The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #20-11

As a quick catch-up: I watched 113 movies that came out in 2023, and I’m counting down my Top 50, all of which fall into my “Definite Recommends” category. We’ve done #50-41 (click HERE for that), #40-31 (click HERE), and #30-21 (HERE). So we are into the teens! That’s not what I want to talk about, though. In 2022, I set a goal for myself … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #20-11

FU-SION-HA! A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E21-22

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! EPISODE 21 For some reason, this episode starts off with Buffy searching the wreckage of SunnyDale High for Riley, but that’s just a momentary scene. But seriously… why would he be there? “Oh, my best friend died; better go to this bombed out high school that means nothing to me”. Think harder, Buffy. Anyway, we then cut to Adam … Continue reading FU-SION-HA! A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E21-22

Blow: A Young Justice Retrospective, S2 E3-4

For more Young Justice Retrospectives, click HERE! EPISODE 3 Bumblebee and Blue Beetle show up in Metropolis to Bibbo’s Diner! Hey, it’s Bibbo! Is he still in Superman books? I haven’t thought of Bibbo in ages, man. He was a mainstay around the Death Of Superman era in the 90’s! What has he been up to? Does he still have his dog named Krypto? Anyway, … Continue reading Blow: A Young Justice Retrospective, S2 E3-4

The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #30-21

Okay, we are through #50-31, and it’s time to keep going with this countdown! It’s the middle of the list, and it’s here that we move out of “Very Good” (my 3.25 – 3.5 star territory) and into the start of the “Great” (3.75 – 4.00 star) 2023 movies. I’ll let you know which movie signifies that change, don’t worry. And if you’ve missed the … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #30-21

The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #40-31

It’s round two! As I continue to countdown the Top 50 (out of 112) movies that came out in 2023–that is, every movie I would say I recommend fairly strongly–we are out of the 40’s and into the 30’s. Let’s get right into it! (Unless you want to relive where this list started with #50-41, then click HERE) 40. Missing Missing is the quasi-sequel, half-follow-up … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #40-31

The College Season Not About College: A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E19-20

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Episode 19 Willow and Tara start us off as they talk together about various goings-on, including their sudden desire to get a cat together. Which I am all for, unless it dies. This show could use a cat to spiffy it up. Again, unless it dies. Then I will be ever so unbelievably cross. They make it to the Scooby … Continue reading The College Season Not About College: A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E19-20

SantaStein Review

SCREAMBOX Exclusive Santastein comes alive on December 19. The festive twist on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein delivers Christmas cheer and slasher fear in equal measure. You know a trope I have always hated because it makes zero sense? The Christmas movie where all of the parents and adults think Santa does not exist, but it turns out he does. You have every adult in the world … Continue reading SantaStein Review

Everything Is Different Now! A Young Justice Retrospective, S2 E1-2

For more Young Justice Retrospectives, click HERE! EPISODE 1 Oh man, as season two starts there are SO MANY CHANGES! We see the team taking down Clayface in the sewer, but this iteration of the team is Superboy, Miss Martian (that’s okay so far and expected), a new Robin (whoa!), Jaime Reyes’ Blue Beetle, Bumblebee, and Beast Boy. WHERE DID YOU ALL COME FROM?! Maybe … Continue reading Everything Is Different Now! A Young Justice Retrospective, S2 E1-2

Silent Night Review

Merry Christmas, everyone! Let’s talk about a murdered child and how it leads to a blood-soaked rampage. Seventy-seven year old John Woo is back in American theaters! It feels like it’s been forever since I have thought of the master of doves, but he presents the new Christmas-themed action movie, Silent Night. It’s his first movie in over 6 years, with his last being 2017’s … Continue reading Silent Night Review
