Wow, for the first, I dunno, 50-60 minutes this film just makes you feel super awkward and uncomfortable! Lucky McKee sure captured “socially awkward” to an uncomfortable degree. Angela Bettis perfectly plays the titular character. I couldn’t get over how her hand performed throughout the film, as a person with severe anxiety, I can attest to the extreme degree of bending back her fingers are … Continue reading May (2002) (Dir. Lucky McKee) Review

It’s always a bit unpleasant calling out the worst anything of the year. For starters, there are people behind these projects that presumably put their heart and soul into them and, I’m sure, produced the best final product they were capable of. For another point, there are undoubtedly folks out there who enjoy some, if not all, of the movies I am about to start … Continue reading “Top” Ten Worst Movies Of 2025
Nicholas Cage movies are basically their own genre at this point. The chameleon-like actor continues taking weirder and weirder roles, as he fills his resume up with the kinds of projects he clearly has a passion for instead of the kind that have mass appeal. There is something to be said for a man with that kind of attitude towards his career. In his most … Continue reading The Surfer Review
I recently dog-sat for the uncle and aunt while they went to Tahiti for three-plus weeks. It turns out, I’m not much of a dog person. I sure like dogs! Other people’s dogs. As for having one? Well the need to walk them and take them outside is a bit much for me because I am lazy. And they bark. And they are generally big … Continue reading Good Boy Review

I love when you can watch a new movie and directly trace its influences back to other films that you have always loved. But more on that in the Ups and Downs segment of this review for reasons I will get into soon… Coming out on 9/23/2025 to Screambox, we have the new horror flick The Draft!–and yes, the exclamation point is part of the … Continue reading The Draft! Review
After my defense of Phase Four, we still find ourselves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Post-Endgame world. And this will be my last Ranking The Franchise for the MCU for quite some time; Phase Six’s culmination is nowhere in sight in the near future yet! So enjoy this article while it lasts. After two straight [at least somewhat] extended phases, the MCU returned here to … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Five
Musician Sean Faust joins The Order this episode to discuss the original Crow movie. How does it hold up in 2025? For more from Sean, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 158: The Crow (1994)
Well, here it is: the dreaded “Post-Endgame” Marvel Cinematic Universe that we all hear so much about. With the, admittedly exemplary, third phase of the MCU in our rearview mirror, it’s time to look at just how the cinematic juggernaut shook out in its wake. And let’s be very real about two things here before we start: First, Phase Three, as we examined, was top-to-bottom … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Four
Is the 1980’s the best decade for cinema? I’m not saying it is, or that I agree with the sentiment. But I know a lot of folks that would support the notion. It’s a decade full of beloved classics and tons of nostalgic gems. And I’m not going to lie; there’s a lot of comfort food there for me as someone who was born in … Continue reading The Breakfast Club Review

She and her mother start off at home–where her mom makes Ana guzzle down … Continue reading A Mother’s Embrace Review
After reviewing the first two phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you almost get the feeling someone behind the scenes messed up when it came to Phase Three. Phase One and Phase Two, as you may recall from my recent reviews of them, were each six movies long. So when we dive into Phase Three, we find out that it is… almost twice as big?! … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Three
One hundred and fifty-seven episodes into the podcast before we finally covered Iron Man, the progenitor of the MCU? That’s wild! But tune in as Tommy from the Haven’t Scene It podcast joins the Order to see how good it was when the MCU kicked off. For more from Haven’t Scene It, click HERE. Continue reading Episode 157: Iron Man
Every so often, you find a movie that doesn’t quite belong on the streaming service on which you find it. To that end, my wife and I just watched the 1999 film Jawbreaker… on Shudder. The same Shudder that specializes in horror offerings. And it was showing the black comedy film Jawbreaker. It didn’t make loads of sense, but that’s where we found it. Every … Continue reading Above The Knee Review
