It's May 5th as I write this, and I have only watched ONE movie for the month of May so far. What the hell? I'm really falling off of my pace. I guess that is to be expected; since I have been vaccinated and the weather is turning, the world is opening back up to... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the end of April! I hope you guys are ready for all of those May flowers! For more from April, click HERE. That's actually not fair. It hasn't rained much here at all. Due to our sewage issues, we recently had a chunk of our back yard dug up. We put down some... Continue Reading →
Marvel gifted us with a trailer for Shang-Chi this week in what appears to have been a surprise release given the lead actor, Simu Liu's, frankly adorable reaction on Twitter. It's admittedly a pretty rad trailer. I had not been too stoked for a Shang Chi movie for a few reasons. First of all, he's... Continue Reading →
This month's draft was... NOT my forte. But I gave it the old college try anyway! When I got together with this month's guests--Pint O Comics, So Wizard, and Flicks X-Rayed--to discuss our next draft, we ultimately settled on Best Movie Soundtracks. Music remains not really my best genre. But I do like movies, and... Continue Reading →
What happens when two movies love each other very much? Well, when the movie's father is John Wick (with all of its carefully crafted backstory universe doled out through the story of a pet loving family man who wants to leave his past behind), and its mother is the tragically forgotten Clive Owen vehicle Shoot...

THE JUNGLE BOOK (1967): Written by: Rudyard Kipling (original), Larry Clemmons, Ralph Wright, Ken Anderson, Vance Gerry, Bill Peet The Jungle Book was the first film released after Walt's death, though he had a big hand in the production of...

There is 100% something to be said for a movie that tells you right in the title exactly what it is going to do. Freddy Vs Jason, for instance! It's not a great movie by any stretch, but it delivers on everything it promises. What more could you ask for? It literally has multiple extended... Continue Reading →
THE SWORD IN THE STONE (1963): Written by: T.H. White (original story), Bill Peet This is arguably one of the most forgotten Disney Animated Canon films, at least among those that were entirely one story and not collections of shorts. I remember it vaguely as a kid, because I saw something where an old wizard was... Continue Reading →
I had given up on Terminator flicks a long time ago. The last Terminator movie I saw was the third entry in the series. I never bothered with Salvation or Genisys because they both looked pretty terrible, and it seemed as though the franchise was just churning out properties to cash in on a nostalgia...

ONE-HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS (1961): Written by: Dodie Smith (novel), Bill Peet (solo) This one's one of the most well-remembered "Middle Period" Disney movies (and the first to be set in the modern day, actually!), owing primarily to its singularly-memorable villain; one so legendary that she's become completely iconic. Cruella de Vil is probably in the... Continue Reading →
