Dunkirk Thoughts
I saw 'Dunkirk' over the weekend. Briefly put, my reaction is that I thought it was an amazing film; probably one of Christopher Nolan's best (which is saying something). It was completely unlike any other war film I've seen, punishingly intense, and engaging all the way through. A few things to note: Though I thought … Continue reading Dunkirk Thoughts
Why I Love ‘Independence Day’
When Independence Day came out, it was a huge hit, but ever since then it’s kind of become the poster-child for the big, dumb, CGI-fueled blockbusters of the late 90s. And, yes, in a way it is, but…well, that’s kind of beside the point. The Story: On July 2nd, a massive alien craft appears … Continue reading Why I Love ‘Independence Day’
Reviews: Pete’s Dragon
Pete’s Dragon, like Cinderella or The Jungle Book, is a remake of a classic Disney film that not only improves on the original, but also manages to be a refreshingly individual film in its own right. Here’s a movie that doesn’t so much defy formula as simply ignores it; it’s content to simply tell its … Continue reading Reviews: Pete’s Dragon
Reviews: Suicide Squad
So far the DC Cinematic Universe has been off to an unimpressive start, with the uneven Man of Steel and the God-awful Batman v. Superman. Nevertheless I was cautiously looking forward to Suicide Squad, which from the previews seemed like it would at least not take itself so dang seriously as the other films had, … Continue reading Reviews: Suicide Squad
Small Gems: Sonic Boom
I have a weakness for video game adaptations. About 95% of them are terrible, but I tend to at least look into them, just out of curiosity. Personally, the best one I’ve seen is the first Mortal Kombat movie, which is just delightful. Recently, out of curiosity, I started watching Sonic Boom, the latest television … Continue reading Small Gems: Sonic Boom
A Plug for Tom Stranger
I really love the work of Larry Correia, New York Times Bestselling Author, endlessly amusing and interesting blogger, International Lord of Hate, and man mountain. I first became familiar with him after stumbling across his opinion on gun control (summary: he has certain reservations about it). His Grimnoir Chronicles are some of my favorite recent … Continue reading A Plug for Tom Stranger
Reviews: The Jungle Book
I’ll admit, I’m not a big fan of Disney’s animated version of The Jungle Book. It’s a classic, to be sure, and it’s not in the least a bad movie, but it’s very light fare: just a simple coming-of-age story, and one in which the protagonist is little more than a prop being carted … Continue reading Reviews: The Jungle Book
Reviews: Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice
Whose brilliant idea was it to let the director of Watchmen handle Superman? I thought Zack Snyder was the wrong choice back when I saw Man of Steel, even though I was cautiously favorable of the film. Having seen Batman V. Superman, I not only think he’s the wrong director for this material, but … Continue reading Reviews: Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice
