First of all, I have been screwing with these YouTube links for about half-an-hour, trying to get various videos to embed, and it just isn’t having it! Is this a new YouTube and/or WordPress thing? Because if so, I will be ever so cross. I’ve been trying the “Official” videos, other video links, just those home-made videos that give you the lyrics… everything! None of … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten Favorite Female Solo Artists
When I decided to do this after hearing my buddies at The Countdown Podcast do the same category, this was one of those lists that I went into thinking “Well, this will be really hard to do”, and it was! But it shortly became hard for a much different reason than I initially expected. See, I typically don’t think of myself as a sci-fi fan. … Continue reading Top Ten 21st Century Science Fiction Movies
It’s all led up to this. We’re finally at the Top Ten Movies of 2023. According to me. Because these are my articles. You’ll have your chance to give me your top ten at the end here. So be patient. But as a quick recall: I saw 113 movies released in 2023, and I ranked them all and gave the listings of all of my … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #10-1
As a quick catch-up: I watched 113 movies that came out in 2023, and I’m counting down my Top 50, all of which fall into my “Definite Recommends” category. We’ve done #50-41 (click HERE for that), #40-31 (click HERE), and #30-21 (HERE). So we are into the teens! That’s not what I want to talk about, though. In 2022, I set a goal for myself … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #20-11
Okay, we are through #50-31, and it’s time to keep going with this countdown! It’s the middle of the list, and it’s here that we move out of “Very Good” (my 3.25 – 3.5 star territory) and into the start of the “Great” (3.75 – 4.00 star) 2023 movies. I’ll let you know which movie signifies that change, don’t worry. And if you’ve missed the … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #30-21
It’s round two! As I continue to countdown the Top 50 (out of 112) movies that came out in 2023–that is, every movie I would say I recommend fairly strongly–we are out of the 40’s and into the 30’s. Let’s get right into it! (Unless you want to relive where this list started with #50-41, then click HERE) 40. Missing Missing is the quasi-sequel, half-follow-up … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #40-31
I easily cracked my January goal of having seen 100 movies that came out in 2023, having made it to 112 by mid-December, at which point I decided to call the year and get into my Best Of lists. I actually made it to the theater 40 times in total in 2023, for 38 individual movies, two of which I saw twice. The rest of … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #50-41
Happy Halloween! It’s wild that it took me so long to get here, but Nightmare On Elm Street is not like Halloween or Friday the 13th as far as rewatching over the course of my life. There are several Nightmare movies I have only ever seen twice… and the second watch was just within the last year! For whatever reason, I have never held this … Continue reading Nightmare On Elm St Franchise Ranking
Happy Friday The 13th everyone! After the absolutely wonderful 1970’s and 1980’s, horror as a genre went on a pretty steep slide. The 1990’s were fine, but things started getting a bit generic and derivative. We began the decade with some really low-end slasher sequelss to still capitalize from what was big in the 80’s, but those faded quickly. Some meta genre-bending hit in the … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: Top Ten Horror Movies of the 2020’s
Good fiction makes me cry, man. I’ve never hidden this fact. If something is well-made and has basically any amount of emotionality to it, I will likely shed a tear or two. Usually not much, but make no mistake… there are movies on this list that made me sob. Just full-on ugly cry. I think part of my brain appreciates writing that is able to … Continue reading Top Ten Movies That Made Me Cry
Here we are! It took most of the first month of January to get here, but I am finally at the top ten movies I watched for the first time in 2022. Having met my goal of 300 movies in 12 months (I actually hit it in 11) for SWO Productions, I am WAY off that pace for the first few weeks of 2023! I … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches Of 2022, #10-1
This is definitely my top ten movies of 2022. I say that because last time there was some consternation about one of my picks in my #20-11 range. Someone was displeased I included Werewolf By Night. It seems enough like a movie to me, but maybe not to others. So you could argue my last “ten” only had nine “movies”. So I put it up … Continue reading Top Thirty 2022 New Release Movies, #10-1
How do percents work again? What is ten out of fifty? Let’s see… that would be 20 out of 100. So 20%! Let’s get into the next twenty percents’ worth of my favorite movies I watched for the very first time ever in 2022! Since there are two lists left, that means we are in the… (twenty times two…) top fortieth percentile here! Fun with … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches of 2022, #20-11
We are back to running down the best 50 films I saw for the first time ever in 2022, and this is where things go from Very Good to Great, as we officially cross over from the 3.5 star movies to the 4 stars. Let’s see what they are! 30. Evil Dead Prior to 2022, I’d seen Army of Darkness innumerable times. I had seen … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches of 2022, #30-21
It’s part two of Stew’s look back at the 72 new release movies he saw in 2022. Look, I didn’t want to take up your whole life and rank all SEVENTY-TWO of them, but I did want to shout out the ones I can unquestionably recommend. So I decided to do this Top 30 list! We reviewed #30-21 last time. Now we are onto the … Continue reading Top Thirty New Release Movies Of 2022, #20-11
