Fittingly, I have now seen 24 movies from the A24 film studio. It feels like I have to have seen more than that. A24 has been one of the biggest studios of the last several years. It seems as though every other movie that comes out nowadays is released by the near-ubiquitous production company. And yet, I’ve somehow only seen twenty-four of them. Weird. At … Continue reading Stew Ranks His First Twenty-Four A24 Movies! #24-13
It’s always a pleasant surprise when you see a big-time, successful actor as the star of a new independent film and–after worrying that they may just be in a it for a few minutes to get the paycheck–they end up the actual star of the show. Such is the case with the new flick, Cash Out, starring John Travolta. I was concerned we wouldn’t actually … Continue reading Cash Out Review
Bastard Son of Nelson Creed part 1 In 1979, an unconscious man wearing a diving suit was discovered inside the bed of a wrecked truck in the woods. Nelson Creed sat at the bar with his far-too-young pregnant wife Mary seated next to him who, as usual, said nothing while her eyes avoided any sort of contact. Nelson drank his beer and smoked his cigarette … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #22
I am continuing on, counting down my favorite video games of all time. Last time, I listed off my favorite games of the 20th Century. This time, we’re going ahead with my ten favorites of the current century! Let’s get right into the list here… 10. WWE 2K22-2K24 As this stands, this is a three generation span of the WWE 2K series, and that’s for … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of This Century
I spent Saturday filling in some holes in my Jubilee collection. I got the first two trades of New Warriors (volume 4) from her time as Wondra. I always knew that existed, but just never sought it out for whatever reason. I wasn’t sure how big of a role she has in it, but she is arguably the main character. I also picked up volumes two and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Jubilee
Mostly when I’m supposed to be doing work, but I’m NOT doing work, it’s because I am video gaming. I do try to turn my gaming into “work” (or, at least, into content) by streaming the occasional game and then posting the stream over to the SWO Productions YouTube channel. But I’m a lot better at just playing games than I am at any kind … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of The Previous Century

This Time, We Have a Plan Shujai and Intrepid landed at the hillside where Hyperion’s Light was alighted after having been brought online. On the ground, Ryan Bennings was running diagnostics on the ship with a set of holographic screens floating in front of him while the rest of the team waited nearby. “Good news first,” he told Intrepid and Shujai as they approached, never … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #5
DIRECTED & PRODUCED BY STEPHEN MOYER STARRING & PRODUCED BY ACADEMY-AWARD WINNER ANNA PAQUIN & BAFTA-AWARD NOMINEE RAY WINSTONE SCREENPLAY BY REBECCA CALLARD, based on her Bruntwood Prize-nominated play of the same name. A Bit Of Light is a heartfelt yet wryly comic drama about addiction, responsibility, self-acceptance and the value of kindness. Okay, stories about addiction really get to me, man. I say this … Continue reading A Bit Of Light Review
What is it with men and basements? There’s always the cliche about loser online trolls living in their parents’ basements, sure, but even adult men seem to have a fascination with basements. Whether they get turned into a “man cave” (and I really hate that term) or a work bench area or a gym or what, it just seems like men are inherently drawn to … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.
I simultaneously hate and also love when I am wrong about a movie. We have all been there. We’ve gone into a new flick with either expectations sky high or deeply buried. And we walk out realizing everything we thought we were going to get was wrong. On the one hand, it can be a great feeling to know your entire anticipatory cart was just … Continue reading Civil War Review
What Is Buried Must Remain haunts SCREAMBOX on April 12. A modern ghost story with ancient roots, the timely Lebanese found footage hybrid finds young filmmakers confronted by supernatural forces engaged in a war for the very soul of the land. I appreciate a good found footage movie, and I’m a pretty easy mark for one. I don’t know exactly why that is. To be … Continue reading What Is Buried Must Remain Review
Lock-Out Shujai’s arms were outstretched as emerald beams of bio-energy exploded from his palms, deflecting off the field of energy surrounding the ship. Once he exhausted himself, he stopped and took a breath. Hyperion’s Light had no scratch. “I can’t get through the forcefield,” Shujai explained, “This ship was well crafted.” “I should know,” Ryan boasted, “I’ve done maintenance on it over the years.” “Now … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commision #4
