When the Man Comes Around part 3 The street kids worked for him now and he taught them to be smarter about their business. Instead of pick-pocketing the locals, they went to the resorts and stole from wealthy tourists. Begging was also an option. Some of the kids knew card games and they were used to scam naive marks when needed. The kids were happy … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #49
You may remember last month when I wrote an article explaining how I had done a deep dive into books that, allegedly, featured my favorite comic book heroine, Jubilation Lee of the X-Men. Its ended up being a mixed bag of an affair. Some of the comics I bought featured her heavily, others barely utilized her at all. But hey: at least I got some … Continue reading So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books Again…
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
When the Man Comes Around part 2 After hiding the Dragon under a camouflaged tarp in the forest, Michael ventured into the city and checked into a hotel. The city in question was Venti Santos, the country’s largest city as well as a cultural and political hub. It was a good place to start his search. Costa Triste got few tourists, but those that came, … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #48
Ian from Back In My Day is back to review another Fox X-Men property! Is it the worst X-Men movie ever made? There is a disagreement there in this one! For more from Back In My Day, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 173: X-Men The Last Stand
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
Directed by Alain Guiraudie Written by Alain Guiraudie Starring: Pierre Deladonchamps, Christophe Paou, Patrick d’Assumçao, Jérôme Chappatte, Mathieu Vervisch, Gilbert Traïna, Emmanuel Daumas, Sébastien Badachaoui, and François-Renaud Labarthe A tranquil lake that queer men use as a cruising spot creates a perfectly atmospheric backdrop for the erotic and murderous tension of this tale. It’s certainly one of the most slow-burn movies I’ve seen in a … Continue reading Stranger by the Lake Review
I get a little frustrated by movies that seemingly don’t know when to end. I was notoriously not a big fan of Nicholas Cage’s acclaimed movie Pig because, to me, it felt like a sixty minute storyline poorly stretched out to a runtime of ninety minutes. In the interest of making it feature length, they sacrificed good pacing and storytelling, and it all felt very … Continue reading Mr. Sandman (2024) Review
When the Man Comes Around part 1 The blood from his lip dripped into the puddle below, creating a small whirlpool. The cold rain washed over his back as the boy dragged himself with the palms of his hands. His arms were weak, his legs immobile. He had to keep crawling. No one else would help regardless of his young age. He was nameless. He … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #47
We are living in the weirdest timeline: one where there is a whole cinematic universe of action movies based around ballerinas. With two movies in the last few years simply having been called “Ballerina” (okay, I guess the John Wick spin-off had a subtitle) and being about a ballet dancer who goes on a revenge tour against those who have wronged her, you can be … Continue reading Pretty Lethal Review
Mother Earth is In Trouble! Yorgos Lanthimos directs some weird kinds of films, even arguably stranger than David Lynch himself. I can’t say I am a fan of Lanthimos’ works, although I have seen a few of his movies (The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Poor Things). I have been impressed by these entries enough to make me want to watch his newest film, Bugonia. Bugonia is … Continue reading ‘Bugonia’ Stings on Conspiracies and Ecology
Nick Sheisty from the Bad Movies We Love podcast joins The Order this episode to discuss the most recent TMNT movie, Mutant Mayhem! For more from Bad Movies We Love, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 172: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Mutant Mayhem
Here is some funny/concerning/fitting Inside Baseball for our readers: when writing these reviews, I actually write somewhat backwards. I do the Ups And Downs first, then the Overall, and then I come up here to do my preamble and short synopsis. Well today, after finishing the U&D and Overall, I checked the word count just to see where we were, and it was 666. That … Continue reading Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come Review
