Hey, remember when I used to talk about the Karate Kid and stuff? For the five or so people who read it weekly, I’ll return to my AP Productions universe soon enough, but I thought I’d take a breather and flex my creative muscles in another direction for a bit. What better way to do that than to talk about the Karate Kid’s revival. In … Continue reading Cobra Kai Retrospective

Directed by Norman Jewison Written by Valerie Curtin and Barry Levinson Starring Al Pacino, Jack Warden, John Forsythe, Lee Strasberg, Christine Lahti, Craig T. Nelson, Jeffrey Tambor, Sam Levene, Robert Christian, Thomas G. Waites, Larry Bryggman, and Dominic Chianese Amusingly over-the-top at certain points while being heartbreakingly solemn a lot of the time, this courtroom drama compels me with its tour of a defense attorney’s … Continue reading Review of …And Justice for All
I have been on vacation for almost the entirety of time from August 13th through September 2nd. And because of that and the various trips I made (South Carolina and Toronto), I watched precious little in the realm of movies. I just haven’t had the time or ability. I was either having fun with friends or at Fan Expo Canada as Press and working my … Continue reading Buffet Infinity Review

Directed by Ben Wheatley Written by Derek Kolstad Starring Bob Odenkirk, Reena Jolly, Brendan Fletcher, Jess McLeod, Henry Winkler, Lena Headey, Ryan Allen, Billy MacLellan, and Peter Shinkoda By throwing us into the snowy confines of its small-town setting and tossing in the ingredients that it needs for some stylized fun, this lands with a good amount of quirky charm that gets me seated for … Continue reading My Review of Normal
THE ODYSSEY: A BORING MASTERPIECE A rose by any other name would smell as sweet… This is probably the first concept people should understand before they attempt to write any essay or article about Nolan’s new movie. It’s called The Odyssey, the main character is Ulysses, king of Ithaca, father of Telemachus and husband of Queen Penelope. He went to Troy to fight in the … Continue reading The Odyssey
As an adult man, I get to watch precious few children’s movies. Not because I am opposed to them or anything; I just have no real reason to watch them unless I just happen to decide to put on one. Recently, after a trip to DisneyWorld, I decided to kill off a few blindspots and watch the first two Incredibles movies, The Princess And The … Continue reading The Magic Faraway Tree Review
Avengers: Endgame Encore, a 2026 re-release of the 2019 juggernaut from Marvel Studios that served as the climax to the Infinity Saga of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), is absolutely worth seeing in theaters. It’s worth another trip to the big screen, not because of its marketable added content that plays into Avengers: Doomsday (2026) though that is icing on the cake, but because it’s … Continue reading Is Avengers: Endgame Encore Worth the Price of Admission?
I am firmly in the time of year where it’s getting easier and easier to find movies on streaming that came out in the current calendar year and will add to my new release count when I watch them. It’s the best. For the first few months, January though May or so, it’s difficult to find many new releases on streaming, but after that, it … Continue reading The Cure Review
Carlos, the man behind Carlos Collects Comics, joins The Order this episode to discuss the 1980’s nostalgia trip, Master Of The Universe! For more from Carlos Collects Comics, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 183: Masters Of The Universe (1987)
I am on pace to watch well in excess of 300 movies this year, but I swear I can just never find the time to watch series or shows on television. I know a popular consensus is that we live in a modern Golden Age of TV, but unless a show is something I’m inherently committed to, I just can’t find it in me to … Continue reading The ‘Burbs Review
Directed by Ridley Scott Written by Callie Khouri Starring Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, Stephen Tobolowsky, Brad Pitt, and Timothy Carhart This sincere and invigorating road trip with the eponymous pair of Thelma and Louise—surprise, surprise—turns out to be a lovely journey. It’s fascinating to see how we take the foundation with Callie Khouri’s script and put Ridley Scott at … Continue reading Review of Thelma & Louise
Shark movies! I want to make this abundantly clear: I’m not a shark movie guy. I mean, I like Jaws as much as the next person, but I don’t understand the cinematic world’s fascination with these beasts of the sea. I don’t get why Shark Week is a thing that people celebrate and program TV watching around. I just… it’s all beyond me. There are … Continue reading The Devil’s Mouth Review
Much has been made of the lack of true modern A-list stars in Hollywood. Tom Cruise seems to be the last real one (though I’m sure some of his contemporaries like Brad Pitt and Matt Damon might disagree with that assessment), but he is not a young man (and neither are the other two I mentioned). Can Hollywood survive an era where there are no … Continue reading How To Make A Killing Review
