end up the actual star of the show. Such is the case with the new flick, Cash Out, starring John Travolta. I was concerned we wouldn’t actually … Continue reading Cash Out Review
I am continuing on, counting down my favorite video games of all time. Last time, I listed off my favorite games of the 20th Century. This time, we’re going ahead with my ten favorites of the current century! Let’s get right into the list here… 10. WWE 2K22-2K24 As this stands, this is a three generation span of the WWE 2K series, and that’s for … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of This Century
I spent Saturday filling in some holes in my Jubilee collection. I got the first two trades of New Warriors (volume 4) from her time as Wondra. I always knew that existed, but just never sought it out for whatever reason. I wasn’t sure how big of a role she has in it, but she is arguably the main character. I also picked up volumes two and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Jubilee
Mostly when I’m supposed to be doing work, but I’m NOT doing work, it’s because I am video gaming. I do try to turn my gaming into “work” (or, at least, into content) by streaming the occasional game and then posting the stream over to the SWO Productions YouTube channel. But I’m a lot better at just playing games than I am at any kind … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of The Previous Century
Brad from the Old Man Brad podcast stops back by The Order this episode for some childlike wonder and nostalgia as he and Stew discuss 1991’s The Rocketeer! For more from Old Man Brad, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 110: The Rocketeer
DIRECTED & PRODUCED BY STEPHEN MOYER STARRING & PRODUCED BY ACADEMY-AWARD WINNER ANNA PAQUIN & BAFTA-AWARD NOMINEE RAY WINSTONE SCREENPLAY BY REBECCA CALLARD, based on her Bruntwood Prize-nominated play of the same name. A Bit Of Light is a heartfelt yet wryly comic drama about addiction, responsibility, self-acceptance and the value of kindness. Okay, stories about addiction really get to me, man. I say this … Continue reading A Bit Of Light Review
What is it with men and basements? There’s always the cliche about loser online trolls living in their parents’ basements, sure, but even adult men seem to have a fascination with basements. Whether they get turned into a “man cave” (and I really hate that term) or a work bench area or a gym or what, it just seems like men are inherently drawn to … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.
I simultaneously hate and also love when I am wrong about a movie. We have all been there. We’ve gone into a new flick with either expectations sky high or deeply buried. And we walk out realizing everything we thought we were going to get was wrong. On the one hand, it can be a great feeling to know your entire anticipatory cart was just … Continue reading Civil War Review
