Top Ten Movies of 2020
Posted on: 20 Dec 2020
2020 changed everything. It was a nightmare of a year for reasons we already know quite well. The Covid-19 virus propelled us into a realm of science fiction and horror, and no movie could ever match the reality we’ve all lived for the better part of this horrendous year. Every business has been affected in […]
The Devil All the Time (2020) Review
Posted on: 26 Sep 2020
If there were ever a cinematic equivalent to getting punched in the gut, it’s The Devil All the Time. The breathtaking and paralyzing film puts its characters through many harrowing ordeals, and they just keep getting darker and more dangerous with each new entry. When you think it couldn’t get any worse, The Devil All […]
I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) Review
Posted on: 23 Sep 2020
It’s hard to say what, exactly, is going on in Charlie Kaufman’s new movie, I’m Thinking of Ending Things. There is no definitive conclusion to come to other than there is no definitive conclusion to come to. It’s simply not supposed to fully make sense. One could argue, however, that it does provide just enough […]
Vivarium (2020) Review
Posted on: 21 Sep 2020
A young couple (Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots) is looking for the perfect home. A strange real estate agent (Jonathan Aris) takes them to the surreal subdivision, Yonder, where all the houses are literally identical.

Top Ten Joel Schumacher Movies
Posted on: 18 Sep 2020
When Joel Schumacher passed on June 22 of this year, it created an unpredictable and substantial void in the world of cinema. In spite of all he accomplished in his near-fifty-year career, his name never fully survived infamy for being the filmmaker responsible for putting nipples on the Batsuit. What those who dwell on his […]
Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) Review
Posted on: 11 Sep 2020
It’s been nearly thirty years since we last saw our favorite pair of dim-witted, big-hearted, time-traveling metalheads grace our screens. As any kid of the eighties already knows, 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is essential viewing. Its brand of off-kilter, feel-good, sci-fi comedy may have been next to commonplace at the time of its […]

The Best of the 2010s
Posted on: 16 Feb 2020
The Top 20 Movies of the 2010s: The 2010s was the decade in which movies changed forever. How they are now made, released, shown to and received by audiences is barely recognizable to a decade or two previous when they were king of all popular entertainment/art. In the 2010s, digital officially replaced celluloid at both […]

Craig Zahler, Taika Waititi and many other notable filmmakers had a hand in creating the perfect closing […]
The Professor and the Madman (2019) Review
Posted on: 05 Jan 2020
Because of some pesky behind-the-scenes production squabbles, co-producer/costar Mel Gibson, who had nurtured this film as a personal passion project for years, has chosen to completely distance himself from the released cut of The Professor and the Madman. Cowriter/director Farhad Safinia (in his directorial debut) also took his name off of the film and is […]
