The Oscars recently happened, and once again, there were no Women nominated in the Best Director category, reversing a trend of… well, just two years. But in 2021 and 2022, there were women nominees! But none this year. But in the face of that and March being Women’s History Month, I thought I’d take a look back at cinematic history and give credit to some … Continue reading Movies Directed By Women
Here we are! It took most of the first month of January to get here, but I am finally at the top ten movies I watched for the first time in 2022. Having met my goal of 300 movies in 12 months (I actually hit it in 11) for SWO Productions, I am WAY off that pace for the first few weeks of 2023! I … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches Of 2022, #10-1
This is definitely my top ten movies of 2022. I say that because last time there was some consternation about one of my picks in my #20-11 range. Someone was displeased I included Werewolf By Night. It seems enough like a movie to me, but maybe not to others. So you could argue my last “ten” only had nine “movies”. So I put it up … Continue reading Top Thirty 2022 New Release Movies, #10-1
How do percents work again? What is ten out of fifty? Let’s see… that would be 20 out of 100. So 20%! Let’s get into the next twenty percents’ worth of my favorite movies I watched for the very first time ever in 2022! Since there are two lists left, that means we are in the… (twenty times two…) top fortieth percentile here! Fun with … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches of 2022, #20-11
We are back to running down the best 50 films I saw for the first time ever in 2022, and this is where things go from Very Good to Great, as we officially cross over from the 3.5 star movies to the 4 stars. Let’s see what they are! 30. Evil Dead Prior to 2022, I’d seen Army of Darkness innumerable times. I had seen … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches of 2022, #30-21
It’s part two of Stew’s look back at the 72 new release movies he saw in 2022. Look, I didn’t want to take up your whole life and rank all SEVENTY-TWO of them, but I did want to shout out the ones I can unquestionably recommend. So I decided to do this Top 30 list! We reviewed #30-21 last time. Now we are onto the … Continue reading Top Thirty New Release Movies Of 2022, #20-11
We are back to my covering the best 50 movies I watched for the first time ever in 2022, excluding actual 2022 new releases, which are coming out in their own top 30. Remember, I had seen 120+ movies in 2022 that were neither new releases nor movies I’d seen before, so these are all recommended watches! How many have you seen? As a reminder, … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches Of 2022, #40-31
Much was made from January through November of my quest to watch 300+ movies in the calendar year. As I write this, it’s December 23rd, and I’ve seen 317 individual movies across the year, easily smashing the target I set for myself, so much so that I could take December “off” more-or-less and focus on my writing and getting stuff scheduled and ready at SWO … Continue reading Top Thirty New Release Movies of 2022, #30-21

And we are back! For the last time! Wow, this took some work to get here, but let’s finish the list. Reminder: This is based on a list Wizard Magazine published in 2006 ranking their top 100 single issue comic stories of the previous 27 years or so (1979-2006). I’ve gone from 100 to 6 (you can see the list history [LISTORY!] by clicking the … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #5-1
And we are back! Let’s read some allegedly great comics! From Wizard’s 2006 list of the Top 100 Single Issues of all time! #10. Daredevil #191 In the wake of Bullseye murdering Elektra and being left paralyzed by Daredevil, ol’ Hornhead visits his enemy in the hospital… for a game of Russian Roulette. As he takes turns aiming and clicking the gun between them, Daredevil … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #10-6
And we are back! Let’s read some allegedly great comics! From Wizard’s 2006 list of the Top 100 Single Issues of all time! #15. Uncanny X-Men #159 My buddies over at The Multiverse Of Badness podcast covered this issue once for their show! Take a listen. I definitely seem to have dug this issue more than they did. Sorry guys! It’s the X-Men’s first (but … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #15-11
And we are back! Let’s read some allegedly great comics! #20. Planetary #13 I’ve read Planetary but one time, a few years ago, and all at once beginning to end. It works better that way, I think. As I made my way back through issue 13 here, I found myself wanting to revisit the story the series told in its completion. That said, Warren Ellis … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #20-16
I’m stealing ideas again! This one in particular comes from my buddies Paul and Wayne over at The Countdown Podcast where they were challenged to count down their top ten movies from four legendary directors: Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and James Cameron. By all means, give that show of theirs a listen and see how their lists came out! The thing is… this … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten – Battle Of Legendary Directors!
The truth is out there. And in comic books, you don’t even have to look that hard; there are aliens EVERYWHERE. Some are heroes. Some are villains. But there is absolutely no lack of interstellar life in Marvel, DC, or the independent comic book arena. So Fox Mulder would be like a pig in… wait, would he be? Or would the ubiquitous nature of extra … Continue reading Top Ten: Comic Alien Races
