Zoikes, April has been a busy month. Movies, school stuff, appointments, the usual things. A little cat named Brutus who climbs my leg when he's ready to eat (No, he's not mine. I just feed him sometimes when I'm at the crosswalk. He likes Sheba's seafood cuts and Rachael Ray LoveBites, in case anyone's wondering). … Continue reading The Land of Un
Inspiration, Imagination, and Intrepidation
We all know what they say about March: It comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, or vice versa. My neck of the woods seemed to get a mixture of that this year, but in terms of movies, the "I's" had it. Lots of inspiring stories of intrepid people. Lots of … Continue reading Inspiration, Imagination, and Intrepidation
It’s Not January
As we all know, January is generally the dumping ground of the year's mediocre and bad movies, or at least the most forgettable ones, and there were some real stinkers this year. So yeah, that means February's got to be better, right? Right? Well, yes and no. The bright spots were definitely brighter, and I … Continue reading It’s Not January
January Movies Are Fun. So Much Fun.
Ah, January, that notorious cinematic wasteland. The repose of the How Did This Get Greenlit? movies. The repository of the Are We There Yet? flicks. The refuge of the Will Never Win Anything But Razzies pictures. So yeah, this list isn't exactly a rave. Heh. We're just gonna dive right in (click the images for … Continue reading January Movies Are Fun. So Much Fun.
Farewell, 2023
Welcome to 2024! It looks to be a rocky year in a lot of respects, and I hope it's an illuminating one for us, but in the meantime, we're not quite done with 2023. December was unusually light on blockbusters because of the strikes, and what we could see was pretty lackluster (ahem, Rebel Moon, … Continue reading Farewell, 2023
It Wasn’t Terrible
How was everyone's November? In terms of the movies I saw, things went from meh to less than meh to not bad to not too shabby, with a slight dash of What the Heck Did I Just Watch (Looking at you, Freelance). In fairness, though, November's offerings could have been much, much worse. For one thing, I tried to review Netflix's All the Light … Continue reading It Wasn’t Terrible
Take This Jay-Oh-Bee
October was a wild and crazy month in terms of movies, like, really wild and crazy. In a good way, though. Well, mostly--I did go to a fan screening of Crossroads. Not all of the movies I saw got reviewed, though, because there just wasn't room, but I wish there had been because one of … Continue reading Take This Jay-Oh-Bee
Roam Around the World
Now that I've possibly gotten a certain B-52s song in everyone's head (you're welcome), let's get going... September was cray cray, what with school and work and everything. Among other things I had to face down a Doberman that had gotten out of someone's yard and was urinating all over the place, only to get … Continue reading Roam Around the World
AI, Dracula, and Freebird, Oh My…
August was sedate compared to July, which isn't hard because July was a jam-packed month. Still, there were gems to be found, and here they are, from Worst To Best. Well, more like, from Least Best to Best, and since I had trouble deciding which movie deserved the Best slot, I took the easy way … Continue reading AI, Dracula, and Freebird, Oh My…
Meanwhile, Over On Substack…
Hi, all! I've been thinking about something: There's been a lot of stuff happening on my Substack page lately, and I thought it might be fun to do a little recap on the first Thursday of each month of either the five best movies and shows I've seen, or the five worst, depending on what's … Continue reading Meanwhile, Over On Substack…
