Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase One

I’m back on my franchise ranking horse! I do love taking a look back at an entire movie franchise I have watched every entry of and deciding how it goes from best to worst. It’s a great conversational piece, too, for the comments section. How would YOU rank them, et cetera, et cetera. One of the franchises I’ve had a strong desire to do for … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase One

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Sam was determined to make the trip back to Canalave City as miserable as he could for Carlos. It was not even a small percentage of payback for what Carlos had cost him, but it was the only way Sam could stop himself from putting his own fist through the windshield in frustration. “First of all, I have no idea why you went … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 16

Ranking The Franchise: Final Destination

It’s rare, but every so often, I get a bug in me to watch the entirety of a franchise I’d never seen before. Last year, it was Mission: Impossible. This year I decided to watch the entire Final Destination series. I blame Amazon Prime, through which we have our HBO Max subscription. I was fishing around for something to watch, and Prime kept throwing FD … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Final Destination

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 15

And he had been sitting next to Sam for several hours as they navigated the mountainous route 210. The route was unpleasant enough by itself–much of the road crawled around the exterior of Mount Coronet and was protected with guardrails that looked … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 15

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Sam rubbed the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and thumb. Apparently, it was nearly impossible to call the offices of a worldwide corporation and just speak directly to the President. Receptionists were hesitant to put a call through to his phone, if they even had that ability at all. It was fast becoming Sam’s experience that they would be more than … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 14

The Great Dictator Review

Are there movies for which you have seen most of the noteworthy scenes just due to their ubiquitousness in pop culture, and so you have decided to put off ever watching the whole picture? I remember finally watching John Carpenter’s The Thing a few years ago, and a movie that should have been an absolute banger for me got downgraded slightly (calm down! I still … Continue reading The Great Dictator Review
