Created by Nicolas Winding Refn and Ed Brubaker Starring Miles Teller, Augusto Aguilera, Cristina Rodlo, Nell Tiger Free, Jena Malone, John Hawkes, Babs Olusanmokun, William Baldwin, and Callie Hernandez This mesmerizingly pessimistic expression of Nicolas Winding Refn’s avant-garde style gives me precisely what I desire when it comes to this sort of slow-burn and dreamlike storytelling. My god, I had this on my watchlist for … Continue reading Too Old to Die Young

Friends Make the Walk Worthwhile I’m a Stephen King Fan. Although I’m relatively new to his works, I’ve loved just about every one of his stories. And while, yes, they are known to be horrifying and dark, there is another aspect to his writing that encourages me to continually come back to his work: his humanity. Whether it be the innocence of children overcoming societal … Continue reading The Long Walk is Brutally Saddening, yet Humane
Directed by BenDavid Grabinski Written by BenDavid Grabinski Starring Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, Eiza González, Keith David, Jimmy Tatro, Stephen Root, Ben Schwartz, Arturo Castro, Emily Hampshire, and Lewis Tan With its dynamic action thrills, clever laughs, and likable stars, this lands as the sort of incredibly charming ride that I’d love to see more often. I remember hearing about this a few months ago … Continue reading My review of Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
First of all, my apologies go out to the Alien franchise. Back when I did a franchise ranking of that series, I lambasted the series as being a particularly bad one. I noted that it had two good movies and then a bunch of trash in their wake that I was reduced to trying to figure out an order for. Brother, I had no idea … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Scream
I love watching classic movies I’ve never seen before. I don’t always love the movies themselves–at least not as much as I’m “supposed” to–(though I often do), but I love taking the way back machine and checking out something I’d long-since missed. I get “You’ve never seen [beloved film]?!” somewhat often despite the fact that I’ve seen… just… so many movies. There are still so … Continue reading When Harry Met Sally Review
Performing to Reach Healing I’m a big softie at heart. Couple that with the fact that I love Romantic philosophy and magical realism, and the movie A Big Bold Beautiful Journey should be just the film for me. Its characters live in a world where the unexplainable happens, and they are barely phased. Their penchant for blocking themselves off from relationships is explored, and they learn to … Continue reading ‘A Big Bold Beautiful Journey’ is Too Sugary Sweet

Despite its good reviews and word of mouth, I had missed Bart Layton’s Crime 101 when it was in theaters earlier this year. It’s not alone; it was simultaneously at the cinema with Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, and I never made it out those few weeks to see that, either. My loss, I suppose, but at least it did not take long for … Continue reading Crime 101 Review
P.T. Anderson filmed Magnolia, my favorite movie of all time, so seeing One Battle After Another was a non-option for me. In short, this new film from one of the greatest directors of our time impresses in every way possible. It speaks to our current political climate by making clear just what kind of a road we may be on. On top of that, it nails entertainment in a … Continue reading ‘One Battle After Another’ Draws the Battle Lines Clearly
I have been watching a lot–A LOT–of Mystery Science Theater 3000 lately. There are multiple livestreams on YouTube that just air random episodes one after another, and it’s absolutely been my go-to down time activity for the last several weeks. Not that I am often overburdened with down time running my SWO Productions empire, but I occasionally have time where nothing needs written or recorded. … Continue reading The Top Ten Favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 Experiments
Every year, the same thing happens to me. I seek to watch a ton of new movies, but after the first couple of months of the year, I worry I’m way off the pace I need to be on. There are just aren’t a lot of worthwhile flicks released between January and March. So I end up having only seen a few movies those first … Continue reading They Will Kill You Review

It’s been quite a while since Tron: Legacy premiered in theatres (15 years, to be exact). It’s been even longer since the original Tron in 1982. To prepare for Tron: Ares, the third installment in this slow-going series, I read up on the Wikipedia synopses of the first two films. I thought that I would need a refresher on what came before. Turns out, all I really needed to know was … Continue reading ‘Tron: Ares’ is a Solid Action Sci-Fi, Despite Shallow Characters
