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
I don’t watch enough short movies. I helped MAKE a short movie once. It… wasn’t very good. But I was proud of it at the time. And, most importantly, it further taught me how absolutely difficult it can be to produce a film of any length or quality. I had made a few other films for classes in high school, and those were even worse … Continue reading The Littles Review

I just recently watched the Kurt Russell vehicle Miracle. That’s… that’s not what this article is about. But it actually takes place at Lake Placid, New York, which is more than I can say for the movie we ARE actually reviewing today. Funny thing: you could actually switch the names of the two movies–call the ice hockey one “Lake Placid” and call the crocodile one … Continue reading Lake Placid Review
I recently had the good fortune to be invited to New York Comic Con as press, so I packed up and headed to New York (actually New Jersey because riding the ferry rules) for a long weekend away. I met up with the incomparable Joey DiCarlo and Aubrey Litchfield from So Wizard Podcast, we set about interviewing as many amazing talents as we could for … Continue reading New York Comic Con Coverage, Part 1

Uncontained infects SCREAMBOX exclusively on March 11. A mysterious drifter struggles to protect abandoned children from an infection that turns people into a feral-like state. It’s been over twenty years since the zombie film experienced its revival in the early 2000’s with outings like 28 Days Later, Dawn Of The Dead, and Shaun Of The Dead. Leading up to the massive success of those entries, … Continue reading Uncontained Review
Man, seeing RRR a couple of years ago really opened up a whole new world of cinema for me. Ever since then, I occasionally switch on the ol’ Netflix and just search for “Bollywood” or “India” and see what turns up and looks good. It’s how I’ve found other movies I have reviewed like Salaar and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. And without having heard the … Continue reading Detective Ujjwalan Review

I recently went on a binge–though an unplanned and unexpected one–where I watched a trio of sequels to classic movies from the 1980’s in the span of less than a month. And while this review in particular is going to be primarily about the most recent one I watched (Lethal Weapon 2), I’m going to be touching on all three in bits since it was … Continue reading Lethal Weapon 2 Review (And The 80’s Sequels Edition!)
It actually just dawned on me the reason John Cena and Idris Elba have such good chemistry in this new straight-to-Amazon-Prime offering is that they have worked in tandem before in the amazing The Suicide Squad. This isn’t their first outing together! No wonder! Heads Of State sees the duo team up yet again, with Cena playing a movie star turned President Of The United … Continue reading Heads Of State Review
Writer and movie critic Jay Rohr joins The Order this episode to discuss the movie that was SO CLOSE to being called “New World Order”: Captain America Brave New World. Oh well. I guess that’s a good title, too. For more from Jay Rohr, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 150: Captain America – Brave New World
Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve actually done this list before. I’m not even going to link to it because it was years and years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I’ve watched and re-watched a lot more movies. And new movies have come out, affecting some franchises’ positioning on the list… for better or worse. Also, the previous list had one glaring omission… … Continue reading Top Ten Favorite Movie Franchises
With having now watched Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, I am now up to seven Hayao Miyazaki films in my mental catalogue. Which is to say: a fair amount, but not nearly enough! Nausicaa is a strange one. It technically pre-dates Studio Ghibli, but it is often shown at Ghibli based viewings and festivals. It’s the pre-cursor to the studio, and the film … Continue reading NausicaA Of The Valley Of The Wind Review
One of those things I guess I just don’t “get” as an adult is how often I am supposed to change my bed’s mattress. Society would lead me to believe it is more often than I think it is, because how else would you explain how there are mattress stores, like, EVERYWHERE. Given that I assume my bed’s mattress is going to last until I … Continue reading California King Review
